Anyone who knows me well will tell you that my favourite colour is pink so when I spotted the colour theme at Hayley and Callum’s wedding at Elmore Court in Gloucestershire with its pretty-in-pink bridesmaid’s dresses and the bride’s stunning Jesus Piero gown, I fell in love! Turn to page 35 to read all about it. Also in our glorious gardens feature on page 21 is Woolley Grange located in Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire. How cute is their Walled Garden shown here?

I love these ‘Mr’ and ‘Mrs’ balloons spotted at Hannah and Dec’s wedding at Stonehouse Court Hotel in Gloucestershire revealed on page 28 – congrats, guys! Flower clouds are trending at weddings this year and I love this design using dried flowers seen at Kayleigh and Tom’s wedding at Matara on page 41.
