Liz_OReilly_Editorial_DirectorWhen the weather gets warmer, our thoughts turn to love and, more specifically, to weddings. This month’s magazine is all about the preparation for that joyous union. We’ve scoured hundreds of pictures from designers and high street to bring you the pick of the crop of this season’s gorgoues wedding gowns – plus of a few of those that will be featured in next season’s collections too.

Once you’ve said yes to the dress, you’ll want to think about flowers – and what to do if you’re allergic to them! Then there are the issues of hair, beauty and make-up. Our big wedding feature covers these all-important considerations as well as highlighting some of the island’s premier wedding venues.

And, after months of planning, there’s no doubt about it, every bride-to-be deserves to let her hair down on her hen night or bridal shower, so we’ve got some off-the-wall suggestions for those too.

In the travel section, we look at three amazing wedding destinations and give some invaluable tips on what to do while you’re there. And even the kids get in on the act with outfits to suit mini-guests.

Sticking with the theme, our interviewees this month include a wedding planner and a bridal etiquette expert as well as artist Aliya Ahmad who was recognised at the 43rd Annual Bahrain Fine Arts Exhibition and is keen to pass on her knowledge.

Elsewhere in this month’s mag, Behnaz Sanjana addresses the issue of mental health. Problems are all too common amongst women of all ages so we’ve highlighted the telltale signs of some of the most common conditions to look out for and there’s expert advice on treatment which shows there really is light at the end of the tunnel.

There’s our usual round up of news from the world’s of fashion and beauty and lots more besides.
Happy reading!
