Ask any wedding practitioner what some of the emerging trends are in the wedding industry and one answer that is bound to crop up is destination weddings. The domain of the well-traveled, cosmopolitan-minded, culturally-sensitive and well-heeled, destination weddings are becoming ever increasingly popular in our part of the world.

The gift of Mother Nature in terms of landscapes makes our region one that offers a myriad of stunning backdrops for weddings. Add to that, exotic cultures, great food, a vibrant hospitality industry and most importantly, friendly and welcoming people, what’s not to love about making the Asia Pacific region your destination of choice for possibly the most important day of your life?

The success of our inaugural issue last year in terms of response from the industry and soon-to-be-married couples alike is testament to our faith in playing a contributing role towards building this segment of the wedding market. As in any publishing venture, we hope that we have succeeded in making this second issue an improvement over the first. We have listened to the constructive criticisms offered by our industry colleagues, evaluated them and taken action. I hope that this is reflected in the little changes that we have made to ensure a better read.

Here’s to a memorable wedding for you and your loved one.
