TIME TO SHINE
A carnival of colour, high glamour, delectable cakes, heavenly honeymoons and beyond beautiful weddings - have we got a decadent treat of an issue in store for you!
On a rather chilly day in November, we headed deep into the wildly beautiful climes of Dartmoor to shoot our bridal fashion special 'Enchanted'. The lavish setting of Bovey Castle was the perfect backdrop for the showcase of sumptuous designer gowns.
Tucked away on the dramatic coastline of North Devon, Tunnels Beaches proved an extraordinary setting for our bridal and bridesmaid fashion special, 'Bohemian Rhapsody', a gorgeous shoot bursting with colour, jewel-toned bridesmaid frocks and flowing chiffon gowns. It was a real treat having this stunning coastal venue to ourselves for the day.
Read all about this sublime setting in our seaside venues feature 'In Deep', which offers a peek inside some of Devon's dreamiest coastal locations to tie the knot.
One of my highlights of creating this issue was undoubtedly hitting the road with my fiance Brendan to sample some of Devon's most extraordinary honeymoon settings. From the art deco splendour of Burgh Island Hotel to a cosy candlelit yurt, the experience was relaxing, romantic - and provided us with more than a little food for thought for our own honeymoon!
The dreaminess continues in 'The Sweet Life'. Captured in the achingly beautiful setting of Combe House Hotel, this exquisite selection of couture cakes provides mouth-watering inspiration for planning the styling and centrepiece of your own feast.
Add a bridesmaid special, dapper grooms wear and inspiring real weddings into the mix - and you have one epic issue. I suggest you escape from the winter chill and curl up with this fabulous fix of wedding inspiration - it's just the ticket for warming the cockles!
