Together Journal #29 Digital

We are here! It’s the high season for weddings in the Southern Hemisphere, and it’s glorious to see couples experiencing them as they should be.

The destination wedding on our cover, set in Positano, Italy and shot by Bek Smith, is just the type of moment we love to showcase: the freedom of travelling, modern styling, breathtaking scenery, and that happy lovers’ glow. We hope you love this wedding and the 10 others we have lovingly gathered for you.

We also love partnering with brands that are fostering fashion in weddings. In this issue, we’ve talked to three storied businesses with decades of craftsmanship up their sleeves, but that are continuing to innovate. We talk to Barkers Menswear, as they celebrate 50 years in business, about their rich heritage and plans for the future, while Vinka Design, now a second-generation business, tells of a new phase of celebration and style. Our friends at Cameron Jewellery also have much to celebrate, including their ruby anniversary (40 years) and the passing of the baton to the next generation (read more on page 48).

At Città, head of design Imogen Tunnicliffe takes us through the design philosophy and thoughtful processes behind their beautiful homeware collections. You may even find the perfect wedding gift or something lovely for your own home.

And because we love fashion, we have produced an extra-long editorial (it is the celebration season, after all!), photographed by Si Moore of Bayly & Moore. Not only will you find beautiful bridal gowns and suits that span from couture to pared-back minimal looks, you should also be able to find something to wear as a guest. There’s also lots of inspiration and help with gifting, jewellery, flowers and other choices in regular features like Lovely Things, Wishlist, Objects of Desire and Flora as Art.

Lastly, we took our very own Hawaiian research trip to explore the lesser-known islands of Kaua’i and Maui. We spent time talking to locals and hunting out all the best locations and adventures for elopements, destination weddings and honeymoons.
