Having decided on the venue, the most important decision you will have to make for your wedding will be choosing the perfect dress. There is plenty of choice available, (and My Lincolnshire Wedding is here to help you choose your perfect gown) to find a style and shape to make you feel a million dollars on your big day. W hether you have been planning your big day since you were a little girl or have only just started, it is worth trying on as many styles as possible. There are many different choices available, so picking ‘the one’ that makes you feel like a princess can take time. Popular styles for brides in 2012 include dresses adorned with lace. Lace sleeves, which have been popular since the Royal Wedding, and detail over the dress can give an illusion neckline which creates 12 | My Lincolnshire Wedding PAGE 12 & 13 2 a soft, elegant and romantic finish. This season’s brides will truly float, as softly billowing chiffon gently graces the aisle. To indulge in the romance, designers are generous in their detailing, using hand stitched crystals on large floral appliqués and stunning lace. Look for a dress with an interesting back, since this is the part that people will see the most during the service. The simple and refined strapless column dresses that have been popular over the past few years are blooming with adornment, appliqué, beading and trims on everything from necklines, to accentuated waists and hemlines. Many brides have been turning away from the classic white dress to colours, including pastel pinks and subtle silvers which can complement specific wedding themes. Those who prefer simple shapes need not worry as there will still be plenty of clean and graceful lines, but there are more opportunities to express your personality through detailing or adding accessories to your outfit.

Plan ahead. It is important to have an idea of what you would really like for your wedding dress, whether it is sleeves to cover up your arms or a full skirt. 2. Give yourself plenty of time to find the right dress. Many shops will have to order it in, which can take a few months. 3.If you are having a whirlwind wedding, some shops will offer certain styles off the peg and at a discounted rate. However, they are usually from a previous season so bear this in mind. 4.Have plenty of fittings before the big day. Make sure you feel comfortable in your dress, as you will be in it all day. 5. When the big day arrives put your dress on last, but give yourself time before you leave to appreciate at how stunning you look on your wedding day.

It is important to take the time to keep to a beauty regime in the months leading up to wedding, which will help you achieve a flawless look. Taking time to relax and rid yourself of the stress of planning a wedding will help create a glowing bride. W hen you first start planning the wedding it is important to step-up cleansing, toning, moisturising and exfoliating daily, which will get rid of dead skin, leaving a smooth complexion. Drinking plenty of water every day will hydrate your skin and flush out any toxins. In the weeks before the wedding it is time to start having some indulgent time to ensure your skin is in its best condition. As well as having regular facials you also need to remember the rest of your body, including your hands and feet. If your nails are prone to breaking, start wearing nail hardener and using cuticle 16 | My Lincolnshire Wedding PAGE 16 & 17 2 oil to moisturise your nails. Use hand lotion throughout the day to moisturise. If you are getting married in the summer and wearing strappy sandals or jetting off on honeymoon after the wedding don’t forget to look after your feet. After spending plenty of time on your toes trying to organise the wedding they need to be looking in tip top condition. Using a rich moisturising lotion and filing every couple of days will help to reduce hard skin. BeAUty regIme coUntDoWn One year before the wedding Step-up cleansing, toning and moisturising daily and exfoliating once a week. Have a consultation with your hairdresser. If you want to try something new for the wedding, have a trial now; if it’s not what you expected, you have plenty of time to try other ideas. Six months before the wedding Brush your body regularly with a bristle body brush. Using long strokes, work upwards, making your skin soft and supple.

Four weeks before the wedding Have a consultation with your beautician. Get your eyebrows shaped and have a run through of your wedding make-up. If you are using a spray tan for the big day, try this out now so you don’t look orange on the big day. Meet with your hairdresser and try different styles. Take photos so you can have a look at them all individually. Don’t forget if you are having bridesmaids to take them with you so you can decide on how you would like their hair to look. One week before the wedding Treat yourself to a day out at the spa. Get your legs and bikini line waxed, leaving plenty of time to get rid of any redness. Have a manicure and pedicure to ensure your nails will look perfect on the big day. On the day Take some time to pamper yourself. Have a long soak in the bath. To calm and sooth, use some lavender candles. Don’t forget this is your day and you need to be feeling your very best. Make sure to wear loose clothing when having your hair and makeup done so as not to smudge.

