Get radiant skin and nails for you big day and most importantly lose weight.
Here are the rules to get beautiful and loose those extra pounds to make it just perfect.

Rule number one always eat breakfast, the less you eat the less you weigh is only correct up to a point, eat within the first hour of awaking this maximizes your energy boost early in the day and besides that if you don’t eat your body thinks its starving and produces more fat to keep you alive, you don’t want that do you?

Still want to know how much you should be eating daily and what? It’s best to still to 1700 calories ideally per day, that being said its always a good idea to avoid empty calories such as alcohol that have no nutritional value. Eating, make sure with every meal you are taking some protein such as fish, chicken, skimmed milk, eggs and nuts, these leave you feeling fuller for longer. This doesn’t exclude vegetarians either, Quarn can also be a healthy substitute. Be sure to be having your five a day of fruit and vegetables , dark green and leafy veg is usually the best as its high in fiber, and contains iodine to boost your metabolism, this means your burn more quicker! As for fruit pears and plums are the best way to go and if you fancy something more a grapefruits always good. Make sure to introduce as much fiber into your diet as you can, this will not only help you body and skin but your hair too.

Extra little things that make the difference, sugar and salt, ditch them! Sugar is full of those empty calories we talked about and as for salt, well, you don’t want to be bloated on your big day, it’s also known for encouraging water retention.

A question that is often considered of little significance, is where to seat people at a ceremony. Big mistake. Don’t get this wrong. Here is the golden rule which applied to both civil and church wedding ceremonies. From the rear, the bride’s guests and family are seated to the right and the males to the front. Ok, so that’s the basic. Now, other things that you should consider concerning seating.

Venue, taking a good look before the day is key, get a good idea of how things will be set out and arranged, the seating capacity, then there’s layout, think about accessibility, do you have any guests that will need particular seating and what about view points, any small children that won’t be able to see at the back?

On the subject of children, they can get very bored during a wedding and it should be remembered that children have a very short attention span. Because of this it’s a good idea to ensure that children at your have something to keep them entertained. You could try to make sure you have some children’s party supplies such as games and colouring books to occupy them.

Then where to sit whom. Here’s the general low down, the front rows on either side should be reserved for the according parents and also accordingly, the best man and bridesmaid, in the case of a large amount of bridesmaid also reserve the second row on the brides side. The next row behind that should be the next closest of relatives, grandparents, aunts, uncles and best friends. Leave the back row spare for late comers and ushers. Also seat elderly in more accessible seat and as close to the front as possible, and the same for parents with young children the last thing you want is a hassle as the parents try to make a getaway mid temper tantrum.

And finally, know your guests; don’t put Johnny the milkman next to his ex-wife or her new boyfriend the postman. Think it through.

It’s your wedding and the most important walk of your life lays ahead, the walk that begins the rest of your life. And the rest of your life happens to begin with lots of photos of you in your big white dress. And am I right or am I right, the is the most important decision your having to make, besides saying ‘I do’ that is.

And girls being girls, even the most happily unmarried female upon walking past those bridal dress windows finds herself resisting natural urges to pop the question herself. Once again that little girl inside of you has probably already made a few decisions, the big puffy Cinderella dress or the long elegant curvaceous dress, but shock horror, you’ll be surprised to find so many questions left still to answer, shade, material, train, type of decoration, cut, neckline, hemline, all decisions you’ll need to make before the snap shot and poses come into play.

So where to start. Magazines and shops are always a good port of call, but don’t go rushing to the first frock you see and fall in love at the drop of a hat, there is lots of choice out there and the last thing you want is to later see something you’d have really loved. Try scouring the internet and looking at other wedding pictures what works what doesn’t there’s a lot to consider. Happy shopping.

The idea of having songs as a part of your ceremony is definitely a rarity, however, they are certainly not unheard of and it can be a beautiful addition to a ceremony that is personal to you.

Obviously their addition to a ceremony will lie solely upon the Superintendent Registrars agreement and it is of high importance that should you wish to include songs in your ceremony, you waste no time in discussing the request with your Registrar early on.

