July/August 2018
 
I’m all about the floral prints, not a day will go by where my attire isn’t flower related – I just can’t get enough! When everyone was questioning which designer the new Duchess of Sussex was wearing – did anyone guess Givenchy? No, we didn’t either, but didn’t she look gorgeous. I was keen to know whether there was going to be peony, camellia, rose, sweet William or the ever traditional sprig of myrtle included in the bridal bouquet and I’m not going to lie to you, I may have teared up a little as the nation was told Harry had picked some flowers from the garden in Kensington Palace himself – Meghan’s a lucky lady. We at An Essex Wedding HQ want to wish the newlyweds the happiest of lives together.

From colour charts to styling, honeymoons to fashion, we’re here to guide you along the way on your own wedding journey. This issue fashion editor Claire showcases a plethora of gorgeous gowns from the industry’s emerging designers on page 79. Or, turn to page 85 if you want to see the latest must-have colour accessories.

Finally, you might notice a few changes in this issue, but the most exciting of all is that going forward each and every one of our magazines will feature three inspirational local real weddings, which you can find on pages 35, 42 and 49 respectively.
