The latest edition of Modern Wedding magazine is inspired by enchanting mermaids by the sea... These captivating creatures, who shimmer with every move, are considered beautiful beyond belief and isn't that exactly how a bride wants to be on their wedding day? Our front cover, shot at Maroubra Beach in Sydney, by 35mm Fashion Photography perfectly captures the ethereal nature of a mermaid and the beauty of the blue sea.

You can see our entire mermaid inspired fashion editorial Heart of the Ocean on page 152, featuring gorgeous beach wedding dresses and beach wedding styling. In Kiss By a Rose on page 86 you'll find classic cuts in a quaint country setting.

Looking at all the pretty dresses is exciting, but it can also be totally confusing...so we've put together a little guide to help you find the best neckline for your shape. See Suit Yourself on page 30.

Your wedding theme is another one of those areas that can leave a bride feeling like she's in the deep end! Our eight page theming feature Your Theme Your Way (page 64) goes through the practicalities of planning a wedding both indoors and outdoors as well as styling tips and ideas.

Happy bridal shower! We got together with Vera Wang for Wedgwood to create a gorgeous bridal shower celebration. Styling ideas (not to mention gift ideas) are certainly flowing in this feature!

It wouldn't be Modern Wedding without a DIY feature, and this edition we're looking at ocean inspired DIY decorations and watercolour stationery.

If you love flowers, flowers and more flowers then you'll love our ten page feature of blooming beauty, ideas and pretty pictures!

PLUS every summer edition of Modern Wedding magazine comes with a FREE Destination Weddings magazine to help you plan a wedding away.

Modern Wedding magazine is ON SALE today at all good newsagents, selected Woolworths and Coles + online.
