36 43 Jess and Sam incorporated their Scottish and Welsh roots into their wedding at Crug Glâs Country House & Restaurant. Read all about the latest openings and honeymoon destinations for couples post-vows. Verity and Ed hit it off instantly and years later they tied the knot at the King Arthur Hotel. Welcome to our March/April issue! I love this time of year partly because I adore spring weddings but also because of our bridal boutiques feature. It’s one of my favourites to write, and I always get excited seeing the stunning dresses that are available in our lovely region. I got married a few years ago, so I know how stressful finding the perfect dress can be. I had no idea what style I wanted, but my wonderful consultant helped me pick my dream A-line gown. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of choice available, make sure you listen to your consultant. They have years of experience and have helped brides of every shape and size find their dream gown, so they will know what looks good on you even if you don’t yourself. Go to your appointment with a rough idea of what you like, but try to keep an open mind. On paper, it might not be what you want, but it might still be the one. If you’re not sure where to start, check out our fashion section for heaps of inspiration. Happy planning!
