I love all things Disney, so when Annalise and Richard's real wedding landed in my inbox, I couldn't wait to feature it.
The couple met at a friend's fancy dress party. "We had a great time and in 2010 we started working together,” says Annalise. “I was running the tills, and Richard was working in the chilled section. He started doing overtime, and I was tasked with showing him the ropes. We clicked and were always making each other laugh.”

The Gower coastline is known for its breathtaking views and charming wedding venues – and it's one of our favourite places here at Your South Wales Wedding. We spoke to dress designer Ania Maria Rózanowska about what inspired her.
She said: "With such an impressive backdrop to work with, we decided to keep the styling soft with loosely styled hair and delicate make-up. The white flowers complemented the modern yet timeless dresses, which come from my studio's Silent Spring Collection. Each one is hand-crafted from natural silks that oat effortlessly in the breeze.”

Autumn is a fabulous time of year to tie the knot, with an abundance of beautiful colours, flowers and styling options to choose from. We spoke to Natalie Doney from Fox Photography Cardiff about what inspired her.
She said: "We wanted to create two different styles. Everyone's imagination went wild, from the flowers right through to the make-up. Both styles looked amazing, and we couldn't be happier with the results."

I adore real bride Sam's dress.
She said: "My dress was from Laura May Bridal in Cardiff. I wanted something that wasn't too formal and that would suit the beach. In the end, I opted for an Enzoani design called Gilly. I adored the A-line style, and I accessorised with a pearl headband and vintage shoes."

These beautiful blooms are featured in Claire and Luke's real wedding on page 37.
Bride Claire said: "The flowers were absolutely incredible! Lucy from Flowers, I do, did an outstanding job. I asked her to incorporate greenery, eucalyptus, texture and soft colours. We originally wanted a large arrangement for our top table, but we later discovered there wasn't enough space. Luckily, Lucy had no problem redesigning it to be hung from the chandeliers instead."

I love these light-up letters featured in Heidi and Marc's real wedding.
Bride Heidi said: "As the big day got closer, I began to worry that we didn't have enough decorations and impulsively hired light-up letters from Written in Lights. In hindsight, I'm so glad we did, as they created a gorgeous backdrop for our photographs."
