HEAVEN IN DEVON
Set in a woodland glade in south Devon, our cover shoot features a wing-like carnival of blooms, ethereal dresses and a beautiful palette of blue and toffee hues inspired by an African bird. Aptly entitled Paradise Found, it sums up the feeling that so many of our featured couples described when they laid their eyes on their dream setting to marry in Devon.

There’s Megan and David, who fell in love with the timeless elegance of Rockbeare Manor; Manasa and Albin, who loved the idea of marrying within touching distance of the shore in Combe Martin, and Verity and James, who threw their colourful celebrations in James’ parents’ lovingly restored garden in south Devon. Each couple found their patch of heaven amidst the county’s diverse and dazzlingly beautiful landscape. Whether you’re drawn to the wilds of the moor, the untamed drama of the coast, rolling meadows or wooded valley, you’ll find an incredibly special setting to marry in this extraordinary county.

A love of the land weaves its way through these pages. The South-west is brimming with talented jewellers who draw inspiration from their surroundings, and we look at wedding and engagement rings reflecting everything from the rugged beauty of Dartmoor to the Devon coastline in Natural Wonders. And, with sustainability and a passion to protect nature being the foremost movement in modern weddings, you’ll find some top tips for minimising the impact of your wedding in Sustainable Style Swaps.

Sunday Love Photo + Film
The beauty of the changing seasons is captured in styled shoot The Call of Autumn, which captures dreamy details and dresses in the golden light at Brickhouse Vineyard, while Winter Warmth celebrates the romance of winter and its rich hues at Hawke Barn, an atmospheric idyll in Devon’s rolling countryside. Also deep within the Devon hills, Deer Farm Tipi Weddings provides a lush canvas for Modern Love, a fresh and industrial-inspired look for a contemporary celebration in the county.
