Italways amazes me when one of our County Wedding Magazines reaches issue 100 ‒ it’s just such a big number isn’t it?! It takes around 17 years for this milestone and, now I’m showing my age, you’ll see my name in the first issue of most of them. Your Surrey Wedding is no exception. Launched in 2006, it was bright, busy, and very early noughties in terms of fashion, styling and colour palettes – there was a lot of pink! Fast-forward to 2023, the fonts are different, the logo’s slightly changed, the images are sharper and the inspiration is on-trend. However, our love of weddings hasn’t faltered, nor has the passion for shouting about local businesses; and, after the last few years we’ve had – don’t mention the c-word – Your Surrey Wedding is a support to businesses and readers in the local area now more than ever.

This issue, be sure to check out our Happy Birthday feature on page 15 which is like one giant birthday card; we have a waterside wedding venues article on page 29 and a ‘getting to know your photographer’ piece over on page 57. There’s inspiration aplenty from pages 36 to 50 where you can see how your fellow Surrey newlyweds tied the knot.
