August/September 2022

 
It’s official, I’m a married woman – eeek! After being engaged for nearly 18 months, and with all of the lockdowns and uncertainty, it’s been quite a rollercoaster of emotions, but I couldn’t have asked for a better day. It seems like just yesterday that I was telling our loved ones that we were engaged, and here we are as husband and wife (I don’t think I’ll ever get used to saying that).

My number one piece of advice is to enjoy the process and make it about what you want. We found that many of our nearest and dearest were quite vocal about what they wanted and how the day should be, which can feel quite overwhelming at times but try to remember it’s meant to be about you and your partner. Pick things that you want, and that will make you both happy and forget about everyone else. The day goes by in a flash so take some time out just the two of you to have a chat and take everything in.

Things will go wrong, but that’s okay. On the day, you won’t notice the little things, and all that will matter will be celebrating with your friends and family. Surround yourself with people that you love and trust. My bridesmaids were amazing at keeping my nerves in check and making sure I felt like a special bride. I couldn’t have asked for better, and I can’t wait to look back on our photographs with them.

This issue is full of inspiration, we highlight the latest cake trends, meet local musicians and entertainers and take a peek at gorgeous venues in Cumbria. If that’s not enough, we also look at showstopping wedding dresses and wow-factor honeymoon destinations.

Remember, if you’ve recently celebrated your day or have been involved with a shoot, you can submit it here or via email.

Cumbria's Premier Wedding Show is back this September
 
Cumbria's Premier Wedding Show is back! After the huge success of its February show, with almost 700 visitors, the team have announced its next show will be taking place on 25th September, 2022, between 11am and 4pm.

"The wedding and event industry has suffered huge financial, emotional, and devastating loss over the previous two years and the show certainly brought in new business, opened the doors for many exhibitors and the feedback has been overwhelming," said organisers Carol Milnes and Carol Waggott, the two Carlisle business women behind the event. "We received so many wonderful comments and feedback and we are committed to continue supporting and helping a varied selection of businesses by engaging with visitors to gain exposure in a fun and vibrant atmosphere, and to support brides and grooms to find their dream suppliers. We have the drive and passion to raise the profile of the great wedding businesses we have in this beautiful county."
