April/May 2023 |
| |
I can’t believe this is our April/May issue already, time is flying by, and if you’re counting down the days until your wedding, don’t worry, it will be here before you know it!
This is one of my favourite issues as I love seeing the new wedding dress collections be revealed. I got married last year and so I know how stressful finding your dream dress can be. I’m short, curvy and very self-conscious, so I was dreading trying on gowns. I had no idea of what style I wanted, a fishtail made me feel like I couldn’t sit down without bursting out of it and a ballgown swamped me, but luckily my bridal consultant suggested an A-line silhouette, which suited my figure. If you’re looking for your dress and feeling overwhelmed by the amount of choice available, make sure you listen to your consultant. They have years of experience and have helped brides of every shape and size find their dream gown, so they will know what looks good on you even if you don’t yourself.
Lastly, don’t panic if you don’t have that overwhelming this is the one feeling, as I didn’t myself, just trust your gut and go for something that makes you feel beautiful, comfortable and confident. For more inspiration, head over to our fashion pages, which are full of stunning on-trend styles, including ruffled tulle, satin layers, lace and subtle pleats.
If you’ve recently tied the knot or organised a shoot, you can submit it by email or via our website.

Alveston Manor
Alveston Manor is a 16th century manor house situated within five acres of beautiful gardens. The grounds are well maintained with a splash of colour from the flowers and famous Cedar tree where Shakespeare did his first performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Boasting original features throughout, the house has plenty of character and looks charming in photographs. The Manor Bar & Blue Lounge are ideal for guests to relax pre-wedding, along with the Manor Restaurant, which serves delicious meals and breakfasts.
Just a stone’s throw from the town centre of Stratford-upon-Avon, this hidden gem is traditional in décor but has a modern twist with the addition of a leisure centre and spa.
The Cedar Room has beautiful windows facing onto the lawns and can accommodate up to 120 guests for the ceremony and meal and 140 for the evening celebration.
Outdoor ceremonies are held on the lawn in front of the Cedar tree with up to 120 friends and family. Additional seating can be added on the lawn or terrace in the summer months with the option for stretch tents if required.
