Your North East Wedding - May/June 2020 (Issue 38)

6 W e’re well and truly into 2020 now and although it’s been a shaky start so far with the outbreak of the coronavirus, I’ve been buoyed by the ‘keep calm and carry on’ nature of our wonderful wedding industry. At the time of writing, precautionary measures have taken place, however, the show must go on, and like all adversity, ‘this too shall pass.’ So, in that vein, let’s look to a bright future and keep planning your special occasion! Luckily, the weather is turning, and spring is hands down my favourite time of year – maybe it’s because of the sunshine, the beautiful flowers in bloom or the longer evenings – either way, I’m so excited! This is an exciting issue and it definitely won’t disappoint! If you’re looking to plan the perfect wedding, then make sure to keep reading because we have some great features lined up. Our hot topic feature will help with any big day issues from transport to photography questions – our experts are here to help you. Don’t miss out on our music and entertainment feature, where you can discover different suppliers to keep guests having fun all day long. Alternatively, why not check out the jewellery and accessories pages, where you can learn how to add the finishing touches to any look? This fast-paced industry always has something exciting waiting around the corner, which is why the nearlywed news feature is ideal to catch up on all the latest from around the region. We have also scouted the area for some of the best venues throughout the North East, and I’m personally loving the coastal and waterside setting feature, what’s more romantic than saying ‘I do’ with waves crashing in the background? That’s all from me, now sit back, relax and celebrate anything and everything wedding! Olivia x Distributed by Marketforce (UK) Ltd, 5 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HU.
