Have you seen Rhys and Rosie's fabulous cake from the current issue? Rosie says: "Fresh flowers decorated our semi-naked four-tier wedding cake. The flavours were strawberry and champagne, chocolate, and carrot. It really fit the rustic theme." The big-day bake was created by Gosh Patisserie. Check out www.goshpatisserie.co.uk

I love the idea real wedding bride and groom, Laura and Paul, had to give their guests Penguin books in homage to their proposal story. Laura says: "We spent the 18 months leading up to the wedding collecting them at car boots and charity shops, trying to match titles to people as much as possible."

Find out more about their proposal story and wedding day on p40 of the current issue.
I love this boho chic make-up look from our 'Look of love' feature in the current issue, created by www.emmaolliff.com. Emma says: "A beautiful unstructured look that almost gives the appearance of being make-up free while still looking glam, with hair that could have been thrown together in a couple of minutes. Think just-picked-from-the-meadow flowers and relaxed eclectic venue styling. All of which actually involve a lot of creative genius behind the scenes!”
