As we step into the heart of wedding season, our fabulous May/June issue is sure to get you ready for your upcoming nuptials with plenty of fashion inspo and venue information to help make your wedding planning that bit easier. This issue, we’re delighted to share two beautiful real weddings that perfectly capture the magic of the moment. Grant and Suzi’s black-tie celebration at Braxted Park Estate is the epitome of refined sophistication, where every detail speaks to classic style. Meanwhile, Elif and Owen’s day at Hedingham Castle offers a truly enchanting setting, blending history, atmosphere, and heartfelt moments in one unforgettable celebration. Our stationery feature explores the artistry behind first impressions, proving that every great wedding begins with a beautifully considered invitation. We also turn our attention to one of the most chic trends making a comeback: Lambeth piping - bringing intricate, vintageinspired craftsmanship back into the spotlight on modern wedding cakes. This edition’s styled shoot at Gosfield Hall is a vision of classic bridal romance. With flowers in abundance and a setting that exudes grandeur. And finally, our travel section invites you to dream - perhaps a stylish minimoon in Edinburgh or London, or a more exotic escape to the golden shores of Thailand.
