Time is flying by, and if you’re counting down the days until your wedding, don’t worry, it will be here before you know it. I love writing this issue partly because I adore spring weddings but also due to our bridal boutiques feature. It’s one of my favourites to write, and I always get excited seeing the stunning dresses that are available in our lovely region. I got married last year, so I know how stressful finding the perfect dress can be. I had no idea of what style I wanted, a fishtail made me feel like I couldn’t sit down without bursting out of it and a ballgown swamped me, but luckily my bridal consultant suggested an A-line silhouette, which turned out to be perfect. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of choice available, make sure you listen to your consultant. They have years of experience and have helped brides of every shape and size find their dream gown, so they will know what looks good on you even if you don’t yourself.
Go to your appointment with a rough idea of what you like. If you haven’t decided on a silhouette, then focus on smaller elements, such as lace, tulle or sleeves, as this will help your consultant find the right dress.
Try to keep an open mind; my dress had three-quarter-length sleeves, a detailed bodice, a plunging neckline and lots of lace, which on paper was everything I didn’t want, but it turned out to be perfect.
Lastly, don’t panic if you don’t have that overwhelming this is the one feeling, as I didn’t myself, just trust your gut and go for something that makes you feel beautiful, comfortable and confident – good luck!
If you’ve recently tied the knot or organised a styled shoot, submit it at melissa.cullen@county.wedding or via our website.

Tall John's Weddings
Tall John’s Weddings is a charming wedding venue in Brecon situated within acres of exquisite grounds with mature trees and breathtaking views across the valley. The gardens at Tall John’s House are the brainchild of Willow Cracroft, who transformed it from an overgrown and neglected space into an amazing garden with features such as a rill, rose arbour, silver birch circle and a splendid display of flowers, shrubs, fruits and vegetables.
The restored Welsh barn is available for weddings and looks across the Black Mountains with an enchanting courtyard and a wooden gazebo that can be decorated with flowers and covered in Perspex if the weather is unkind. Inside are electric points, underfloor heating, insulation, hard floors and a catering area.
The split-level Granary, with its canopied beams and light-stone floor, can accommodate 80 loved ones downstairs, but there is space in the gallery above for extra friends and family.
Those wanting to enjoy the great outdoors can tie the knot anywhere in the gardens or underneath the wooden gazebo.
