Winter winds
Hello lovely readers and welcome to another issue of Your Herts and Beds Wedding magazine! I don’t know about you, but this year has flown by – I’m still unsure where the last few months have gone. As we say hello to 2023, I can’t help but reflect on the past year and what an incredible 12 months it has been with many unforgettable moments, milestones and new experiences. I’m so thankful to have created many amazing memories with loved ones and finally be able to travel again to some amazing destinations.
You’re in for a treat this issue with some oh-so-glamorous weddings full of inspiration and showstopping touches – best grab your paper and pen!
We’ve gathered top advice from the experts to help make the planning process much more manageable no matter if you’ve just popped the question or are about to tie the knot.
Every couple wants to look their big-day best on their special day. That’s why we have features dedicated to beauty, bridalwear and attire for the grooms. It’s important you feel confident and the very best version of yourself.
We’ve been busy sourcing the very best venues for winter nuptials as well as focusing on some lovely Hertfordshire properties this issue.
I hope you enjoy reading this magazine as much as I loved putting it together. That’s all from me, have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
