LOVE IN COLOUR

This issue is a celebration of colour in all its vibrant glory - and Love in Bloom sets the mood with its carnival of British-grown blooms. From the striking stems to the showstopping cake, the shoot not only showcases the glorious impact of a colourful palette, but the captivating beauty of British flowers.

Nature’s Best follows suit, taking us to the idyllic setting of Wooladon Estate, where a rainbow of bright colours meets adorable animals and beautiful florals, while In the Pink celebrates the ever-popular hue at the gorgeous Brickhouse Vineyard. Then there’s Love and Light, a modern take on rustic barn styling with pops of bright colour at the Tithe Barn at Symondsbury Estate.

For a splash of colour to wear forever, choose a vibrant gemstone for your engagement or wedding ring. From sapphires in shades of pink and yellow to coloured diamonds, let Ring Tones inspire wedding jewellery rich in symbolism and vibrance.

A celebration of the personalities and loves of each couple are foremost in our real weddings. We love Jess and Joe’s joy-filled May Day festivities at Kingston Estate, which saw colourful floral arrangements styled with glitterballs. Then there’s Charlotte and Lewis, who chose sunshine yellow and fresh greens for their Italian-themed celebrations in the Devon countryside. From Sean and Neil’s meaningful choice of first dance to Yasmin and Sam’s decision to marry in their special place: Dartmoor, the love story of each couple is woven through each wedding in the most wonderful way.
