Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - June/July (Issue 95)

My much-loved parents are celebrating 50 years of genuinely happy marriage this June which, in this day and age, is a remarkable achievement. Not only have they provided a happy home life for my brother and me to grow up in – and there’s not a day goes by that I’m not grateful for the carefree childhood that we had – they still provide a loving family unit for us now that we’re adults. When I watch how they love, respect and support one another, take care of each other and talk and laugh a lot, I realise that these are the key ingredients to a long and successful marriage. As a family, we’ll be celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary this June and I can’t wait. Another big celebration taking place in June is The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and plenty of our local suppliers will be taking part so whatever you’re planning for the extended bank holiday weekend, enjoy this historic milestone. In this issue, we have real-life couples at the start of their marital journey, who I wish all the very best plus styled shoots and venue dressing inspiration, expert advice, offers, news and more. Until the next issue, Claire x Claire Ridley, Editor Happy anniversary I’ve just invested in some dried bunny tails (dyed pink of course!) for my newly decorated lounge – I love them! Take inspiration from florists that love to work with dried and preserved flowers in our handmade feature on page 53. Instagram went into overdrive with the recent news that Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz had tied the knot and on page 59, we reveal some celebrity-inspired suits! WIN! A two-night stay in the Lake District, worth £1,500 on page 91.
