November/December 2022

 
I was chuffed when the powers that be at KD Events & Publishing Towers approved my suggestion to run bride and groom, Louise and Dewar, along with their gorgeous boys, as our latest cover stars. Why? It’s no longer the case of girl meets boy, girl marries boy, girl falls pregnant and so starts family life. These days it can be girl meets girl, or they meets them – and kids can come before or after your nuptials. That’s why I was keen to have an entire family on the November/December cover. Long gone is the notion that you have to marry the opposite sex – and that you should be in wedlock before having a child. At the end of the day, if you fall for your soulmate and have children before you get hitched, good on you! And if you decide having kids isn’t your bag, relax with your decision and be proud of it.

Now that I’ve got off my stool and had my say, it’s time to talk about our fantastic issue and all we’ve got in store for you over the next 100 pages. There’s Louise and Dewar’s fantastic wedding, of course, over on page 36 – if you like the thought of guys in kilts you’ll be in for a nice surprise! Afterwards, turn to page 75, and check out a ton of regional music and entertainment suppliers to delight your guests. You’ve casino tables, superhero characters, a live artist and plenty of singers and DJs to explore, before moving on to page 81 for advice from wedding experts aplenty. All that plus fab competitions, stunning Essex venues, head turning bridal jewellery and the latest news and views from the best county in the country.

See you in 2023!

Bridal tanning tips and advice from luxury tanning brand That'So
 
Tanning can be a scary prospect for running up to your big day, and you might be feeling unsure what tan to apply and how to apply it so that it looks flawless and is in no way patchy. You might well be off wearing fake tan in the fear that it'll rub of onto your wedding dress, however, when prepped and applied correctly, a self-tan can look incredible, giving you a gorgeous sun-kissed glow for your big day. So, Nadia- Rafi Kenny from That'so Skincare and Tanning has put together her top tips and advice to help you prep and apply your tan for your special day with the help of some products in the brand's tanning range that will provide the skin with a seamless, healthy and long-lasting glow.
