March/April 2019 |
| |
Despite being a self-confessed winterholic, I can’t say I’m sorry to see the back of the dark nights and am very much looking forward to the change in seasons. When I think of spring, what immediately comes to mind is new life. There’s just something in the air, with trees coming to life and wonderful spring flowers blossoming. So if you have a gorgeous spring wedding planned, excellent choice, I say!
As the new season brings with it a shift in wedding trends, I’m excited to see what this year brings. I’m already daydreaming about contemporary rustic hues with a dash of vintage chintz – dusty blue, soft green, lemon yellow and even this year’s Pantone colour, Living Coral, all of which have been the inspiration behind my picks for these pages. Fresh, clean floral fun – just glorious!
Just picture yourself, a beautiful warm day, relaxing on the patio of one of Kent’s stunning stately homes, sipping bubbly and mingling with your nearest and dearest – lord and lady of the manor for a day. If that sounds right up your street, turn to page 33, where we give you our rundown of the loveliest manor house and stately home venues around.
Like the seasons, something that never stops evolving is cake! Well and truly gone are the days of Victoria sponge, fruit or bust. This issue, the supertalented bakers of Kent have showcased the year’s top trends in a feature that looks good enough to eat. So follow the cake crumbs over to page 75.
Don’t forget if you’d like to see your own “I dos” in the magazine, just drop me a line at kellya@kdmediapublishing.com
Happy planning, one and all! |
