It’s summer, it’s the silly season and we’re in a fabulously festive mood! Congratulations if you’re recently engaged; it’s the most wonderful and exciting time, but planning a wedding is also hard work. That’s where we come in. This issue is filled with hundreds of creative ideas and expert advice to inspire the day of your dreams. Current colour schemes are influenced by mixed berry tones and you’ll find vibrant examples in this issue. If you’re looking for fun ways to keep your guests entertained while you’re having your photo’s taken, we have an exclusive extract on page 30 from Storied Weddings. We also asked UK floral designer Judith Blacklock for expert tips from her latest book Wedding Flowers A Step-by-Step Guide on page 74. Of course, our local industry talent has also provided pages and pages of inspiration in this issue. We have eight styled shoots showcasing an array of locations, trends and palettes, they’ll all take you on journeys of delight. We’ll also help you plan for the pitfalls that come with outdoor weddings on page 84 and get you started on your budget (Page 10). Please visit our website and download our essential checklists and planners. Don’t you love the cake on our cover? We’ve sourced some of the coolest cakes in South Africa on page 90. Take a moment to appreciate the sugar flower art used to decorate many of them. Our Real Wedding section begins with Renette and Rohan’s incredible three-day celebrations on page 96. Then we take you to Sally and Jean’s private beach wedding on the Greek island of Skiathos before heading home to some truly romantic days in Cape Town, Elgin, the Pilansberg and Kwa-Zulu Natal.
