The traditional look of a veil and tiara is no longer the only choice to dress up your hair on your big day. Brides now are being more original and keeping their look beautiful with more informal accessories such as hair pins, alice bands and corsages in the form of beautiful delicate flowers. This look is great for brides who want to steer away from stuffy formality and express their own individuality. I’ve taken a look at the high street for some of the best bargain choices.

Flowergirls and pageboys are an adorable touch to the wedding party. If you can put up with the unpredictable, over excitable and downright horrible, that is. Don’t worry, just kidding. Children can be a little wild, but they often calm down if they have an important job. Of course, it doesn’t really need to be an important job- just so long as they think it is! Once you’ve decided how to keep them calm, finding something for them to wear is child’s play (See what I did there?… Sorry). What’s more, with adorable outfits all over the high street you don’t need to spend a fortune on dresses and suits from a specialist shop, and you can find outfits in any colour under the sun. Perfect!

Summer is drawing to a close and it’s time to get cosy with the chilly months approaching. For an autumn wedding, choose colours that portray warmth and reflect the beautiful rustic shades of the leaves falling off the trees. Tones of orange, gold and brown are perfect for an autumn wedding.

You put your heart and soul into planning every little detail for the big day- the flowers, the favours, the shoes that nobody will see under your floor-length dress. There’s a lot to take in, not to mention a lot to do, so it’s easy to forget what comes after- the honeymoon. Don’t leave it until the last minute to pack. Just picture the scene- a luscious Carribean beach, sipping cocktails in front of the sparkling ocean, your sexy new husband at your side… and you in that faded, threadbare swimsuit that hasn’t seen the light of day in five years. Nope, that just won’t do. So I have compiled a guide to the most stylish, most beautiful and most flattering honeymoon fashion out there.

Bubbly actress and TV presenter Denise van Outen married her West End star husband Lee Mead in April 2009. Telling friends that they were just going on holiday, the two jetted off to the luxury Labriz Silhouette resort in the Seychelles where they secretly married in front of a select few guests. They kept the wedding simple and low key which makes it perfect inspiration for brides who want an elegant, informal wedding.
The newlyweds- who met when Denise was a judge on “Any Dream Will Do”, the show that turned Lee into a musical star- both looked modern, stylish and classic during their romantic beach wedding. They managed to keep everything unfussy to create a wonderfully chic wedding at a fraction of the cost of an average celebrity wedding. It’s great to see a star couple who don’t spend their pay checks on tacky matching thrones and cinderella pumpkin carts for their wedding!

As every bride-to-be knows, the outfits are everything! The wedding dress is arguably the most important dress she will ever wear, not to mention the most expensive! Many brides set a high budget for their dress in the hopes of finding the perfect dress, but that can compromise their budget for the bridesmaids gowns.
They can’t be decked out in just anything! They have to set the scene before the bride arrives, to compliment her yet still avoid outshining her. How do you achieve this without mega bucks? Well, anything is possible with a bit of imagination and research.
