There are certain December traditions that bring a smile to my face – the small joys that remind me of the magic of the season. The advent calendar is one such tradition that never fails to lift my spirits. Unfortunately, I’ve had a bit of a mishap this year and haven’t managed to get myself an advent calendar, nor could I find an advent candle when I usually have one on hand. However, we’re excited to announce that our annual Christmas advent contest will be launching today on Whimsical Wonderland Weddings! To make up for my lack of festive preparation, we’ve been fortunate enough to partner with some fantastic family-owned wedding suppliers who are generously offering a range of amazing goodies over the next 7 days. I’m thrilled to share these surprises with you and can’t wait to see what December has in store.