C hic headwear – from headbands trimmed with extra large flowers in contrasting tones, to sweet 1950s style half veils – finishes off the embellishment and detailing trend this season. Your choice of gown will be complemented by oneoff vintage pieces and handmade luxuries. If your dress is heavily embellished, a dainty tiara or headband will accentuate the detail without being overpowering. If you have opted for an elegant, understated dress then a sleek ‘50s hairstyle with a veil or bride hat will be perfect for vintage impact. For some true decadence, indulge in a vintage fine lace veil with some delicate embellishment. JON FREDRICK BRIDAL DESIGNS JON FREDRICK BRIDAL DESIGNS Something new... 12 T he perfect way to incorporate ‘something new’ into your day is to decorate your neck with a beautiful piece of jewellery. Gowns with a bodice are accentuated with larger pieces of jewellery across the collar bone, but for dresses with a deep neckline a longer, more refined necklace would complement the shape of the 18 | My Lincolnshire Wedding PAGE 18 2 gown. Pearls and crystals are ideal for the vintage theme and can add a really personal touch to your wedding outfit if passed down from a relative. If you wish to create your own show-stopping piece of jewellery you can visit any antique store and find exquisite pearl necklaces and stunning crystal brooches to fix together.

Alternatively, add a contemporary twist by opting for cottage garden flowers but in bright and unusual colour combinations. For table top flower displays, hydrangeas, lady slipper orchids and roses create a delicate arrangement with soft blushes of colour appearing through lilac hues. My Lincolnshire Wedding_| 19 16/02/2012 14:56 PAGE 20 1 16/02/2012 14:56 12 | YOUR QUESTIONS | Your questions answered We have decided not to invite children to our wedding but many of our friends and family have young kids. Is it selfish not to invite them? It is your wedding and you can invite whoever you like. Many couples decide not to invite children to the wedding, sometimes out of personal choice and other times the venue or your budget may not cater for smaller guests. Deciding on not having children at your wedding should be a decision that is made early. When you send out your invitations, having some carefully chosen words at the bottom will let your guests know of your decision. Many guests will enjoy the idea of a day (and possibly a night) away from their children to help you celebrate your wedding and letting them know early will help them to arrange child care. A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication PAGE 21 1 My fiancé and I want to have a more intimate wedding. How do we decide on who to invite without upsetting people? The guest list can be one of the most difficult decisions when planning your wedding. Do you invite your second cousins you haven’t seen since you were kids as it will keep your aunt happy? It is your day and you should invite people who you want to be there. Unfortunately, sometimes choosing some people and not others can seem like a daunting decision, but it is your day and you should have people who have supported you both. You could always have a smaller ceremony and wedding breakfast and invite more guests to the evening entertainment without this increasing the costs too much. We have a small budget. How can we incorporate everything we want in the wedding without compromising on the details? With the cost of the average wedding being over £20,000 it is easy to see why some couples are cutting back in certain areas. However, having a smaller budget doesn’t mean having to leave anything out. Many couples are choosing to create the finer details themselves, with homemade invitations, hand crafted decorations and more personal favours. If you’re not very creative there are plenty of suggestions on the internet which can give you ideas you may not have thought of. And with all these personal touches it will add individuality to your wedding. My Lincolnshire Wedding_| 21 16/02/2012 14:57 | WEDDING CAKES | Have your cake... After wowing your guests with your wedding dress, the next thing they will be looking at is your choice of cake. Your centrepiece will be something that can complement your theme, or can be something that reflects your personality. G one are the days of the traditional threetiered cake with royal icing and marzipan. Now couples can choose a cake that is personal to them. To start it is important to know the number of guests you are expecting. This will help your baker and you to decide on a size that will give everyone a chance to taste your sugary delicacy. It is important to select a baker early on in your planning, so they can come up with ideas to suit you and if you opt for delicate decorations they have plenty of time to arrange this. 22 | My Lincolnshire Wedding PAGE 22 & 23 2 Instead of a traditional sponge or fruit cake why not try a tiered cheesecake with ribbon and lace decorations? Or if you want something a bit different, trays of playful desserts can be a fun way to end your reception. Many couples are also opting for individual cupcakes and a new trend is individual co-ordinating cakes. Popular colours are black and white and pastel pinks; colours such as avocado/ sage green and ivory are also prevalent. Another option is a cupcake bouquet. Couples are using these as centrepieces for their wedding reception and they make for an unusual dessert for guests. After the wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton, an old tradition which is becoming popular again is to have a groom’s cake. These cakes represent a hobby or passion of the groom and can be anything from a mobile phone to a golf club. Traditionally they were passed out to any unmarried female guests, although now many grooms opt to have the cake on display with the wedding cake to add some individuality, or quirky alternative. cupcake bouquet no. 82 cake studio A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication 16/02/2012 15:00 | WEDDING CAKES | vintage cupcakes no. 82 cake studio hydrangea and brooch no. 82 cake studio ruby, gold roses no. 82 cake studio Celebration Cakes by Carol Wedding and Special Occasion Cakes.

