ALL ABOUT YOU
From the very first issue of Wed Magazine, way back in 2007, we’ve championed the importance of putting your personalities and loves front and centre of your wedding celebrations. Whether you love street food or ‘70s disco, gin cocktails or jazz music, wildflowers or West End musicals, your wedding day is the ultimate celebration of you and your unique bond as a couple – so throw out the rulebook and fill it with all the things you love!

This issue is filled with colourful and personality-packed ideas for a wedding to remember. Our styled shoots take us from Dearest Darling, which is filled with vibrant retro vibes inspired by film director Wes Anderson, to Let There Be Luxe, which pairs striking shades with industrial touches for a head-turning modern wedding. If you’re sea-loving souls, let Spirit of the Sea inspire an ethereal affair on the Cornish coast, while Wild Hearts captures the irresistible romance of an elopement deep in the Cornish countryside.

If you dream of a small and super-personal wedding, an elopement is the ultimate way of making your day about you and your union. Just the Two of Us is full of expert advice for those considering eloping to a secluded corner of Cornwall, while Edge-of-the-World Elopements features the stories of three couples who have done just that.

Our Got Wed section is also brimming with beautiful celebrations of individuality and love. There’s Christie and Keisha’s relaxed beach wedding at Lusty Glaze, which is full of vibrant blooms and nods to their mutual love of musicals, and Cara and Kieran’s rustic autumnal festivities featuring their favourite food, a memorable first dance and a nod to Kieran’s love of dinosaurs! Then there’s Chloe and Devon who filled their weekend extravaganza with all the things the love, from travel-inspired details to Kraken rum.
