Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - July/August 2020 (Issue 26)

6 T he current lockdown restrictions are lifting, with many shops including bridal boutiques able to open their doors once more. I’ve been hearing positive ways in which owners of bridal stores are welcoming brides-to-be and their bridal party. Next will be the reopening of restaurants and hotels, prompting many of us to book a staycation this summer. Devon and Cornwall are ideal for this, with their many beauty spots a must-see for visitors planning a trip to both regions, including couples visiting on a minimoon or honeymoon. This issue, we visited chic Cornish hotel The Idle Rocks in St Mawes to reveal all you need to know for a honeymoon at the property (page 86). Along with Insta-worthy bridal fashion, big-day beauty and expert tips and tricks, this issue is a must-read. For those of you who have postponed your wedding until later in the year or even next year, I’ll see you next issue. Until then...
