OOOF I know, what a title, but we actually do still need to talk about this. Recently, I was styling a shoot with a UK size 26 model. Absolutely 10/10 stunner of a babe. The shoot was incredible (quick phone snap preview above!!) and you’ll see the rest of the photos in the magazine soon. BUT LET ME TELL YOU, it was so hard to find designers who actually had size 26 samples available to loan or try on.

M & G Wedding

October 9, 2026

Diana and Sean brought their version of retro Vegas to Preston Court in Kent, mixing casino references and motel room keys with an English country setting. Their supplier brief was “Las Vegas, quirky, Sure Thing Chapel and retro.” Having attended plenty of weddings in their 30s, they knew the familiar sequence of events and wanted to give their guests plenty to get involved in. There would be dancing, candyfloss, a carousel and glamping tents to stumble back to afterwards. “We kept the traditions that meant something to us and felt very relaxed about the rest,” they said. “Our main question throughout planning was always, “Will this make the day more fun or more us?””

Ciara and Joe, who met when they were 11 and began their relationship as each other's prom dates, were married in July. Unhappy with how their wedding photos turned out, they decided to do a portrait session in September and they're so glad they did! "Our wedding was never about having a 'perfect' traditional wedding", they said "but weren't initially happy with how our original wedding photographs came out. We'd put so much thought into the look and atmosphere of our day, but the photographs didn't capture it in the way we'd imagined."

Alissa and Wesley’s wedding planning began when the bride starting looking for her dress. She wanted something witchy, romantic and inspired by nature, steering clear of anything too Halloween-y. Her answer was a sheer black gown, made to order by NRT Fashions and covered in hand-applied beading. The dress then set the direction for the entire day. Its botanical detailing fed into the use of trailing vines, overgrown flowers, old books and flickering candlelight.

Las Vegas weddings are some of our favourites, but its undeniable that a lot of them have the same aesthetic. Rare Hearts Studio wanted to create something with a different edge - a little darker, with nods to their Latino heritage. Their starting point was the Sacred Heart, reworked through a queer Latino lens and layered with lace, devotional imagery, blood red flowers and incredible cakes. The concept gave the team a way to draw upon their cultural background while creating something for couples who feel detached from the standard Vegas look.
