Welcome to wedding season! May marks the true start of summer weddings. Sun equals fun, so any colour goes, from muted mochas to neon brights. Your day, your way has never been truer as your options aren’t dictated by freezing conditions. And, at the end of the day, us Brits are used to a bit of rain, so whatever happens we’ll be drinking our Pimm’s having a darn good time! If you’re counting down the weeks – or days, the big decisions are made, so, relax and enjoy this special time. For those starting their wedding journey, well let’s get planning! This issue, we speak to local cake makers, all artists in their field. I’m forever blown away by the attention to detail these edible masterpieces involve. They really are too good to eat! We also chat to a selection of Essex-based bridal boutiques, who introduce us to their favourite gowns in stock. As always, we have three real weddings. As a 9 ‘til 5 Dolly Parton lovin’ gal, Hannah and Ben’s amazing western-themed wedding had me online straightaway buying my own pair of cowboy boots! They pulled off a day to be proud of! Then there’s Abby and Ed who wed at Villiers Barn, who oped for post ceremony ‘Aperol Hour’ - a genius concept and makes for great photos! Lastly, Alison and Jack Grogan married at Colchester Oyster Fishery, the first wedding to ever take place there! And what a location it is! To submit your own nuptials to An Essex Wedding, get in touch via our simple online form: www.anessex.wedding/get-involved That’s not all – there’s also new-season bridal fashion, brilliant beauty buys, news, venues and more! Happy reading! Wedding season Rachel Westall, Editor Rachel x Vibrant hues and funky props for this styled shoot I want to get married again so I can wear cowboy boots under my dress! Alison and Jack chose a cheese tower instead of a tiered cake. ISSN 1745-6541 An Essex Wedding is solely owned, published and designed by Ellis Media and Events Ltd.
