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).
