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!

Braxted Park

At the heart of a walled estate and down a torch-lined sweeping drive you’ll find Braxted Park, a truly impressive setting for a winter wedding. What’s more, from mid-November Braxted undertakes a significant festive makeover as it heads into the winter months. Couples can take advantage of the world-class decor and theming put in place by the venue’s team for their Christmas season, with December weddings including ceiling chandeliers and drapes in the Pavilion, enhanced dancefloor lighting, and additional garden lights and flares.

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to saying ‘I do’ at this venue, with many options for up to 170 guests. The Orangery exudes romance, with Roman-inspired murals and arched windows that look out over the garden. Braxted Park even has a church within its grounds, meaning you can have a religious ceremony, if you wish to do so. If a winter wedding’s not for you there’s also the option to tie the knot in the warmer months at the heart of the walled garden, as your guests soak up the sun and floral scents dance on the breeze. Afterwards, host your reception for up to 350 in the Pavilion, with neutral décor so you can truly make it your own. The in-house catering team will create a spectacular menu for your special day, then, come evening, a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system and huge dance floor ensure that you and your guests will enjoy yourselves long into the night.
