1. PURE JOY  OMG you’re engaged!!! Welcome to, quite possibly, the most exciting time of your life! From the moment you set eyes on that incredible ring (the boy’s done good), you’re thrown into a wonderful world of high-pitched squealing phone calls as you break the news to everyone, loved-up Facebook status updates (FYI, you’re totally allowed to be smug right now), impromptu parties and endless glasses of celebratory champagne. Oh, there is a LOT of champagne. It’s the most perfect love bubble. HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT: Take it all in. The temptation to dive head first into planning your big day is strong, but try and embrace the moment as much as you can before you start getting down to the nitty gritty. You’ll never get…

FASHION Q. I don’t want to wear a traditional dress. What are my other options? Sky, 27 DON: There are so many options out there for brides who don’t fancy a conventional big white dress. Look for simple, elegant crepe gowns, dramatic cowl backs, off-the-shoulder necklines or even bridal separates. Another key thing to look for is nontraditional fabrics – at THEIA we remove the stiff crinolines from our ballgowns which allow for a more modern, flowing silhouette. We also love body-hugging, hand-beaded wedding dresses that ooze Hollywood glamour and flatter everyone. BEAUTY Q. I HATE MY ULTRA-STRAIGHT EYELASHES – HOW CAN I GET THEM LOOKING LOVELY AND DRAMATIC FOR MY W-DAY AND HONEYMOON? KAREN, 34 EMMA: If your lashes are long but don’t have presence, lifting them from the…

LAURA DEMAINE AND DAVID LISTER CELEBRATED THEIR DAY AT THORNBRIDGE HALL, DERBYSHIRE ON 13TH MAY 2017 “When we first started to discuss what we wanted from our wedding, David and I wrote a list of things that we each felt were key components of a good day. Items one and two on both of our lists were plenty of good food and plenty of good wine. Having sampled the quality of the catering at Thornbridge Hall before, we knew that this exclusive private home was the place for us. The look of our day was very classic and elegant – the primary colours were navy, silver and grey with the smallest hints of blush pink. My husband, David, was the creative driving force and I knew I could trust him…

JACQUELINE MACKENZIE RITZ AND CARSON WOODWARD BRICKEY SAID ‘I DO’ AT BRISCOE MANOR, TEXAS ON 1ST AUGUST 2015 “After Carson popped the question, I was lamenting about all the overwhelming choices with my mum and said “I wish I could just show up with everything done!” My mum said “Well, why not?” – and that was the beginning of my surprise wedding. My mum planned our whole day, including choosing the venue – she knew exactly what we’d like. It was rustic yet glamorous, with a limestone chapel and grand ballroom. She also made lots of the details, such as our stationery, a welcome sign, guestbook, the menus and venue backdrops. One thing I was involved with was the dress! I absolutely loved shopping for dresses – there’s nothing better…

Q What is the difference between civil partnership and marriage? A: Apart from the wording and process of the actual ceremonies, the main differences come down to legalities. For example, civil partners do not have the same pension rights as married couples. Visit gov.uk for a detailed guide to the comparisons. Q Can I convert my civil partnership to a marriage? A: Yes – you can visit your local register office for a straightforward conversion or have a ceremony at an approved venue with a registrar. You’ll both need to be present and bring proof of ID and of your civil partnership – you’ll then be issued with a marriage certificate. For more info, visit thegayweddingguide.co.uk Q Can same-sex couples have a church wedding? A: Yes, but only if the…

ALICE ROBERTS AND HANNAH CRAWLEY GOT MARRIED AT SANDHOLE OAK BARN, CHESHIRE ON 27TH JUNE 2016 “Alice and I met in Vietnam, whilst we were both teaching at the British International School in Ho Chi Minh City. We lived there for three years, so we decided to give our wedding a Vietnamese theme. Many of Alice’s family members live in Cheshire and this is a part of the country we particularly love. We wanted a venue where we could hold the ceremony and reception in one place, as well as the option to have an outdoor ceremony if the weather was good. Sandhole ticked all the boxes, as well as being in a beautiful setting overlooking the lake and countryside. It also had plenty of rooms to accommodate our guests…

BRIDE 1 MIAMI ART DEALER KATE MORGAN WORKED A HIGH DRAMA LOOK IN A CUSTOM INBAL DROR DRESS THE DRESS “I was completely charmed by the fact Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had stayed at our wedding venue, Burghley House in Peterborough, so I referred to historical photographs and paintings of Victorian and royal weddings to draw inspiration for our big day and my look. I wanted my wedding dress to make people wonder if it could possibly be a family heirloom. My gown was by Inbal Dror (inbaldror.com), but my mother and I designed the custom add-ons with help from Miami Atelier (miamiatelier.com) and Ever After boutique (everafterbridalboutique.ca). It took four seamstresses, a hundred yards of tulle and lace and nearly two weeks to bring my dream dress to…

The first thing to do is talk openly with your fiancé about the day you want. The main ceremony options are: 1. CHURCH OF ENGLAND You may have to attend a number of Sunday services beforehand. The marriage can be authorised by calling banns on three consecutive Sundays three months before the day, or by obtaining a common licence. Church fees are from £456 in your home parish, with extra costs for choir, organ, etc. In Scotland, banns aren’t necessary, but 15 days’ notice must be given at a register office. 2. ROMAN CATHOLIC Take your baptism and confirmation certificates to your priest at least six months before — if one of you is unbaptised then the priest needs to give permission. You may have to attend marriage preparation talks…

JULIA HOLLAND AND SIMON WALSH HELD THEIR RECEPTION AT THE LARMER TREE GARDENS, WILTSHIRE ON FRIDAY 16TH DECEMBER 2016 “Being a wedding planner, I thought that it would be fairly straightforward finding a venue, but I was wrong! We looked at a few places and I have to admit, I felt quite disheartened. Then we found The Larmer Tree Gardens. We went to look round on a gloriously sunny Sunday morning in August with our parents and we both fell in love with it. Despite it being a beautiful Victorian pleasure garden, it was actually the inside space that we loved. Getting married in December, we knew the whole day would take place inside and the stunning Jubilee Hall, built for the Jubilee of Queen Victoria, and the adjoining Pavilion,…

HANNAH KIDUSHIM AND OLIVER WILSON WED AT PEMBROKE LODGE, RICHMOND PARK ON FRIDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER 2016 “Richmond Park has many wonderful memories attached to it for me. As a child I spent lots of summer days there with my mum, dad, sister and late grandmother, having picnics and riding our bikes. We loved watching the wild deer in the beautiful lush surroundings. Oliver and I then purchased our first home nearby, so it soon became a regular spot for both of us to visit. It seemed so apt to hold our wedding at Pembroke Lodge and in the stunning park itself. For our styling, we wanted to take inspiration from the surroundings and bring the outside in. Our theme was whimsical woodland with muted pastels, creams, nude, pinks, and peaches,…

Match your look to this flawless theme with sparkly accessories, a strong red lip and sleek hair Elegant and chic – that’s how we’d sum up this romantic shoot, styled with beautiful blue hydrangeas, roses and gorgeous metallic touches. “It’s a modern look, but influenced by the iconic designs, glamour and decadence of the Art Deco era,” explains stylist Davina Simone. “We went for glass table décor for a contemporary finish and filled geometric-style terrariums with flowers. Lots of candles added to the romance.” The result is a wedding theme that’s as effortlessly pretty as it is timeless.…
