Table of contents for April 2018 in Perfect Wedding

Have you started yet? Maybe you’ve got yours already? What colour/shape/length and price (eek!) have you gone for? I’m talking about the dress of course! The search for (possibly) the most expensive dress you’ll ever buy needs some planning. Whether you are going high street or designer, think about shapes you love, the venue you’ve booked, and the vibe of the day – and read this month’s advice on page 74 on how to ace that search. Speaking of this month’s issue, it’s with huge sadness to tell you this is the last ever Perfect Wedding. It’s been an amazing 10 years for the magazine with a team who are obsessed with weddings. But don’t worry – you can still get all your wedding inspiration from our sister magazine You…

Holly and Owen “For his proposal Owen relived our first date and whisked me off to the Lake District!” Laura and Jack “We went to Amsterdam for my birthday in December and Jack got down on one knee on the ice rink.” Sam and Ian “We were on a skiing holiday in Lapland when one night under the northern lights Sam asked me to be his wife.” Sarah and Mark “Mark popped the question while on an Abra (a traditional boat) In the Souk Madinat, Dubai.”…

FASHION Q: I’m having a same-sex wedding and although I want to look like a bride, I fancy something quite unique (and different to my wife-to-be who is going classic). Where should I start? Rachel, 31 KATE: There are so many different options out there depending on the kind of style you wanted to create. We do an amazing edgy trouser look, which you could wear with a figure-enhancing bustier – by keeping that feminine edge while rocking a pant you’re guaranteed to complement your brides’ dress but still stay unique. Or alternatively, if you want to stay away from trousers, I love a hip-hugging Italian cocktail skirt and a simple camisole. This look is really edgy and cool but not a traditional wedding dress at all. Plus, you’ll definitely…

CATHY MCCONNELL AND PAUL SUMMERS WED AT THE ASYLUM IN PECKHAM FOLLOWED BY A PUB RECEPTION ON 14TH JULY 2017 “We loved the idea of something quirky and unusual for our ceremony, followed by a relaxed, informal reception, and The Asylum ticked every box. It’s an old chapel that’s steeped in history with beautiful crumbling walls and incredible stained glass windows that bring in the most amazing light. For our reception, we booked The Lordship pub, which has a ‘modern retro’ twist with some wonderful graffiti art in the local vicinity which gave it a cool, edgy vibe! We did loads of DIY for our day – all with kitsch, tropical vibes and lots of bright pink and gold. I love nostalgia, so our save the dates were replica library…

Blend deep hues and metallics for a seriously luxurious, vintage vibe Lace, candlesticks and silk ribbons – we just can’t get enough of this gorgeous vintage theme. Stylist Alexandra Bulman took inspiration from the historic manor house setting to create this look, with a striking colour scheme to boot. “The period features called for a bold palette, so I used golds, cranberry and dusty blue throughout the shoot, within the textiles, table décor and floral design. I wanted to create a perfect balance between old world glamour and timeless elegance.” CONTRIBUTORS Photography Mary Smith Photography (marysmithphotography.com) Venue The Manor Country House Hotel (themanorweston.com) Planning, styling and flowers Alexandra Rose Weddings (alexandraroseweddings.com) Cake Scattercake (scattercake.co.uk) Make-up and hair Maxine Wilson (maxinewilson.co.uk) Bridalwear Ellie Sanderson (elliesanderson.co.uk) Calligraphy Mango Tree London (instagram.com/mangotreelondon) Crockery…

AQUARIUS JAN 21–FEB 19 You’re tired of falling in with an older relative’s suggestions. You don’t want to offend anyone, but you want to experiment with some innovative ideas.

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…

“ Since I was a child, I have always loved the valley in which the estate Prados Riveros is situated. It’s my father’s home town and a magical place, full of nature, pines, trees and rivers. Some of my best friends live in Argentina, Costa Rica, Sweden and France so we wanted a long wedding in a venue that we could rent for the whole weekend. The Prados Riveros estate was perfect, and had a big house for everyone to stay in. I had a clear idea of what I wanted for my dress, so I worked with designer Raquel Ferreiro on a bespoke gown. We started with drawings, then ‘built’ the dress step by step. The finished design was perfect, with such beautiful detail. Our wedding look was very…

 “Matt and I looked at so many different venues after we got engaged – we really had no idea what kind of wedding we wanted! In the end we chose St Mary’s Church because it had the most amazing surroundings – in the grounds of a castle, next to the sea – and Tournerbury Estate for its beautiful woodland setting. They also allowed us to incorporate animals into our day, which was important to us as we are big animal lovers! CHARLOTTE PAULEY AND MATT PEARCE WED AT PORTCHESTER CASTLE WITH A RECEPTION AT TOURNERBURY ESTATE ON 20TH MAY 2017 I love interiors, and through organising our wedding I found that I loved styling too. I didn’t really have a plan for how everything would look though, it just gradually…

THE BRIDE: LORNA FOOTE, 36 My biggest regret: “Looking back, I wish I’d had a less formal wedding. We had a huge venue and I wore a big dress – it was beautiful, but I felt very on show, which isn’t me at all.” If I could do it again: “I’d have a smaller celebration with close family and friends, then a lovely long honeymoon somewhere exotic. We spent a lot on our venue and food and could have saved a lot of money by going more low-key.” Don’t let it happen to you! “Stay true to yourself. It’s easy to get swept along with what everyone thinks you should do and who you should invite. If you just want to have 30 people at your wedding and a nice…

GETTING STARTED When it comes to starting the search for ‘the one’ (dress, not partner, FYI) it’s never too early. Giving yourself plenty of time to look around and try on lots of different gowns takes away any of that dreaded last-minute panic. As a general guide, you should be planning to order your bridal gown around eight months before the big day, so it’s not crazy to start looking a year in advance if you want to visit a few different boutiques. “As a general guide, you should be planning to order your gown around eight months before your day... so it’s not crazy to start looking a year in advance if you want to visit a few different boutiques.” MONEY, MONEY, MONEY You’ll be fed up of hearing…

The first thing to do is talk openly with your fiancé about the 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 £456 in your home parish, 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. You may have to attend marriage preparation talks…

“Howard and I spent so long looking at venues and struggled to find one that felt right. We started looking further afield from Brighton, where we live, and that’s when we stumbled upon Southend Barns. I think I knew before we even arrived it was going to be the one and as soon as we saw it we rang our families, picked a date and it was in the diary! Our wedding look developed quite organically – we started with our favourite colours (blues, greens and purples) and then a woodland theme developed through our love for animals, English spring flowers and foliage. I was very lucky to have bridesmaids who were really involved – right away we started making ribbon chair garlands and I also sourced moss for the…

JENNY BARRETT AND JAMES BURKE HELD THEIR SPRING CELEBRATION AT THE BOATHOUSE IN NORFOLK ON 14TH APRIL 2017 “ARRIVING AT OUR VENUE BY BOAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!” “I grew up in Norfolk and always imagined that I’d get married there, so when we discovered The Boathouse it felt completely right. The venue is situated on Ormesby Broad and the views are amazing, so we knew we’d get beautiful pictures. My sister designed all of our save the dates, invites, table names, order of services and table plan, and gave them a slight ‘nautical’ theme to reflect the setting of our day.
