September/October 2023

 
Welcome to the September/October edition of An Essex Wedding. We hope the start of autumn gives us the Indian Summer we all deserve – let’s face it – July was a washout! But, do you know what? I’ve been hearing about the most spectacular summer weddings, whatever the weather. The funkiest brolly shots, dreamy rainbows and all the drama of stormy skies. Essex is also blessed with beautiful barns, historic castles and totally bouji hotels to mark your day – just check out dream venues feature on p19.

If you’re currently on the lookout for wedspiration, we have included two stunning styled shoots. One, shot in Baddow Park, giving all the Italian vibes – chic and effortlessly cool. Secondly our ‘Girls just wanna have fun!’ shoot – so much inspo you can take on board for your hen do or for some memorable moments with your bride tribe on W Day itself!

As always, we have three fabulous real weddings. And remember, it’s so easy to submit your wedding to grace the pages of An Essex Wedding, simply fill out the form on our website.

Happy Planning!

Let's talk about sleep - the importance of rest
 
Let's talk about sleep - the importance of rest
 
A new nationwide study has revealed as many as 86 percent of us now regularly struggle to drift off - not good if you're wanting to look and feel your best physically and mentally in the run up to your wedding day and on-the-day itself! Research has revealed the top 20 natural sleep inducers in the modern age – and counting sheep or mugs of Horlicks did not make the cut. In fact, modern Brits are more likely to get intimate with their other half, listen to a true crime podcast, watch a comedy show, tidy their room from top to bottom, or cuddle up with their pet. But the survey shows, simply reading a book is the number one snooze inducing activity (23 percent), followed by scrolling through social media (22 percent), despite the consensus that looking at phones is bad for our sleep patterns.
