Behind the Scenes in the Cook Islands!

If you read our Bride to Be blog regularly, you'll be well aware that our fashion team have recently returned from a fabulous trip to the Cook Islands where they visited Aitutaki Island and Rarotonga.

They worked like mad shooting some amazing fashion stories for you all, which will be shown in upcoming issues, the first of which features in our next issue on sale November 7th.

Below are just some of the behind the scenes shots the team took during the trip. They also went crazy on Instagram and you can see those shots here.
