Here at Wed, I'm privy to words-fail-me wonderful weddings every day. And, while the location, the dress and the sheer joy of the day might be stunning beyond words, I often find it's the little details that captivate me most.

WedMagazineDevonissue2015

For it's those finer touches that tell a story. It might be a string of pearls dancing around your neck that you found in your granny's jewellery box; a lace trimming from your mother's bridal gown wrapped around your bouquet; a single flower at the heart of your bouquet that stirs childhood memories of your grandpa's garden. Or it might be a fabulously flamboyant feathered jacket worn over your wedding dress that's so brilliantly and unashamedly you. 

This issue, we celebrate those touches. These pages are spilling with accessories, jewels and bouquets to inspire a so-you statement. Juno and Joy's Sarah Christopher presents a lowdown on the hottest pieces of the moment in 'Accessories All Areas', while 'The Looks of Love' showcases a selection of head-turning looks. So many brides are now seeking that vintage touch for their bridal ensemble; our guide to vintage jewellery, 'Old Romantics,' shows you what to look for, what to ask and how to wear a coveted vintage treasure. And then there's the ultimate bridal accessory: the bouquet; in 'To Have and to Hold', the region's top florists offer their advice on choosing those most precious of petals.

Of course, every bride needs a positively dreamy dress as the canvas for those all-important touches. Our bridal fashion spread 'The Garden of Delights' showcases a gorgeous array of gowns, where glamorous silhouettes meet exquisite embellishment. 'Stargazer' is brimming with starry-eyed looks for a winter wedding, while 'Let it Rain' celebrates sweeping ball gowns and striking silhouettes.

Add the colour-pop delights of 'The Bright Side' and the dreamy vintage glamour of 'Age of Elegance' into the mix - and you have a heady host of styling inspiration for one unforgettable wedding.
