wedding

Instead of classic posies, pick a beautiful style with a difference to give your flower girls and bridesmaids a modern look. Why not try flowers in a small terracotta pot, a foliage wand or a wreath?

Generations of brides are always looking to their mothers and grandmothers for wedding day memorabilia. Let your father or grandfather have a role by making your something borrowed theirs why not wrap a bow tie around the base of your bouquet?

Do you want something to bring everything together? Consider taking a stencil incorporate it to you stationery, your cake and decorations, it will gather everything into one beautiful theme!

Wear waterproof mascara. Even if you do not usually. Even if you don't like it. You will be grateful you did when you start crying for the tenth time in an hour, trust us

Have a clear vision of what you want from the beginning and dont keep thinking I want that, oh, and that. Stick to the game plan.

Tensions can run high between you and your groom when theres so much work to be done, so plan ahead and make time to spend together without the wedmin getting in the way. Its important to remember that you are in it together.

Act naturally and everything else will fall into place.

Its easy to get bogged down by dreams of perfection but if you are having a good time and all your guests are too, nothing else matters.

Not everyone will exhibit perfect, selfless behaviour: your bridesmaids might refuse the position if they don't like the dress you choose, your friends baby might cry through your vows. Just try to retain a sense of humour and perspective.

Among all the madness, the table plans, the dress fittings, the family feuds, the tensions and tiaras, there is an oasis of clarity at one point during the event the vows. Do not worry about anything else, because when you say those words, the rest seems so insignificant.
