An easy breezy vibe carries through many of this issue's silken pages. In 'Winter Seas', you'll find dreamy inspiration for a wedding on the Devon coast, blending soft blues and shoreline finds. In 'Indian Summer', we warm things up with golden shades, lush florals and henna-inspired details for an exotic late summer vibe. And in 'Dream Weaver', laidback bohemia receives a luxe, modern twist in the sublime setting of Bridwell Park. This styled shoot sets the mood for the upcoming 'Boho and Retro Wedding Festival' presented by Blue Fizz Events at Bridwell Park on 29th and 30th April. Wed is a proud media partner of the event and we look forward to meeting lots of you there!
