Hi everyone and welcome to our 21st commemorative edition of the Dedicated 2 Weddings Magazine

As we reflect on what’s been a wonderful year for weddings who could forget about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s magical day that captured the imagination of the nation.

That was before the royal wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall which took place not too far from us in Edinburgh making 2011 an unforgettable year.

But the emphasis now shifts towards winter weddings which have undoubtedly increased in popularity in recent years.

The romantic appeal of glistening white snow is something that some brides really just can’t resist and who could blame them?

However, if you’re planning your big day for next year why don’t you pop into our offices at 12-14 Albyn Grove, Aberdeen and meet one of our wedding experts to discuss everything from chair covers and bows, ordering your stationery and favours or just find out how to be featured in our next magazine.

Inside this edition please look out for our bridal gallery where we showcase newly wed North-east brides and Granite City grooms.

We’ve also got some fantastic competitions for you to enter as well providing you with all the information you’ll need to make your special day unforgettable.
