6 IT’S A LOVE THING F irstly, let me wish all our readers a very happy New Year and if you’re starting out 2019 with a sparkly new ring on your finger – congratulations, the journey starts here! The festive season is a peak period for proposals and with Valentine’s Day around the corner, love is in the air and there’s a buzz of expectation. It’s not just the engagement ring that’s in the spotlight, we showcase a whole range of jewellery and accessories to make your big day shine, starting on page 63. We’re excited for all the fabulous spring and summer weddings to come and although the first green shoots may still seem a way off, we’re already dreaming of fabulous florals and pretty pastels. Check out our moodboards, starting on page 69, for a colour burst of inspiration. However, while the long winter nights are still with us, now is the perfect time to get cracking with the planning. Doing your homework is vital, so while the weather’s still frosty outside, you can cosy up with your other half to browse the pages of this issue. Packed full of wedding loveliness, it’s a treasure trove of inspiration and local wedding experts on your doorstep.
