ERSummer, glorious summer, and what a fabulous season to host your wedding. However, please have a plan B in place as the rain might sneak up on you and spoil your plans for your perfect day.
This summer edition is bulging with wonderful ideas and suggestions to make your special day even more special. Firstly, we hosted our photo shoot at a relatively new venue called “In the Woods”, a picturesque location which enhanced the beautiful gowns we had on offer. The shoot was beautifully styled by Biji of Biji La Maison de Couture, who showed just how passionate and professional she is. Maeve Bridal Jewellery provided hand crafted pieces that enhanced the look of every gown.
We have something for everyone in this issue, from health and beauty suggestions to picture perfect wedding venues, inspiring décor including gorgeous hand bouquets to our regular “Real Wedding” articles for you to draw inspiration from and much more!!

And a word of wisdom as you plan your wedding, remember this is also your marriage, pledging yourselves to each other for as long as you both shall live. To ensure a good marriage, here’s what the Bible tells us to do: Ephesians 5:25&26 - “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her, However, let each one of you love his wife as himself and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”
Love Maggie
