We might be hotfooting it towards winter - but that doesn't mean we're going to curl up and wallow in subdued shades here at wed. Quite the opposite. This issue, we revel in opulence, in luxe layers of lace, extravagant hair and the chic new shapes of the season. As for colour, prepare to be positively drenched in the stuff as we cast the zestiest of hues, the richest jewel tones and the boldest of brilliant details your way.
'True Romance' conjures up visions of timeless grandeur with a swoonsome selection of heart-stopping gowns, while 'Billboard Beauty' showcases the hippest styles currently strutting the wedding scene. Throw in some gorgeously girlie bridesmaid looks and razor-sharp grooms wear - and you have yourself one fabulous fix of fashion inspiration.
The small and luxurious celebration is currently rocking the wedding world, and we've nosed around Cornwall's most intimate venues for locking lips and living it up. We also hail the rise of the restaurant reception by showcasing some of the county's lip-smacking lovelies for toasting your union in style.
Prepare for budget ideas aplenty should your pennies be feeling the pinch and a fun quiz to make your cake quandary that bit easier. And ladies, we have evidence of a remarkable new breed of groom who actually wants to get stuck into the wedding planning - I kid you not. Meet these magnificent men on p.64.
We're a small, independent team here at wed on a mission to bring you the freshest ideas on the wedding block. We hope you like it.
