Seating Your Guests
You have arranged the reception venue, chosen the caterers, selected a menu and picked the cake. The music has been finalised and the flowers will look fantastic. But now comes the tricky part. Seemingly a simple task, creating a seating plan for your guests requires patience and diplomacy.

Becoming Engaged
Were you strolling on a beach, or dining at a favourite restaurant? Perhaps you were at a movie, or enjoying a simple night at home. The question might have been asked during a tender, quiet interlude, or was it so unexpected that it took your breath away?
In Bridal Fashion...
For The Bride
Most girls dream about their wedding day … When you were younger, you probably thought of Cinderella and pictured yourself being whisked away, white steed and all, by a handsome Prince Charming. As a teenager, your hero was more likely to have resembled a rock star than a blond, perfectly featured fairytale prince!
In Bridal Fashion...
Your Wedding Dress
Your wedding? Well, it’s all about the dress of course… every bride knows that, and most grooms suspect it! Seriously though, your wedding day is your day to shine, so why would you want to look anything less than sensational.

Farewell To The Bride and Groom
The party’s over. It’s been a wonderful day, but it’s time for you to go. Farewelling your family and friends as you leave your reception can be an emotional time – so don’t be surprised by a few tears (yours probably and almost certainly your mum’s) and arm yourself with a handful of tissues.
