A Mary-Elizabeth Bride has a unique quality; the ability to design and create the most “important” item of clothing she will ever wear, that shows off who she truly is. I can visualise a dress that fuses comfort, and style, that tells your individual story, ensuring that your dress will take everyone's breath away.

There is a saying that "every outfit tells a story", so why wear a dress a million other Ladies have chosen when you can have your very own bespoke dress that tells the greatest love story of all? Yours.

When you get engaged, what is the first thing you do in the planning process?  Some will choose their dress, some will choose a venue and some will choose their wedding theme.  Many couples are now opting to get married or have their reception in an alternative venue rather than hotels such as barns, warehouses and village halls. 

Deciding how to decorate your venue is another task you will need to consider.  Venue stylist, Lindsey Hunter loves the challenge of decorating alternative venues and talks through her tips on how to style a village hall, which tend to be spacious with high ceilings, perfect for creating something spectacular for your wedding.

Finding your perfect wedding dress is a dream come true for all brides-to-be, but sometimes figuring out what you are going to wear underneath that perfect dress when you find it, isvery often more of a challenge or for some a nightmare. I have spoken to many wedding party woman and some have owned up to even going commando out of desperation, the saying is “if needs must…” and of course free choice is a wonderful thing, so there is no problem with that route, but most women prefer to don some form of lingerie, just in case.

With a wedding to plan, Valentine’s Day may be the last thing on your mind.  Like me, you may think Valentine’s Day is a bit underwhelming and over commercialised, but use it to your advantage and book a fun ‘date night’ (or ‘date day’) around your wedding planning schedule.  Take it from me, no matter how many months or weeks you are planning your wedding, it goes by in a flash.  So savour the little things before you get married, enjoy the planning process together, and use any excuse that you can to celebrate with your other half.

Here’s some (wedding-budget friendly) ways you can make it a fun Valentine’s day, and incorporate some of your planning into it, too!
