Speaking of which, as our annual style special, this issue is bursting with inspiration for creating a beautifully individual wedding day look. The latest bridal collections gracing the rails of Cornwall's boutiques are so heart-stoppingly dreamy it's enough to make a girl - one wedding magazine editor, at least - to want to get married all over again. We picked out some free-spirited and gorgeously embellished numbers for our bridal fashion story, 'Swept Away', which we shot on a rather blustery day on Lusty Glaze beach. 'Modern Love' is a stunning showcase of fashion-forward frocks, while 'Atop the Cliffs' paints dreamy visions of exquisite, handcrafted gowns amidst some of Cornwall's most dramatic scenery. Beyond a feast of glorious gowns, you'll find hot-to-trot accessories, shoes, bridesmaids' dresses and groomswear to ensure your whole wedding party shines on W-day.

These pages are also packed with ideas for distinctive and dazzling decor. From Miami cool on the coast of north Cornwall to festival vibes in the far west, prepare to find your perfect party scene.

In 'Got Wed', we meet seven couples who channelled the Wed ethos in style. From the wheels to the wedding wear, the music to the menus, these starry-eyed couples threw personality-packed weddings, marking this life-changing moment in the most unforgettable of ways. May their love stories inspire you as you set off on this magical journey towards the aisle!
