Let’s face it, this year has been nothing short of disastrous – no least for the wedding trade.
From the ever-changing number restrictions and closing of businesses and venues to the postponement and cancellation of the big day bash we’ve looked forward to for so long, 2020 has tested, and continues to test, our patience to the hilt.
But, in a bid to combat the Covid-19 calamities, we have pushed through and achieved one of our biggest motives yet – publishing a full, limited edition glossy magazine in the midst of a global pandemic.
Some call it naive, some call it brave – but all we wanted was to give brides a bit of normality during a time which, for many of them, has seen the collapse of the biggest day of their lives.
So, whether you’re a bride-to-be, a mother-of-the-bride, a friend-of-the-bride, happily married, or a just a disheartened soul searching for some dreamy bridal content – Belle Bridal Autumn/Winter 20 is here to save 2020 – and here’s why you should grab your copy.

The Million Dollar Shoots

If one thing’s for sure this edition, it’s that the shoots will blow your socks off.
We enlisted the creative brains of some of the best wedding suppliers in the industry to pull off some pretty exciting briefs, from gothic-inspired elegance in the regal grandeur of Rudding Park’s chapel, to a blooming masterpiece with painstaking fashion at its core.

And don’t get us started on the details. We pulled no punches in making these shoots a showcase of luxury, with over £1M worth of jaw-dropping jewellery gracing our gorgeous models – think vintage Cartier pieces and crystal-encrusted headpieces.
