Read top expert advice to learn how to source eco-friendly jewellery. Check out how stunning this ocean-themed cake is! Hello lovely readers, and welcome to another issue of Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding. You might not recognise me yet, but I’m the new editor of this incredible magazine. There’s so much to love about these beautiful counties from the rural countryside, deeply rooted history, the Jurassic coast and famous landmarks – the areas are perfect for memorable weddings. I have fallen in love with both counties and I can’t wait to work with even more talented suppliers as well as newlyweds. Planning a wedding is such an exciting experience, and if I could share one piece of advice, it would be to get organised from the get-go. Make a list of everything important to you both and highlight any priorities. It’s always good to know what you want on the big day, but I recommend not just focusing on one style and ruling everything else out. Start the planning process with an open mind and make sure that you ultimately plan a wedding that symbolises you both. Remember that teamwork makes the dream work! If you’re on the hunt for local suppliers, you’re in luck because we’ve searched high and low to find trustworthy companies. In this wonderful issue, you’ll find stellar advice, top tips and inspiration to help you plan the perfect day. We’ve got you covered from beauty experts, stunning venues, florists, bakers, and more! That’s all from me; now sit back, relax and celebrate anything and everything wedding. Happy planning!
