Viva España!

Yes, you guessed it, I have been lucky enough to take a trip to Spain’s vibrant capital city this year and it didn’t disappoint! Madrid has always featured high on my travel wish list and thanks to Gran Hotel Inglés, this trip became a reality – read all about it in our honeymoon section.

For those of you not braving the airport crowds this year and vacationing closer to home, our latest issue is packed with staycation ideas, from the stylish Hatton Court hotel in Gloucester that provided the luxurious backdrop for our exclusive styled shoot this issue to the Manor Estate in Wiltshire that was home to Emily and Will and their guests when they held their wedding there.

Check out www.yourgloswilts.wedding and our social channels for fashion, beauty, and wedding styling ideas and we’ve recently created our very own County Wedding Magazines YouTube channel, providing our readers with plenty of wedspiration from venue tours to dream dresses. Catch up on beauty reviews and how-tos from our beauty editor and peek behind the scenes of styled shoots featured in our titles past and present. You can even be a fly on the wall at some real weddings and you’ll also find local supplier interviews packed with tips and tricks.

We’re adding more content all the time, so why not hit SUBSCRIBE so you never miss a thing? It’s your one-stop shop for wedding vid-spiration! Simply head to YouTube and search County Wedding Magazines.

Happy planning and I’ll see you next issue! Claire x