Getting insured With the average cost of a wedding now £20,000, it is important to make sure you are protected. There are many levels of cover starting from as little as £20, but it is important to get a policy that will cover you for those 24 | My Lincolnshire Wedding PAGE 24 2 unavoidable changes. Most policies will cover you for wedding attire, both hired and bought, the wedding cake, gifts, rings and flowers. It is important to look around at cover levels that will suit your wedding. The legal side Often the last thing on a couple’s mind when they are planning their wedding is the possibility of a breakdown in the relationship later. However, it is certainly something which should be considered if either or both have assets they would wish to protect. More and more couples are now considering entering into a prenuptial agreement for this purpose. A prenuptial agreement is one whereby a couple, prior to their marriage, set out how they are going to share/protect their assets on separation. Technically, prenuptial agreements are not formally binding in law. This therefore raises the question as to why they should be drawn up in the first place. Recently, however, there have been a number of cases in which the courts have taken them into account. The courts are now clearly more prepared to consider what the parties intended should happen if they were to separate in the future. For a prenuptial agreement to have more sway at a later date there are a number of steps that need to be considered before such an agreement is entered into. It is strongly advised that both parties take independent legal advice as early as possible and at least several months before marriage, so that they can be advised accordingly. For more advice on whether a prenuptial agreement is appropriate in your circumstances, please contact Gemma Garfoot at Burton and Dyson on 01427 610761.

One of the most important jobs for the groom is to pick an outfit. He will be the most important man of the day and it is important that he looks the part. Your wedding is the start of married life and you will want to begin it with great memories. T here are many options available when it comes to groom’s clothing, from a traditional morning coat to a more popular Prince Edward style jacket. Choosing your suit cut is only the starting point for your outfit, with the accessories making your attire personal to you and your bride. Many couples will have a theme for their wedding and it is easy to incorporate this 26 | My Lincolnshire Wedding PAGE 26 & 27 2 Top Tips 1. Try on different styles early on in the planning. This will help you to decide what suits you. 2. Pick a colour to go with the theme of your wedding. For a smart afternoon wedding a black suit will add formality to your day, or if you are going for a more laid back approach why not try a striking grey? 3. Take your groomsmen and the father of the bride with you. They will need to try on their suits and you can make a day of it. 4. Decide on the colours for the waistcoats and accessories before you go shopping. There are many options available and having too many options can make things harder. 5. If you want to add some individuality to your suit why not choose something slightly different to the wedding party? A contrasting waistcoat will mean all eyes are on you. A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication 16/02/2012 15:04 221 into your chosen suit. If you choose to pick a waistcoat and matching cravat or tie to match the colour of the flowers and decorations, it will add continuity to your theme. Choosing the right suit can be a great excuse to get the boys together and go and try on different styles and cuts, to | MEN’S FASHION | pick the perfect outfit. Once you have picked your suit it is important to make sure it fits properly. Your local suit hire shop will be able to help with this. Making sure the sleeves don’t come over the end of your fingers and your trousers fit to the floor will ensure that you look the part.

