With quality editorial a key focus, Wedding Inspirations provides smart, practical advice and information for brides and grooms. There is plenty of visual inspiration too, with beautiful shoots covering the areas of bridal fashion and beauty, reception themes, creative DIY details, cakes, flowers and even honeymoons.

The brand-new Autumn issue, on sale from Monday, 18 March, oozes style and sophistication. The main fashion feature sets the tone, showcasing gorgeous wedding outfits with fiery red accents for him and her. The bridesmaids’ dresses that follow are equally eye-catching and on trend.

Fresh party ideas abound and one will find three irresistible themes: a chic nautical wedding reception (ideal for couples marrying at the coast), a striking Parisian-inspired celebration and a fun, 1950s-style kitchen tea – the latter two both with DIY details. There are fabulous wedding dessert ideas too (a combination of coffee and chocolate – perfect for the approaching season!) and pages of beautiful bridal blooms.

Must-read articles include a season-by-season guide to weddings (finally, autumn and winter are given the credit they’re due!), an expert guide to wedding photography and humorous (and sensible) do’s and don’ts for the night before the wedding. There is also valuable health and beauty advice in the form of articles on superfoods, smart sleep and sweat-free slimming treatments.

Look out for a travel feature on eco-conscious honeymoon destinations – giving back to the planet has never sounded so romantic or appealing.

The autumn issue, priced at R49.95, is available for the first time in Pick ‘n Pay stores nationwide. One will also find copies at CNA, Exclusive Books, PNA and Dis-Chem, as well as selected SPAR supermarkets and independent retailers. Alternatively subscribe and never miss an issue.
