Spring has finally sprung, and that means it’ s time for issue two of Wed IN Kent.
Spring is all about fresh starts, and that’ s exactly what 67 fantastic wedding suppliers are celebrating after being awarded accolades in the 2026 Kent Wedding Awards. With 31 winners and 36 highly commended finalists, this year’ s talent was phenomenal, as was the awards themselves( and the fantastic after party!)
In this issue we also delve into why more couples are opting to extend their wedding days to last whole weekends or even weeks – surely the more days of cake and Champagne celebrations the better?!
There’ s some gorgeous styled shoots, stunning outfit inspiration, top advice from experts, beautiful venues, aesthetic inspo, stylish photography and more. No matter what stage of wedding planning you’ re in, you’ re sure to find something in this issue to help and inspire you.
Enjoy the planning journey, and for a daily dose of wedmin help, you can find us at wedinkent. co. uk
