March is weddings month and we are going all-out to embrace it. Our big weddings feature has the latest in bridal trends from the spring 2018 shows; there’s also a great selection for the more mature bride. And if you’re that quirky girl who wants something a bit different for her big day, don’t despair; we’ve got you covered too.
Back by popular demand is Fernanda’s wedding countdown calendar and, if, like interviewee Archana, you’re celebrating your wedding here on the island, make sure to check-out our selection of some of the very best venues.
Our interview section this month features high-flying engineer Hend Alawadhi, who defied her family to pursue her love of aviation and now inspires other young girls to go after their dreams. We also chatted to designer Ines Kharrat to learn about the gorgeous handmade fabrics she uses in her creations. And Behnaz caught up with Enas Al Fardan who’s leading an anti-bullying campaign, a cause we’re very happy to support.
While the wedding theme runs throughout the magazine with fashion and beauty tips and even a traditional Bahraini celebration dish in Chef’s Special, news of a women-only island, due to open in Finland this summer, inspired me to search out some other girly holidays for our travel section. Not particularly romantic, but possibly just the thing for a great hen weekend. I certainly fancy a surf and yoga break.
There’s a definite taste of spring in the air and its evident in our homes pages with splashes of colour to give your spaces a new lease of life. We’ve also got news of the great Interiors Expo where you can find designer goodies at great prices.
There’s the regular round-up of news from the worlds of fashion and beauty as well as info on what’s coming up in the Kingdom this month – I’m particularly excited about Spring of Culture.
And we’re still working on Woman This Month’s new-look website where you’ll find regular competitions, news updates and more. Have a look and let me know what you think either on social media or write to [email protected]