In your ceremony it is most likely that your songs will replace the readings or be straight before or straight after. And once you have all the technical stuff sorted you can then move onto the best bit, the fun bit, choosing the tracks.

As for tracks it’s an open playing field with a little common sense. Clearly hymns are to be avoided and as for other tracks it depends entirely upon the Registrar, as certain tracks such as Robbie Williams Angles have on occasion been disallowed simply because of the title and others have been declined based upon slight lyrics, however provided that your Registrar isn’t a music wiz and doesn’t want to see lyrics your pretty safe just choose wisely. But once you have the best of the best, you’ve forgot the rest and you have your favourite it’s a good idea to get the go ahead and final green light from the Registrar’s Office.

Beautifully, lovingly made, a flavour to die for, and a multi tiered masterpiece, the wedding cake is often the centre-piece of the day and the grand finale to the reception, that photo moment, cutting the cake.

There are a massive number of options available when it comes down to wedding cakes, for any new bride and groom. Wedding fairs and bridal magazines are a good place to start, and prepare to be overwhelmed by the range available.

Unless you know exactly what you’re looking for it’s very easy to become an immense struggle to see that glimmering light at the end of the cake tunnel, but take it steady and don’t let the first cake maker you meet talk you into a double decadent chocolate fiesta, take it slow think about it, there’s lots to take into account, besides you don’t want to run out of cake!

But do think carefully with streams full of information out there it’s important that you narrow down what you’re looking for, from style to size, flavour to colour, not forgetting where to get one and how and when best to serve it. The last thing you want is a disastrous end to a beautiful day.

The wedding transport is one of the most important factors to consider in a wedding. After all it’s no good having everything else perfectly planned only to turn out to be a terrible disaster arriving there in the first place. Key point always to consider, for any couple making decisions for the big day.

The Journey route, its best to have the route carefully planned and considered, thinking about the road itself, surface, any low bridges and backstreets. This needs to be as easily navigable as possibly if you hope for you and your guests to have a hassle less journey and arrival. You must also check the obvious traffic, congestion and busiest times.

Travellers will know by now the ways of the road, you all have one of those friends that travels three times the distance to work as you yet gets home in half the time, don’t forget to think about the journey length and time. To test drives, dry runs some time before and making sure it’s the correct time of day, and correct day at that! Take into allowance extra factors that could affect the day, a football match or a summer fair along the route on that day? These things are easily neglected.

Finally, cost. Know your budget and stick to it. You can achieve classy without instantaneous death to your wallet. You’d be surprised but a manageable, affordable
Vintage car will just as easily impress your guests as flashing your cash will.

In the list of important things to do, you’ve got check one and check two, you’ve set the date and arranged for the wedding planner or if not decided against one, now comes the third element upon the apparently infinite list of things to do, deciding how you would like to style your wedding and more importantly the colour scheme.

The colour scheme may seem trivial in some respects but in every respect the theme and colours will radiate from every part of the day from the simple things like the stationary and favours to the more important and intimate things like the outfits. Having chosen your colours and theme, live will become much easier further down the line when choosing dresses, napkins and even the reception, and the last thing you need is to find on the day when it all comes together it’s all a big miss-match!

The majority tend to take the traditional route, the beautiful white wedding that every little girl dreams of, with many allowing the accompaniment of a pastel colour to beautifully support the white gown, or even a rich red or purple or blue depending upon the time of year. For others more open eyed, varieties of other themes could help influence the day from the luxuries of the Victorian age to the Orient or Art Deco.

It’s important to get this right because a theme and colour set the tone of the day and will leave a lasting impression for years to come, when reflecting in nostalgia. Most importantly it can be personal to you, reflect your relationship, personality your interests, loves or hobbies and can cast an individual and outstanding impression towards your guests. On a whole, a intelligently chosen colour and theme can lead to a happy well organised and co-ordinated day, reflecting the hard work and commitment truly put into your special day and your pending future.

They say that a picture tells a thousand words, and a photograph can ooze the memories of the beginning a lifetimes worth of love. After planning the perfect day, the day of your life, the day when you become the happiest person alive, you will never want to forget it, so, forgetting the importance of the photos would be a lifelong mistake.

