Your Yorkshire Wedding - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 28)

Looking ahead 2018! I can’t quite get my head around it yet... it feels like last year went by in the blink of an eye and no doubt I’ll be saying the same thing again in 12 months’ time. There’s an exciting year ahead for the McIntyre clan, which includes (among many other things) my sister’s summer wedding and a long overdue trip away with my BFF, which we’ve been promising each other every year since our babies were born! With that in mind I’m sure there are many of us out there already gearing up for ‘operation wed-bod’ – that is trying our hardest to shift those extra Christmas pounds – we’ve got some great tips on looking and feeling your big-day best in our beauty and wellness section from page 70. Valentine’s Day is of course also just around the corner providing romantic inspiration in every guise, from colour schemes to flowers and cakes to catering. This issue we’ve got love in abundance with some of the cutest ideas around, check out page 79 for a round-up of the best. If you’re tying the knot this year then there really is no better time to start your planning, what else is there to do during these long, winter nights? Turn to page 45 to get answers to the most frequently asked dress shopping related questions or for transport options inspired by countries from around the world flick to page 51. This time around we also welcome the last three couples battling it out for our wedding of the year crown. Huge congratulations also to Dudley and Lora who’ve made it through to the final, they’re certainly in fine company! In an issue that’s bursting at the seams with great advice and stunning fashion ideas there’s nothing left for me to say other than that I wish you all a very happy new year, I can’t wait to see what’s in store over the next 12 months. Happy planning!
