October/November 2018

 
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a devoted sun-worshipper. Any little patch of sunlight, and I’ll be in it – so it may come as a surprise that I’m actually kinda looking forward to autumn. That’s mainly because I have two weddings to go to! One is in a gorgeous rustic barn in Lancashire; the other is a small laid-back affair in my native Essex. The two settings couldn’t be more different, and it got me thinking about all the wonderful places in which couples can tie the knot. To see our pick of the region’s best venues, turn to page 19.

For any of you lovely readers who are getting married next summer, you’ve probably started thinking about the one. No, not your partner – the dress! Our fabulous fashion editor, Claire Ridley, has pulled together an amazing selection of swoon-worthy gowns on page 77, all taking inspiration from a bygone era. We’re lucky enough to have a host of talented and creative people in the region, so it makes sense that couples are embracing the trend for locally sourced products when it comes to their weddings. Turn to page 65 for our Handmade in Bristol & Somerset feature.

As always, we’ve got our Hot Topic Q&A feature over on page 109, where our local experts answer your burning questions. If you need some w-day advice, don’t hesitate to drop us a line!

Roman Baths & Pump Room

Situated in the heart of Bath’s World Heritage Site, the Roman Baths & Pump Room is one of the most distinctive buildings in the country. The award-winning complex is steeped in history, with its origins dating back 2,000 years.

Forming part of the museum by day, the Great Bath has been meticulously renovated. It’s here at sunrise and sunset that ceremonies take place, overlooked by the beautiful Bath Abbey. Although it’s open-air, vows can still take place in adverse weather, as shelter is provided by the terrace above.