Photography creates many points of interest to think about and number one is the photographer. The obvious being cost and ability, are often key but, does he have a portfolio that you can see? Do you want a certain style or presentation?

Some couples are open to using an enthusiastic family member with a good eye and passion for the job, yet others want the best their many can buy, the cheapest pro available. Some couple like things done traditional, a dark room and hard copy photos presented in a beautifully bound album, whilst others digitally styled images available on disc. Digital pictures have their bonuses because you can easily use CD duplication software to make copies to give to friends and family, this works out much cheaper than getting individual photo prints.

But, regardless of whether you want to kick it old school or bust some new moves, it’s important that the photography is right for you. So, sit down take some time and look at the pros and cons of the way you want to go, in years to come you’ll not regret it.

Unlike a church ceremony a civil ceremony can be hosted at many different venues, with massive possibilities allowing you and your partner to choose the perfect place for you and your very special day. There are masses of factors that you should consider before making your final choice on a venue, and things you may wish to comprehend that may be particular to you and your wants and needs. Some things to consider are.

The distance. How far away is the venue from where your getting ready and spending the night ? If you’re not getting married right next to or in the Hotel that you are staying in you must think about travel, bearing in mind that the longer the distance away the longer you have to wait, resulting in an increase in nerve and creases themselves. Half an hour is an expectable distance but don’t forget to think about traffic and congestion. The last thing you want is to be late on your special day.

Think about how easy it is to find the venue, you may know where it is but will your guests be able to find it? Is it sign posted? A map may be suggestible if it is in a inconvenient location. But this is an important factor, it’s now good walking down the Aisle all alone cause no one could find it. And on top of this how is the parking? Its easy to forget to check that there are sufficient parking facilities for all your guests.

Seating capacity, it’s always good to have in mind the approximate amount of people you expect to attend the wedding, you don’t need the hassle of worrying about lack of seating space as the guest pile in. Its recommendable that you over estimate for seating by about 10%, it’s better to be safe.

The state of the building and the grounds. This is the most important day of your life, the last thing you want people thinking about is the shabby uncared for state of the building, cracked windows, flaky paintwork. The bride should be the one drawing the attention today ! As for the grounds the same applies, jus think about the amount of photos taken on the grounds outside. First impressions count and last !

Check out the music system, venues may claim to have a top of the range surround sound CD player but could end up rolling out a decades old portable player. It doesn’t take long to check and the little details will matter.

Finally, the cost. Some venues will ask for no payment especially if you are holding the reception there afterwards, it’s best to know from the off if you will have a charge for the use of their facilities and services.

Your getting married, the bells will chime and confetti will fly. This is what you’ve waited for, all that time spent searching for that special flare, the spark, that infamous puzzle piece falling into place, your one, your only, the one that knows how you like your eggs, where you like to buy your books and what songs make you want to get up and dance and knows that dancing somewhat resembles that of Ricky Gervais. That someone that is so perfect for you and that you share something with that is unlike anything or anyone else. And it is this individual connection that leads people to write their own vows and say what exactly the great love that they have means to ‘them’.

Sometimes fear makes people stick to the Status Quo, particularly if you lack a particular poetic or J.K.Rowling-esque way with words. But fear not, there are some suggestions that are a fail safe for beautiful and original vows.

To start, your vows must be romantic, evocative writing is always the best writing that has meaning and brings feelings and memories rushing to the surface, like moth to flame, this especially for the comics and class clowns out there doesn’t mean you have it all wrapped up though, your vows must ooze profundity , ‘I promise to always put the cap back on the tooth paste and make his eggs sunny side up’ hardly screams ‘forever and always’ like ‘I promise to love your heart, soul and mind as mine till my dying day.’ Love, honour, cherish and adore, are always a great way to go upon initiating your Shakespearian masterpiece. Decide what you want your vows to convey,what feelings you want and best some up your relationship, think about key words that provoke this kind of a feeling and jot them down, even taking inspiration from films, songs, books or poetry can be a help. All that’s left is for you to put pen to paper and let the magic from your heart and head combine into a life changing piece that you truly can love, honour and cherish forever.
