So you've got your man. Now the quest begins to find the dreamiest of dresses. As wedding fever grips the world and speculation mounts concerning the design of Kate Middleton's wedding dress, we thought we would have a bit of a dress fest here at Wed.
The Cornwall Spa and Estate, the county's uber chic new hotel, seemed an appropriate setting to shoot our pick of the season's contemporary bridal wear. See the stunning results in 'The New Romantic'. Captured against the evocative backdrop of Pencarrow House, 'Bohemian Beauty' conjures ethereal visions of floaty chiffon, beautiful beading and dreamy headwear for the hip boho bride. And, if you're yet to cross the threshold of a bridal boutique, don't miss our guide to buying your gown on p.30.
Our style special - and obsession with glamorous headwear - continues in 'Head Candy', a showcase of on-trend hairstyles, must-have accessories and make-up for wedding day wow factor. And we are very excited to welcome uber influential wedding blogger Kat Williams of Rock and Roll Bride to Wed this issue. Check out her top tips for a coolly personalised wedding on p.130.
If you're harbouring escapist fantasies of tying the knot in a secluded and beautiful corner of Cornwall, our venues feature 'The Great Escape' offers a sneak peek inside some of the county's hidden boltholes.
And there's more: from flamboyant flowers and tongue-tingling cocktails to utterly gorgeous real weddings, let these pages inspire a very modern matrimonial.
Finally, don't miss the very first Wed Show on Sunday 10 April at The Cornwall Spa and Estate. I look forward to seeing you there!
