When planning your wedding, a key consideration should always be longevity. With each selection and decision ask yourself, will this dress, cake and décor stand the test of time? Sure, it’s fun (and recommended) to include trending items that also make your big day feel current and informed. But you don’t want to look back at your photos and gasp when you see wildly exaggerated puffy sleeves on your dress, mile-high teased bangs and bold makeup. There are a multitude of safe ways to embrace trends while still maintaining an elegant and timeless aesthetic.
We’ve seen a return to the classics in some form or another when it comes to all aspects of wedding design. From ornate, Lambeth-style cakes with Victorian piping, to bespoke floral and feminine invitations, people are longing for beautiful designs that, rightfully so, have stood the test of time.
This issue is dripping in Old-World charm, from the stunning interiors of Solari, where we shot our fashion spread, to the effortlessly gorgeous bouquets and styles shown throughout. A wedding in itself is steeped in tradition and history. What’s more romantic than the idea of forever?

Throughout this issue you’ll find exceptional guidance from local experts on all of the essentials, including music selection, photography, catering and so much more.
