From the dreamy coastline to the rolling countryside and the beguiling stretches of moorland in-between, marrying in Devon gives you a head start when it comes to throwing an insanely beautiful wedding. But, in my humble opinion, it's the personal touches that make a wedding unique, memorable and wonderful - something we all desire for our big day. With this in mind, we've filled this issue with personality-packed inspiration galore to help you build the day of your sweetest dreams.

Our feature 'How to Throw a Personality-Packed Wedding' is filled with oodles of creative ideas, from table planning to ceremony styling; 'The Power of Flowers' offers top tips on picking the perfect petals and 'The Hot List' showcases the head-turning trends currently rocking the wedding world.

Our bridal fashion story, 'Love in the Time of Glamour' - much of which was shot on analogue film - is all about statement-making vintage bridal wear for brides seeking a truly unique and extraordinarily beautiful look. These fashions were captured in the atmospheric backdrop of Comma Five Art Space, the former studio of artist Robert Lenkiewicz, on Plymouth's Barbican. As an historic wedding venue is the perfect place to don a vintage gown, we've taken a look at some of Devon's most enchanting settings in 'Bygone Beauty.'

Whatever the season or styling vibe you're going for, we'll have gorgeous imagery to inspire: a riot of eye-popping brights and fun details in 'Fiesta Fever!'; a contemporary rustic affair laced with copper touches for autumn/winter in 'Glam Metal'; a serene scheme of rose quartz, marble and agate in 'Romancing the Stones', and pastoral pretty scenes fresh from a Beatrix Potter tale in 'Love Story.'

Finally, we have the most wonderful selection of real weddings in store for you. Celebrating this gorgeous county in all its glory, these brilliantly individual weddings take us from magical outdoor ceremonies in flower-filled gardens and ancient woodland to loved-up moments deep in the countryside and close to the sea. Dotted with personal touches and inventive ideas, I hope these love stories warm the cockles and inspire the very best - and bespoke - of days.
