imporlant gown. Nowa­ days, brides are glanc­ ing back to the glam­ orous ’40s for inspira­ tion with simple, clas­ sic and elegant styles to stir up nostalgia. Straight and slender dresses in dupion silk and bearded lace, as well as shawl-collar gowns harking back to the golden days of Grace Kelly in the ’50s are proving popular.

on her wedding day. Although the tradition­ al blue or black morn­ ing suit is still a hot favourite for bride­ grooms and other males in the wedding party, crazy splashes of colour can be used to brighten up the most conservative outfits, with eye-catching cra­ vats and wacky waist­ coats.


Rip-roaring receptions. With a change in the law, some hotels can now cater for the wed­ ding as well as the reception and evening celebrations. Choose a centre big enough for the number of guests you have invited and make sure the menu is attractive to all. With years of experience in hand, local venues can offer a wealth of advice and help.


Floral fancies. With exotic blooms from far


and wide, brides can have a tough time deciding what will look best with their wedding gown. Then, of course, there are the church
