Couples currently planning their wedding may be interested to hear about the launch of a new magazine which could give them lots of handy hints and tips.

West Weddings is a glossy publication which is aimed at those tying the knot in Bath, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Bristol, the Bath Chronicle reports.

The bridal bible will be on sale quarterly and is going to be full of ideas and suggestions covering everything from flower arrangements and favours to finding the perfect photographer.

Tanya Gledhill, editor of West Weddings, said that "whether you've just got engaged or are about to walk up the aisle, we've brought you a packed edition with features on all aspects of getting married".

If that wasn't tempting enough, there will be over £4,000 worth of gowns, stationery and jewellery given away.

Wedding fairs are another great source of inspiration for couples and there is currently a week-long event being held at the Telford Shopping Centre.
