After a very busy year tying the knot to my wonderful partner, travelling to some beautiful places and celebrating several of our friends getting married, it’s finally time to close the door on 2022. It’s been quite a year, with a flurry of weddings from some beautiful couples across South Wales, lots of new companies opening their doors and some getting back to normal post-pandemic. Seeing things open up again has been wonderful and I can’t wait to see what 2023 brings! If you’re a regular reader, then you’ll know that the November/December issue has always been my favourite, and I look forward to writing it every year. It’s packed full of inspiration, adorable products, seasonal weddings and the latest fashion trends. To celebrate the end of 2022, we’ve gone all out with a wintry feature that will help you create the perfect festive wedding, must-see photography pages and the latest on-trend dresses. If you’re dreaming of tying the knot in a fairytale venue, then we’ve got you covered on page 27 or if you’re looking for something in Monmouthshire or Brecon, head over to page 19. Remember, if you’ve tied the knot, you can submit your big day at melissa.cullen@kdeventsandpublishing.com or www.yoursouthwales.wedding/get-involved-real-wedding Here at Your South Wales Wedding, we’re planning to celebrate Christmas with our friends and family and welcome in the new year in style.
