I love this time of year, not only because I’m a magpie who adores anything that sparkles, but because it’s an opportunity for me to create a magazine full of seasonal splendour! This year, I think we’re all looking forward to a special festive period of being reunited with loved ones to eat, drink and be merry now that all restrictions have been lifted. Whether you’re putting the finishing touches to a winter wedding or planning a larger affair for next year, it’s always fun for me to compile our end-of-year issue. I asked some of my favourite wedding photographers in both regions to send me their treasured Christmas wedding images which are revealed on page 51. I have also rounded up a selection of some of the best snow-capped venues in both regions that can be seen on page 15. There’s also bridal jewellery and accessories, dream dresses, big-day beauty and hot honeymoon destinations, along with much more, so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did creating it, and I’ll see you next year. Until then... Claire x Claire Ridley, Editor Ho, ho, ho! I’ll be enjoying these mince pies this Christmas from Rosebud Preserves of Masham and Two Dales Bakery of Reeth. Turn to page six to read more news from around the region. Merry Xmas! Getting married this season?
