ou’ve dreamed about it since you were a child — your wedding day, perfect in every way, sprinkled with fairy dust. Now you’re engaged, the love of your life by your side, and the wedding planning has begun in earnest. We’re here to help. We hope you’ll see us as a trusted friend who will offer ideas, feed your creativity and help guide you along the way. In this issue, you’ll find elegant gowns, gorgeous bouquets, stunning reception tables, and tons of ideas for all the little details that make the difference. On page 28, in “Something Blue,” you’ll see how you can enhance an outdoor ceremony with a palette of blue and white, and a touch of the French countryside. Then in “Fun & Festive,” on page 44, there are bright, bold wedding ideas inspired by Mexico. More inspiration comes from our “Real Weddings.” So many themes, so many ways to express them, each in a different venue. Speaking of that, for a comprehensive list of places to have your ceremony and/or reception, see page 60. And, on the last page, in “A Look Back,” you can see how life has changed for couples who were featured in “Real Weddings” this time last year. Plus, our website (nhmagazine.com/bride) has all kinds of additional information and links to local resources. Enjoy this special time, and from everyone here, our very best wishes for a wonderful life together.
