Cornwall Wed Magazine

We're feeling the love this issue. From fairytale frocks and picture-perfect country house venues to musings on matrimony and enchanting real weddings, these pages are brimming with romance.

'Wild Beauty' embraces the mood. Captured on the ancient moorland of west Cornwall in the soft September light, this dreamy story showcases a selection of delicate, oh-so romantic gowns, lavished with feather-light lace, wispy tulle and whimsical jewels.

Meanwhile, 'Queen of Flowers' tells a modern fairytale of full skirts, acres of tulle and an abundance of beautiful blooming detail. It was a delight to shoot this story in Tredudwell Manor's derelict greenhouse, which is soon to be transformed into a state of the art venue overlooking a secluded corner of Cornwall.

Find out more about Tredudwell Manor and some of Cornwall's other impossibly romantic country venues in 'A Right Rural Romance.' If these pages entice you to say 'I do' in the country, turn straight to 'Summer of Love', which showcases chic florals, cute-as-a-button attendants and the prettiest inspiration for a rural wedding. And, if you're dreaming of a wedding on the coast, 'Into the Deep' draws on the enchanting setting of a Cornish cove to create a beguiling and beautiful wedding look.

While we're embracing classic romance, we're also celebrating the very modern wedding. Juno & Joy's Sarah Christopher showcases some hot-to-trot alternative bridal wear for bold, fashion-loving brides in 'Rebel Rebel Brides', while 'A Thoroughly Modern Matrimonial' looks at wedding traditions to revere, reject or reinvent.
