Think of bridal lingerie and what do you see? I’m willing to bet it’s all white lace and garters. Which is great, if you’re a white lace and garters kind of girl. But let’s face it, not all of us are. Of course, it may seem practical to wear white, or nude, underwear under your white gown but the days of the bride wearing nothing but white, except perhaps ivory if they really want to push the boat out, are number. If you’re having a gold dress, a pink dress or even a rainbow sequinned dress, why not find some lingerie equally as striking. That would really give your groom something to unwrap!

I think we can all tell from the weather outside that summer is well and truly over. Those sexy strapless dresses may look gorgeous, but who really wants goosebumps in their wedding photos? It may be cold outside, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look hot. Many designers incorporate shrugs, boleros or sleeves into their dresses specifically for the chillier weather. If you do have your heart set on that impractical spring/ summer collection gown, there are masses of capes and shawls on the high street to keep you snuggly as the temperature drops.

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!

Whilst we spend months, if not years, poring over wedding magazines, cutting out images and pressing our noses up against shop windows in our hunt for the perfect dress, the groom gets it easy. He wears a suit. Sometimes a top hat. Done. But what if that’s not your man’s style? What if he’s a laid-back guy or a bit of a rocker, or a metrosexual fashionista? They can get a little neglected in the sea of tulle and silk. Well, just for those men out there who are panicking a bit on the inside, I have hunted down some of the best looks for those fellas who just don’t do formal suits.

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.
