We're going out this issue. Out into Cornwall's beguiling landscape, which offers a too-beautiful-for-words backdrop for a wedding. From bridal gowns shot on the sandy shores of the Atlantic to eclectic celebrations in secret glades where tipis nestle ancient oaks; from wildly beautiful flowers grown in Cornish meadows to dreamily elegant venues with views across sweeping bays - you'll find it all in these pages. We even explore Tresco, a paradise island a few miles off the Cornish coast, which makes a dream setting for a honeymoon.
Beyond the beauty of this extraordinary place, this issue is brimming with style inspiration. Our first ever fashion story shot entirely on film, 'Love Story' is awash with achingly romantic gowns, from soft silks and ethereal lace to the prettiest jewels and blooms. Captured on the shores of Lusty Glaze Beach, 'Marine Dreams' is packed with '50s cuts and oceanic pearls for a look that smacks of beach chic.
