It’s difficult to decide on which wedding dress you want to wear for the big day. There are so many different styles but you need to find one that completely suits you and the wedding that you want.
A 50s style wedding dress can make a stunning alternative to the more traditional styles. These dresses are really flattering and are also really pretty.

It’s important that you choose a wedding dress that suits your figure as well as your personality and you should always choose something that you feel comfortable but gorgeous in. That way, you will be setting the right tone for your wedding day.

There are lots of people involved in your wedding. Everyone has their own role, and lots of people are there to help you.

Organising a wedding can be stressful and there is so much to sort out. But don’t let it get on top of you, because you could let others help. For example, you could get someone to send your wedding invites out for you. Often best men or the bridesmaids can help with this.

There are other things that you can get help with too and having people doing some of the jobs for you can make all the difference.

Getting married is really exciting, but you must make sure that you plan your wedding well in advance so that you have a stress free day.

There is so much to organise; dress, venue, balloons, food, disco, entertainment, ushers, bridesmaids, cake, table plan, wedding ceremony, vows, speeches, outfits, cars, flowers, photographer, drinks, music, accommodation, honeymoon, thank you presents, wedding invites, thank you cards, guest books, make up, hair, suits, wedding favours, RSVP cards.

The list is endless. And you need to make sure you sort all of these things out well in advance so that your day runs as smoothly as possible.

It’s important that you let your guests know when your wedding will be as soon as possible.

Even though you might not be planning a huge wedding day, you still need to give plenty of notice so that your guests can ensure that they are free on your special day.

It is at around this time of year that people start to book holidays, so you will want to avoid them booking their holiday on your special wedding date.

Ensure that you give your guests plenty of notice so that you can enjoy your wedding day with all of your friends and family.

It’s very easy to become a Bridezilla. But this is something that must be avoided at all costs. If you become a Bridezilla, you could be making more trouble for yourself than you ever expected.

By being demanding, controlling and a general nightmare, you might find that you start having arguments and falling out with those closest to you, when really, this should be the happiest time of your life.

You need to stay calm, keep things in perspective and stay organised if you want to get your wedding organised effectively.

No one wants a Bridezilla. And by being one, you might ruin the most exciting time of your life. So keep the temper at bay and enjoy organising your wedding.

The wintry weather this year has caused havoc once again; have no lessons be learnt since last year!?

But some couples have refused to let the snow and ice affect their big day. After months or even years of preparations, some couples have decided that the white stuff is not going to interfere with their wedding plans.

Couples all over the country battled their way through the winter weather to get to the church on time and although some couples had fewer guests and perhaps the odd bunch of flowers missing, they battled on to say their vows.

Winter weather gets in the way of a lot of things but one thing it can’t get in the way of is love; and a couple’s determination to get married.

There’s something about this festive period that gets people in a romantic mood. Over Christmas and New Year, the number of engagement announcements suddenly shoots up as men (and women) up and down the country start to pop the question. So is it your turn this year?

Well you’ll just have to wait and see. But if you do find him down on one knee, then just make the most of the moment. This will only happen once(hopefully) so you need to make the most of it. Don’t dash off to update your Facebook status or get your phone out to start Tweeting; just enjoy the engagement – there’s plenty of time to flash your sparkler at a later date.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to wedding lists. Some people think that they are a good idea because it means that people know exactly what to get you, while others think that it’s just a bit cheeky to demand presents.

While a wedding list will ensure that you don’t get the same gift 20 times over and it will also guarantee that you won’t have to put up with a horrible dinner service from your tasteless uncle, it also forces people into buying a gift and spending money (when they may have already forked out just to be at your big day).

Strong arguments for both sides; what do you think?

Getting married isn’t all about splashing the cash. In fact, some couples would argue that so long as they are both there, it doesn’t matter where or how they get married.

But there is a balance between the two options of big white wedding and basic registry office; but it does require a lot of planning and careful budgeting.

Some people manage to organise a beautiful wedding with all of their close friends and family at the fraction of the cost of bigger weddings. Just plan ahead and carefully make your decisions to have the most perfect wedding that you will both enjoy.

Unless you can afford to have everyone one you know, or you only have one friend, this decision can be one of the hradest to make.  If you’ve been to University you probably have a huge crowd of friends and choosing one that is going to be your right hand lady for the day, without upsetting everyone else is hard.

I’d been bridemais 5 times by the time it was my turn to get married and the normal thing to do would have been to return the favour, but I didn;t really want that many.

So, I stuck to my guns - chose the friend that I’d known the longest and had more or less grown up with and then had little ones.

I asked those that felt they’d been left out to be involved in other ways…one helped me to organise my Hen party as my bridesmaid lived away and didn’t really know any of my local friends.  Another did a reading in the church ceremony for me and others just made sure I had a cracking day!
