We have finally made it through the hottest part of the year! For many, there’s a shared sigh of relief but for others, a cry for what was a particularly warm summer. I’m strongly in the group who are relived that it’s finally over – I’m a winter baby and I find it easier to handle everyday life when I can snuggle up in a jumper. Plus, this half of the year has so much we get to look forward to – Halloween, fireworks, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve! All fantastic opportunities for a party and all of which offer a strong dose of autumn/ winter character. I love the way brands lean into the marketing for these celebrations; I know I’m consumerism’s best friend because you put a pumpkin or a snowflake on a regular product and I’m all over it. So, how are weddings going to shift this season? Well, with the arrival of colder months, we find that couples like to opt for more intimate celebrations. They’ve got their partying out in the summer, and now they want to cuddle up and have a small bash for their nuptials. In this issue we look at intimate weddings, and also how you can master wedding day flowers. Grab a blanket, a warming drink, and let’s dive into the world of autumn weddings!
