Here comes the sun
ello lovely readers, and welcome to another issue of Your East Midlands Wedding. As the weather warms up and the daffodils start peeping through, itâs time to welcome spring with open arms. Weâre one step closer to summer, and although Iâm dreaming of those beach days soaking up the sun, spring is such a special time of year. I love being in nature surrounded by blooming flowers and as a huge animal lover, Iâm so excited for adorable animals to be born! The time of year is perfect for exchanging vows, and we can begin utilizing outdoor spaces for the âI dosâ, drinks receptions, garden games, chill out areas and more. As we get closer to July, I canât help but get even more excited for my colleague Melissa to tie the knot to the lovely Dave. As a bridesmaid, Iâve loved supporting my close friend and helping her prepare for such an important day â I canât wait to see her walk down the aisle! Iâve found my perfect attire, a sage green cold-shoulder dress, and all I need now is to find those perfect finishing touches. Weâve worked hard this issue to provide you with plenty of inspiration, top tips, dreamworthy gowns, picture-perfect venues and more. It doesnât matter if youâre at the start of your wedding journey or looking for those last-minute touches â weâve got you covered.
