FOR THE LOVE OF CORNWALL
Welcome to the new issue of Wed Magazine. From dramatic clifftops and wild coastlines to rolling countryside and fragrant flower fields, this issue is a love letter to Cornwall’s breathtaking scenery and the weddings it inspires. The Promise of Spring sets the tone, photographed at Tredudwell Manor on the south coast, where idyllic gardens give way to soaring sea views, showcasing striking bridal fashion and delicate styling amid the season's first blooms.

Cornwall’s natural beauty continues to take centre stage in Beneath the Cornish Sun, a vibrant editorial at Cornish Eco Park in Porthtowan, where Mediterranean-inspired styling meets sustainable luxury. Meanwhile, Lavender Haze transports us to the fragrant fields of Cornish Lavender, where relaxed styling, gorgeous bridalwear and dreamy purple blooms create an effortlessly romantic setting.

In Lay of the Land, discover inspiration for celebrations shaped by Cornwall's clifftops, coastline, woodlands and countryside. Then there’s Tides of Love, a jewellery edit inspired by the sea, from fluid silhouettes and sandcast bands to ocean-hued gemstones.

As we all know, Cornwall's weather can change in an instant, from soft mizzle and glorious sunshine to gale-force winds. Whatever the forecast, Whatever the Weather is packed with practical advice for planning with confidence, while After Dark explores how to make every post-sunset moment magical, from late-night feasting to mesmerising entertainment. These pages also bring you the latest bridal fashion, signature cocktails, stylish alcohol-free serves, charity wedding favours and beautiful table styling ideas.

Our real weddings unfold against some of Cornwall’s most spectacular scenery. Glen and Jake travelled from the US for an utterly enchanting wedding on the north coast, exchanging vows as wind and rain swept across the clifftops before emerging to clearing skies and rainbows. Rosie and James embraced the Cornish countryside with a joyful midsummer wedding at Trevenna, while Tegan and Jordan chose Caerhays' enchanting Beach Meadow for an oceanfront ceremony just moments from the sea. Charlotte and Phil began their day with breakfast on the beach before a beautifully intimate woodland-inspired wedding at The Cornish Place, where rolling fields dotted with historic engine houses provided a breathtaking backdrop.
