Welcome to our Confidence issue Incredible self-belief – it’s not easy (for most brides) is it? Being the centre of attention, being the most important person in the room (what groom?!) and knowing that all aspects of your day will be commented on and poured over is hard.

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO DESIGN WEDDING GOWNS? I started sketching wedding gowns when I was four years old. It didn’t occur to me that being a designer could be a career until my late teens but, by then, I was hooked on fashion. I love the romance, the symbolism and the significance of a wedding gown and the connection my clients feel for this beautiful piece of clothing. art, I would paint and draw too. We lived upstate in a rural area, and I would run off and play in the fields and streams. It allowed my imagination to develop in a way that was almost dream-like. WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB? My husband is my partner, and I love that I have someone that I completely…

The first thing to do is sit down with your fiancé and talk openly about the kind of day you want. The main ceremony options are: 1 CHURCH OF ENGLAND You may have to attend a number of Sunday services beforehand. The marriage can be authorised by calling banns on three consecutive Sundays three months before the day, or by obtaining a common licence. Church fees are from £415, with extra costs for choir, organ, etc. In Scotland, banns aren’t necessary, but 15 days’ notice must be given at a register office. 2 ROMAN CATHOLIC Take your baptism and confirmation certificates to your priest at least six months before — if one of you is unbaptised then the priest needs to give permission.

Celina Corbishley and Matthew Groom held their glamorous vintage wedding at Chilston Park Hotel on 6th March 2015 “Seeing Matt at the altar was such an emotional moment!” We wanted our wedding to be fun and relaxed, yet simple, classy and elegant. As soon as we saw Chilston Park, we knew it would fit perfectly with the ivory and champagne colour scheme we had in mind. After finding our venue, we only had around four months to plan our day! I spent evenings and weekends with my family making favours, place names and pearl garlands for our chair backs. We were so lucky that everybody was keen to help out – one of my amazing bridesmaids even sang a beautiful version of Christina Perri’s A Thousand Years as I walked…

“The walk from the church door towards Tim was the most special moment of my life!” I’d always dreamed of an English country garden wedding, and when we decided to hold our reception in Tim’s parents’ garden, the dream came to life. It was the perfect blank canvas, which was exciting but needed a lot of hard work and preparation! Our colours were taken from the garden’s flowers – pinks, peaches, purples and creams – and we used wooden accents to complement the woodland surroundings. My dad made our amazing wooden signs, which we loved! We also added some elements of the 1920s, such as our vintage photo booth, as it added the elegant feel we wanted for our day. Our wedding was a real labour of love. To walk…

Hannah McClune, the photographer behind this creative shoot, explains, “Using a striking colour palette of red, yellow and blue, we created all the fun of the fair with a circus/festival fusion.” This is a great idea for making the most of an outdoor space. “We included touches like the drinks station, where guests can help themselves, and a cute sundae decorating bar,” says Hannah.

Q What is the difference between civil partnership and marriage? A: Apart from the wording and process of the actual ceremonies, the main differences come down to legalities. For example, civil partners do not have the same pension rights as married couples. Visit gov.uk for a detailed guide to the comparisons. Q Can I convert my civil partnership to a marriage? A: Yes – you can visit your local register office for a straightforward conversion or have a ceremony at an approved venue with a registrar. You’ll both need to be present and bring proof of ID and of your civil partnership – you’ll then be issued with a marriage certificate. For more info, visit thegayweddingguide.co.uk Q Can same-sex couples have a church wedding? A: Yes, but only if the…

“It was like seeing all of my wedding Pinterest boards come to life!” Daniel and I met on the beautiful island of Majorca in 2003. After 10 years of dating, he popped the question while we were on holiday there in 2013. We both love the island and the memories it holds for us, so wanted to share it with our family and friends on our wedding day. As soon as we saw S’Olivaret, we fell in love with it. The hotel is nestled in the Tramontana Mountains and the views are breathtaking. We chose a romantic vintage travel theme with a mix of gold, silver and pastel colours, and had vintage-style birdcages, books lined with floral fabrics to create height, vintage teacups and jars to decorate our tables.

“Making a commitment to each other after 10 years was the most amazing feeling!” Ben and I hadn’t originally planned to have a wedding theme, but we both love the film Up as it reminds us of our childhood. The fun, carefree and vibrant feel of the film matched our personalities and went well with our unusual colour choices of purple and orange. We brought the look to life by having bunches of bright balloons on our tables, held in place by little houses we found on Etsy. Each house had to be built from over 200 pieces, and my wonderful dad took charge of putting them together over the course of six months. The result was amazing and really brought the whole look of the day together. I loved…
