Got a thing for bling? Or a fancy for footwear? Don't miss our showcase of the hottest accessories and shoes in Devon. Plus you'll find the county's most fashion-forward bridesmaids' frocks in 'Maid Up.' Not forgetting the chaps, 'Suits You, Sir' looks at the sharpest looks for the modern groom, from dapper formalwear to contemporary cool.

Then there's the other 'stuff'. There are no bounds to what you can achieve where it comes to reception decor at the modern wedding. Whether you have a passion for the vintage or the cutting-edge, the country or the coast, all things gothic or all things glam, it's all about dressing your day with a vibe that shouts 'you.' And we have inspiration galore thanks to our jaw-droppingly beautiful styled shoots. There's dreamy decor in shades of copper, green and white at the Deer Park and Miami cool on the coast; there's ethereal dreaminess on the shores of south Devon and achingly modern chic in the glorious setting of Pynes House. Prepare to find your perfect party scene.

Continuing the
theme, in 'The Bold and the Beautiful', we explore the importance of
celebrating who you are - as individuals and a couple - on your wedding day.
And in 'Got Wed', we meet six couples who did just that, allowing their personalities
to shine through in a whole host of ways, from the wedding wear and decor to the
food and entertainment. So be bold, be brave - and enjoy the very best of days!
