This is always one of my favourite issues of the year to put together. I adore summer and everything that comes with it, from Sunday morning yoga sessions on the beach (I’m lucky enough to live within walking distance of the coast) to enjoying the long balmy evenings having drinks with friends at the many al fresco restaurants and bars near me. For those of you putting the finishing touches to a late-summer celebration, take inspiration from our waterside wedding venues in this issue, and also from the local real-life wedding couples and team of talented regional suppliers who collaborated on our free-spirited, whimsical-themed styled shoot. There’s also all the latest wed-day news, exclusive offers, fashion, beauty and hot honeymoon ideas. Until the next issue...
