Breeze down the aisle feeling your most beautiful courtesy of our pre-wedding skincare, pampering and fitness tips. And set off on the road to married life armed with the wedded wisdom of some happily married couples.

Our bridal fashion story 'The Art of Romance' took us to the captivating climes of artist Naomi Frears' studio in St Ives' historic Porthmeor Studios. Surrounded by Naomi's enchanting paintings and the echoes of the renowned artists who have worked there, it was an inspiring space to shoot a selection of dramatic dresses, which marry layers of sumptuous fabrics with ornate embellishment. Meanwhile, the plush setting of The Alverton in Truro made a suitably glamorous backdrop for Gatsby-inspired fashions, vintage lingerie and oodles of jaw-dropping jewels in 'Putting on the Glitz'.
