Autumnal creations Y
es, I successfully survived the summer – hurrah! To be fair, I don’t know if we can even describe the last few months as summer, but never mind, it suited me down to the ground! Now, here we are in autumn already. This season is growing enormously in popularity for weddings and is one of my favourites as I love to see couples getting super-creative with their themes and colour palettes. Think rich jewel tones, which are stunning on their own or used with pastels as an accent colour. Rust is huge at the moment. Oh-so modern, it comes into its own during the autumn months. More so than any other season, autumn immediately conjures up associated colours typified by nature at this time of year, such as the reds and oranges of turning leaves. It’s also ideal timing if you fancy something a bit quirky. With Halloween on the horizon, add plenty of pumpkins to your styling. What about carving your own romantic scenes into them to represent your unique love story and using as illuminated centrepieces? Gothic and enchanted forest vibes also work particularly well at this time of year. What’s more, the much-loved rustic feel really comes into it’s own when given a harvest-time twist. September and October are also awash with wedding fairs, so as well as being a lush time to get married, it’s the ideal time to flesh out your vision with supplier soul mates! This issue we’ve got the usual blend of stunning real weddings and local shoots for you, offering a whole heap of wedspiration. Meanwhile, the county’s photographers give us the benefit of their wisdom and we take a peek into the world of intimate weddings. So, as ever, enjoy and keeeep planning!

24 STAR OF THE SHOW This shot of bride Anna and her gorgeous little daughter really melts the heart. The young lady, age five, performed a word-perfect reading during her parents’ ceremony after just one practice.

97 WIN! A romantic break in Yorkshire worth £1,000
43 SWEET SUCCESS The theme for this local shoot was inspired by a meadow. Its big-day bake by Claire Hansen Cakes, decorated with flowers grown at Yalham Hayes’ flower farm, fits in beautifully and is quite the showstopper. 7
