Nothing screams perfect Sunday, then bumbling around a stunning historic home or gorging myself on farmshop delicacies. In fact, I think this may be when I recharge my dopamine levels for the year! The sense of fulfilment, having spent an obscene amount of money on local artists’ goods, should be studied as an antidepressant. Goodness knows where I’ll keep it all at home, seeing as we are up to our eyeballs in paraphernalia; but that’s a problem for future Issy – present Issy is just glad she got another notebook with a hedgehog on it. If this resonates with you, and your dopamine levels are reliant on a garden centre mooch, then it might be time to stockpile. Planning a wedding takes a lot out of you, so you’ll need to be able to approach it with as much calm and organisation as possible. In this issue, I’ll help you combat the planning stress and give you top tips on booking your photographer; along with loads of other inspiration to get you wedding ready. So, grab a slice of cake, a refreshing drink and sit down with me while I guide you through this busy time. Chat soon!
