'Time to Shine' sets the tone. Huntsham Court makes a suitably grandiose backdrop for this sparkling showcase of jaw-droppingly beautiful gowns. From screen siren glam to boho beauty, 'Free Spirit' blends ornate dresses with a coolly ethereal look, while one-off heirloom gowns and antique lace evoke visions of timeless beauty in 'A Vintage Love Story'.

The luxe continues in our styling features. 'Love Enchanted' offers chic colour-pop inspiration for a contemporary celebration close to nature, while 'Stardust and Sparkle' offers dazzling, twinkling ideas for a stylish seasonal celebration.

Of course, the day itself promises to be wonderful-beyond-words, but this whole experience - from the proposal to the venue viewings, the gown-buying to the last minute preparations - is one to be savoured. And we'll be there each step of the way.
