We all emerge from winter hibernation to take in the fresh floral breeze and the new life nature has in store for us. And it’s that symbolism of new life that makes it such a special time of year to tie the knot, with couples starting out on their married journey together. Springtime is an ever-popular time of year to host a wedding and it’s easy to see why. For those of us who aren’t a fan of the summer heat but prefer more hours of sunshine, it’s perfect. Plus the styling opportunities are oh-so romantic; with our favourite flowers coming into bloom your wedding venue can sing with freshness and the abundance of nature. We love a pretty pastel palette with an English country garden vibe for these months, bringing the best of the outdoors in! This issue though we take a wander through several seasons celebrating springtime as we dive into the world of Bridgerton, while embracing the autumn with our real weddings. So, whatever time of year you’re saying, “I do,” there’s plenty here to love! So, as ever enjoy and keeeep planning!
