10 H ere at Your South Wales Wedding , we’ve seen a lot of weddings, from rustic celebrations right through to film-inspired extravaganzas. The basics are the same: Two people who love each other and want to commit, but it’s the personal touches that make the day stand out. To help you personalise your nuptials, we’ve put together a jam-packed issue. We reveal the latest trends in our styling feature on page 63, wow-factor stationery on page 71 and must-see venues, starting on page 21. What’s more, we have four local weddings from page 37 and three regional shoots, all bursting with inspiration, on pages 91, 95 and 99.
