Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- August/September 2020 (Issue 22)

6 A s I type, the current lockdown restrictions have been lifted, with many bridal businesses opening their doors once more. I’ve been hearing positive ways in which boutique owners are welcoming brides-to-be and their bridal party. Restaurants and hotels have also opened, prompting many of us to book a late-summer staycation. Gloucestershire and Wiltshire are perfect places for this, with their abundance of beauty spots a must-see for couples planning a UK-based minimoon to both regions. This issue, there’s a what-to-pack staycation fashion feature along with Insta-worthy bridal fashion, big-day beauty, romantic real weddings and expert tips and tricks plus lots more. For those of you who have postponed your wedding until later in the year or for 2021, I’ll see you next issue. Until then...
