The Wedding Edition Got Me Through

How I avoided becoming Bridezilla

I’ve got three more months to wait until June 21st, 2025 it’s going to be an unconventional mid summer wedding.

My partner and I didn't want our plans to take over, we didn't want to bore everyone talking about nothing else and the most important thing for us we didn't want our plans to run away with us and our budget which wasn't massive.

Throughout the planning and excitement for my friends and family I found an unlikely digital friend and companion who when everyone got sick of my constant “what do you think about this” and “where do we go for that?” The expert wedding curators, individuals like Bronte King and Scott Dunn who have years of wedding planning experience for every kind of bride and every kind of vision.

I couldn’t believe it. This is not just a magazine with well researched content and articles. The wedding edition has everything you need from where to shop, how to budget, protocol and tradition, where to honeymoon, and online community who have helped our big day come together.

I don’t have help from a wedding planner. Our wedding is a DIY wedding planning event. The wedding edition is my wedding planner. I’ve had so many helpful tips from hair stylists to invitations, to alternative vintage and secondhand wedding dress suppliers and dressmakers for alterations. I ended up customising and retailoring an old wedding dress into something new and totally unique with a suggestion and introduction, great help of The Wedding Edition.

The Wedding Edition also host live events in London and around the UK where you get to meet industry experts in person. I was lucky enough to go to one at Clivedon House in Berkshire last year. The flowers were done by Fiona Fleur absolutely stunning and then we were treated to a talk about Rosalyn Wikeley’s transformational honeymoon trip and an interview with an expert from boutique honeymoon hotel group Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Here I tasted English sparkling wine Nyetimber and saw exquisite place settings created from Maison Margeaux’s tableware.

The wedding Edition has taken me outside my own vision, shown me so many different ways to do things.

My wedding an outdoor party in a wood, midsummer night won’t be as fancy certainly as the luncheon at Clivedon where the luncheon was as gay as the travel talks shared. I’ve got the Smythson luggage tag in the goodie bag on my suitcase ready to go to except we are not booked into a Mr. And Mrs. Smith escape. We’ve got an equally incredible AirBnb.

My point, the Wedding Edition may take you to the moon and back and show you things way outside the realm of possibility for your wedding. Who can afford a wedding breakfast at Clivedon House, come on, but what they do give in spades is ideas, vision and real people’s own versions of special for them.

Thanks The Wedding Edition. The team has helped me put together my dream day and all within budget.
