WELCOME TO WED
Whether you’re floating through those first heady days of fiancée life or counting down to your “I do,”welcome to a brand-new issue of Wed Magazine. This issue marks our 75th edition in Cornwall – a milestone we’re incredibly proud of. Launched by my now-husband, Brendan, and I back in 2007, it’s been an absolute privilege to be a companion for so many couples as they make their journey to the aisle.

Once the ring has been admired and the champagne savoured, the planning can suddenly feel a little overwhelming. That’s where our Wedding Planning Guide comes in. Inside, you’ll find expert advice from seasoned planners, a clear what-to-do-when timeline and a breakdown of your ceremony options. Your support team is key to lightening the load and keeping the process joyful, and we share our top tips for choosing yours. One of the earliest – and biggest – decisions is choosing your venue, and our Venues Guide brings together some of Cornwall’s dreamiest settings, from seaside sanctuaries and elegant country houses to romance-wrapped rustic barns.

And once you’ve found the one, it’s hard to resist diving straight into the styling. Our styled shoots are instant mood-board magic. Discover the foraged florals and ethereal gowns of Where Nature Leads at Trevenna, the pastel abundance and contemporary silhouettes of A Springtime Reverie at Tredudwell Manor, and the candlelit rustic luxe of Wildly Refined at The Tartan Fox. Add to that the rich textures and effortless modern elegance of Softly Does It at Polmanter Weddings, alongside a glamorous take on rural romance in A Love Story in Light at Stennack Farm. Prepare to lose yourself in exquisite detail at these enchanting venues.

Personalisation is the defining movement in modern weddings, and in All About You we explore inspiring ways to make your day beautifully, unmistakably yours. You’ll see that philosophy brought to life in our Got Wed section, too. From Allie and Eden’s stunning multi-day extravaganza at Boconnoc to Laura and Ed’s handcrafted autumnal wedding at Nancarrow Farm, and Gemma and Adam’s colour-soaked festival celebration at Cornish Tipi Weddings, each couple infused their day with personality, passion and pure joy.
