August/September 2023 |

I was excited to get to work on compiling this issue because my cousin, Kirsty got married to her new hubby, Sean in Chipping Norton recently and I couldn’t wait to feature their special day which was decorated with a pretty blush-pink and sage-green colour theme. I’m delighted for them both and wish them all the very best for their married life together.
Whether you’re starting your wedding planning journey or looking for some final finishing touches for an autumn celebration, this issue offers something for every couple. There are more local real-life wedding stories, expert advice plus a team of talented regional suppliers who collaborated on our exclusive styled shoot. There’s also all the latest wed-day news, exclusive offers, fashion, beauty and hot honeymoon ideas.
Until the next issue...

Classic Roberts radios, quality toiletries and smart TVs are just some of the features provided.
The 90-seater 1560 Restaurant & Bar in the Mansion House serves a British-inspired menu, alongside a range of craft beers, wines and classic cocktails. The Whiskey Lounge is another drinking establishment and stylish restaurant The View, and Benedict’s Bar located in Wokefield Place, all offer a range of delicious dishes, plus an outdoor pizza oven has also been introduced on the terrace.
