Things are looking up, not only because we have a fantastic March issue of Style Herts but also because we have warmer days approaching and a Royal wedding.

This month we went all aristocratic with our themes and have included a three-page wedding spread of gorgeous dresses for the bride and her guests and a look at the most lavish venues the area has to offer.

We spoke to Miss Hertfordshire organiser Sue Waite about what it means today to be a modern beauty queen and found out about Tring's upper class connections for our spotlight on the town.

The spring/summer fashion pages has the trends women will be vying for this season and there's a chance to win a Kodak camera package to snap your special moments.

We speak to cousins Cath Kidston and Kirsty Allsopp about handicrafts for the home.

Celebrity chef Maria Elia has been in working in a consulting role at a Berkhamsted restaurant and she took time out to give us an insight into why she took the role on and her menu plans for it.

Again our travel page, about all things glamorous in Bristol, has been sponsored by Travesse.com and Style Herts readers can get £20 off their first booking when they book through www.travesse.com/stylemag
