Dream a little dream

As I write this, we are two weeks clear of Freedom Day: July the 19th – I think this date is now etched in our memories forever more. Yes, it was wonderful to finally be able to hug, see friends and family, go to a restaurant with more than a carefully selected group of six loved ones; but for me, the most important thing: weddings were back!

For 18 months I watched as an industry I loved – and have worked in for 18 years – was brought to a grinding halt, and without dwelling too much on it now we’re through the other side, it was an emotional roller-coaster for all involved.

Now, we can look to the future, and go back to the excitement of what it means to plan and attend weddings: get those dancing shoes out, brush off those dance moves and get ready to p.a.r.t.y on that wedding dancefloor like you’ve never partied before.

This issue feels like a true celebration of local venues and suppliers, we have a host of hotels over on page 15, a fab selection of local handmade items over on page 57 and there’s a bunch of talented suppliers helping you look your big-day best on page 79!

Also check out our gorgeous real weddings this issue, honestly, I can never choose a favourite, they’re over on pages 29, 34 and 41.
