It’s official, the best time of the year is here, and I couldn’t be happier. Not only do we have the excitement of Christmas, but we also have the buzz of a new beginning. It’s this part of the year that most of us hibernate with a cheese- and chocolate-only diet, only to re-emerge on the 2nd of January, when we must drag ourselves back to reality and work. The festive time of year may be extra special for some couples too, as it’s the most popular time for partners to propose. If that’s you, then congratulations! Your mind may already be turning to wedding planning, but hit the brakes – this period is made for slowing down and family time. The wedding planning will still be there in the New Year when spring wedding show season kicks in – then the wedding fun really begins! That’s it for us this year; see you in 2026 with new wedding trends, lots of real wedding inspiration and articles to guide you through your wedding era.
