Pastels are a key theme and readers will be able to find these seductive sorbet shades in everything from cakes and flowers to beauty products, bridal accessories and decor. There are two reception themes (with ideas worth stealing for any special occasion): a DIY bridesmaids’ lunch and a striking, contemporary wedding with natural leanings in yellow, mint and gold – this season’s hottest colour combination.
Other highlights include a trendsetting fashion feature with fresh outfit options for brides and grooms; a comprehensive wedding dress guide; fantastic floral advice; chic wedding dessert ideas; gift suggestions for all tastes; and thrilling adventure honeymoon destinations.
There are real weddings to admire, beautiful shoots to inspire and, as befitting a magazine with a strong editorial focus, plenty of smart, practical advice too. Look out in particular for sanity-saving tips for brides feelings burdened by the wedding planning process and a six-month beauty countdown.
