As autumn approaches, our wardrobes have gone from summer dresses to thick jumpers almost overnight. With colder days and darker nights comes the desire to stay in, and watch TV while the wind is blowing outside. Gone are long, hot summer evenings, taking with them our energy and joie de vivre.

However, you can combat the winter blues and re-live your summer memories with one simple beauty essential – your fragrance. Here, industry leading experts Fragrance & Beauty, explain the key tricks to keeping your summer scent alive during the new season.

An historic London venue is throwing open its doors to wedding planners and Brides and Grooms to be this Autumn in an event which showcases the full potential of its expansive site.

The Royal Horticultural Halls Lindley Hall, which regularly hosts events for London Fashion Week, international car launches and even played host to President Obama’s Town Hall speech, is a popular venue for luxury events. With its expansive and prestigious backdrop, the space allows for beautiful grand scale weddings.

The wedding showcase event, planned for Saturday 1st October will feature demonstrations of lighting, draping, furniture and floral displays, enabling visitors to experience the full potential of the Georgian-featured, glass vaulted ceilinged space.

With the average UK wedding costing a whopping £20,000, it’s not surprising that money-saving DIY weddings are becoming increasingly popular. Even small changes, such as creating your own table decorations, can save you hundreds of pounds with minimum fuss. What’s more, they’ll make your wedding day just as special as you always dreamed it would be, with an added personal touch.

It’s now easier than ever to achieve this; with a great range of products on offer to help you achieve the look you want, a little bit of creativity can go a long way.

Upcycling is a fantastic way to transform old or unwanted items into personalised, on-trend designs to complement your wedding, whether you’re looking for shabby-chic or a bit of luxury without breaking the bank.

When preparations for your wedding enter the final month, virtually all of the main aspects will have been long since closed off and it’s down to the finer details of the day. One of these later tasks is to arrange where your guests will be seated for the reception. It can be a time-consuming process but it’s worth taking the time to organise it as carefully as possible, as all it takes is one unwise move to impact upon everyone’s enjoyment of the evening.
