Welcome to Winter everyone! It’s now officially the coolest season of the year, and as we roll into June already, I can’t believe we’re almost half way through the year! We love weddings that take advantage of the cooler months, with roaring fires, intimate gatherings and bold wines to enjoy.  Do you have a favourite aspect of this cool season?

Whilst we’re enjoying the end of the week, why not indulge in the Friday Roundup, and make sure you’ve missed none of our fabulous specialty blog posts. Enjoy!
