Weddings are magical, but let’s be honest – they’re just the main act in a fab festival. From the moment that ring slips on a finger to long after you’ve danced your last dance, there’s a whole world of events waiting to be celebrated. It’s like your story has its own season of must-watch episodes, each one special in its own right.

This month, we’re pulling back the curtain on all those wonderful moments that bookend your big day as we introduce you to The Celebrations Issue. We’re talking about every champagne toast, every teary-eyed speech, and every tradition that makes your story yours. Whether it’s a cosy and intimate engagement party with your nearest and dearest, a fun night out with your besties to celebrate a hens or bucks party and even that lazy celebration the day after the big shebang for a debrief.

But here’s the thing – planning all these events can feel like you’re suddenly starring in your own reality show without a script. That’s where we come in! We’ve rallied our army of vendors, planners, and wedding pros to spill the tea on making each celebration unforgettable.

From time-honoured traditions to trendy new ways to party, we’re covering it all. We’ll guide you through the what, when, why, and how of pre-wedding buzzes and post-wedding glows. Whether you’re all about that traditional life or looking to shake things up with some modern twists, we’ve got all the info (and inspo!) coming your way.

So grab a glass of bubbly (or your beverage of choice) and dive in with us. By the time you’re done, you’ll be ready to turn your entire wedding journey into the celebration of the century. No event too big, no detail too small – we’re here to help you make every moment count.
