Owner Eirlys says: "These padded letters are a fantastic and effective way of giving your decoration the personal touch. These are great for decorating any special occasion but are also lovely just hanging in your home for you to enjoy all the time. You can choose any words you would like. So, these padded letters can be used to make names or whatever message would choose Some other lovely previous ideas have been 'Happily Ever After' and 'All you need is love'.

Sneak peek: behind the scenes of the latest West Weddings photoshoot

One of my favourite things about being the editor of West Weddings is doing the photoshoots. It's always a really fun day when we get a great team of people together to create some beautiful photographs, and our photoshoot for the upcoming autumn edition was no exception.

 

Held at Old Down Manor in South Gloucestershire, and with David J Brewin at the photographic helm, we all had a brilliant time creating a 1920s inspired wedding. The photos from the day will be in the autumn edition of West Weddings, out on 17th August, and we'll also share some other shots on the blog. In the meantime, to whet your appetite, here are a few behind the scenes photos...
