West Weddings autumn 2012 is nearly here!

The autumn issue of West Weddings is being sent to press as I type. And what a treat we have in store for you.

In our gowns section, we look at local shops A Class and Allison Jayne as well as previewing the latest dresses from Pronovias' White One diffusion line and Madeline Isaac-James. We're inspired by on-the-move honeymoons, birthstone engagement rings and the latest beauty products.

The grooms aren't forgotten with a feature in suit fitting plus tips on how to have a memorable - but not messy - stag night.

There is also our beautiful Great Gatsby-inspired photoshoot at Old Down Manor - 8 pages of gorgeous photography by David Brewin that is sure to whet your wedding appetite.

West Weddings autumn 2012 will be available from Friday 17th August at our usual stockists and is completely free. Happy reading!

Spring West Weddings is now out!

It may be grey outside but spring is definitely on the way. And with this in mind, the spring edition of West Weddings is full of gorgeous articles and features inspired by sunshine, macaroons, flowers and other such lovely things.

Our real weddings features ceremonies in Gloucestershire, Somerset and Bristol; we take a look  at new gowns from Ian Stuart, Mark Lesley, Essense, Kate Sherford and Justin Alexander; we look at cufflinks for men; and Sharon Diamond gives us her take on this season's trends.

Our cover shoot took place at The Grange in Winterbourne, which was a beautiful setting for our fab frocks from new bridal shop Allison Jayne and gorgeous groom's attire from Anne Harding.

You can pick up West Weddings for free in a number of places across the South West, as well as being able to access it online at www.west-weddings.co.uk. Happy reading!
