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.

In Bridal Fashion...

Wedding Fabrics
Do you see yourself sashaying down the aisle in satin, floating in lace or looking romantic in renaissance style brocade? Perhaps you want your gown to hug your curves, foam around your feet in a soft tulle tide, or whisper gently with every step you take.

In Religious & Legal...

Your Ceremony
Breaths are held, eyes brim, hankies are at the ready … it’s the moment they’ve been waiting for. And if it makes your guests’ hearts beat a little faster, just wait till you feel what “I do” does to your own.

In Reception...

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.

In Music & Entertainment...

Music & Entertainment
Never underestimate the power of music to create atmosphere. Music can add drama, heighten emotion and help proceedings to flow smoothly.

In Reception...

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.

In Reception...

The Home Reception
If you would like a reception that’s intimate, warm and very special, invite your guests to your home. Your family home will welcome and embrace those you’ve chosen to share your wedding day like no other venue.

In Wedding Co-ordinators...

Wedding Services
Planning a wedding can represent a major challenge. Whether you’ve decided on a large, formal event or a quiet, intimate gathering, there’s so much to remember and so much to do that you may find, particularly if you have a full-time career, that the whole process is overwhelming. If that’s the case, consider hiring a wedding coordinator.

In Gifts & Registries...

Gifts & Thank You Notes
Almost from the moment you announce your engagement, the gifts will start arriving. Engagement parties, bridal showers, the wedding itself … all perfect opportunities for your nearest and dearest to lavish you and your betrothed with tokens of their love and affection. And they will usually want to give you something that will be of real use to you.

In Video...

Your Wedding Video
Is there any better way to capture the emotion, excitement and colour of your wedding day than by becoming the leading lady in your very own wedding movie? The most enchanting day of your life will be over before you know it. But a professionally made video puts time on hold. You can re-live the day as many times as you want … just press ‘play’!

In Transport...

Your Wedding Transport
A glittering Rolls, a horse drawn carriage, a helicopter, a red hot Ferrari or perhaps a boat or plane … how are you going to get to the church on time?

In Honeymoon...

All About Honeymoons
