10 W elcome to the July/August issue of Your South Wales Wedding . We understand that planning your big day can be stressful; there’s so much pressure to find the perfect colour scheme, venue, dress – the list is endless. To help, we’ve put together a jam-packed issue that’s bursting with inspiration. If you’re still in the early stages of planning your nuptials and don’t have a venue yet, fear not – on page 21 we showcase regional beauties in Pembrokeshire and Swansea, and on page 29 we’ve picked our favourite glorious gardens in which to wed. Whether you’re having a summer celebration or a winter extravaganza, we’ve got you covered in our seasonal flowers feature on page 77. Here at CWM HQ, we’re all about supporting local businesses and promoting the talented suppliers in South Wales. See local professionals come together in our two fabulous shoots on pages 85 and 93 and the four hand-picked real weddings, starting on page 37.