While many couples choose to plan their day together there are still some jobs which are traditionally organised and paid for by the groom. A s many couples are waiting until later in life to get married, and paying for their own nuptials, there is not so much emphasis on the groom arranging specific parts of the wedding. However there are still a few areas which the groom should generally cover. These include: • Buying the wedding rings. Although you will generally choose these together, it is traditionally the groom’s role to 28 | My Lincolnshire Wedding PAGE 28.indd 2 buy these. • Organising the transport. This will include transport for the groom, the bride and bridesmaids and possibly other family members, so it is important to discuss who will need transport before you start looking. • The cost of suits, including those for the best men and ushers. This could be to buy or hire. • Any fees for the church or registry office. It doesn’t include the hire of the venue if you are also holding your reception there, although it does include covering the cost of the registrar. • The wedding night accommodation. Many couples opt to stay at the location of their reception, so see if this is possible. • The honeymoon. Although this is a decision which many couples make together, many brides are letting their future husbands pick the romantic location and enjoying a surprise on the day. • The flowers. These include the bride’s bouquet, the bridesmaids’ posies and the buttonholes, but not for decorating the venue. • Gifts for the bridesmaids and best men or ushers. This is another decision you will probably make as a couple. A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication 16/02/2012 15:04 12 | FATHER OF THE BRIDE | Who gives this woman? A part from your own wedding, the day of your daughter’s wedding will be one of the most important days of your life. As the Father of the Bride there are plenty of responsibilities which you will need to undertake, including paying the bill, although this it not always customary anymore. Many couples now are waiting until later in life to tie the knot and in doing so many couples are paying for the wedding themselves. Although your daughter and future son-in-law may have been saving for the cost of hosting their special day, there are plenty of roles and responsibilities a Father of the Bride has. A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication PAGE 29 1 Top Tips 1. Travel to the wedding with your daughter. This is a tradition which continues. By being with her you will be able to calm any last-minute nerves she may have. 2. Walk your daughter down the aisle. As a Father of the Bride this will be your most important role on the day. 3. Stand in the receiving line at the reception. Greet all the guests as they arrive and explain where they need to go at this point in the ceremony. 4. Ensure that all the guests have a drink before the speeches begin to toast the happy couple. 5. Make a short speech and toast to your daughter and new son-in-law. This is your time to reminisce about special memories and maybe a couple of embarrassing stories. 6. When invited, take the bride’s mother for a dance to the couple’s first song. 7. Be the last to leave the reception, making sure all your guests get home safely after a truly memorable day. 8. Once everyone has gone and the bills are paid, give yourself a large pat on the back, you deserve it! My Lincolnshire Wedding_| 29 16/02/2012 15:05 | TranspOrT | Get me to the church... Once you have decided on where you are going to get married, it is important to decide how you are going to arrive. From classic cars to a horse and carriage, or a sports car, there is plenty of choice. Y ou might already know how you want to make your grand entrance, but with so many options available it is worth having a look around to see if anything else catches your eye. Organising the transport early will ensure that what you choose is available on your wedding day and doesn’t conflict with any other bookings. You will also need to decide who will be travelling in the car and how many cars you will need. Traditionally the bride will be accompanied by her father, the groom will arrive with his best men and ushers and the mother of the bride will travel with the bridesmaids. There is also the transport between the wedding venue and reception to organise 30 | My Lincolnshire Wedding PAGE 30 & 31 2 for the bride and groom, if you are holding these at different locations. When choosing your transport it is important to keep things within the theme of your wedding. If you have decided to have a traditional, elegant wedding, then a vintage Bentley or a horse and carriage with traditional dressed footmen will add a touch of sophistication. However, if you have opted for something less formal then there are plenty of choices of modern classics including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, BMWs and Mercedes. Of course if the bride decides to have a traditional entrance the groom can always make his own celebrity entrance. lincolnshire wedding cars lincolnshire wedding cars A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication 16/02/2012 15:07 | TrAnsporT | lincolnshire wedding cars Arrive in style at your wedding in a campervan!

Make sure you visit and look at your preferred choice of transport. Blemishes and dents will not be visible on website photos. 2. Choose someone local. This will save you money compared to choosing a company that has to travel a further distance, in petrol and chauffeur hours. 3. Make sure you have enough space to take everyone who will need transport to the venue. Apart from the bride and groom, there are the bridesmaids, best men, the bride’s parents and possibly grandparents. 4. Ask for a discount. If you are booking a selection of cars you may be able to save some pennies. 5. If budgets are tight, consider taking a limo for everyone instead of several cars.

To get your wedding off to an exciting start you can intrigue your guests by sending out exquisite invitations. Since the invitations are the first element of the wedding that will be experienced by your guests, it is a perfect opportunity to set the theme, so your guests will know what they have to look forward to. A wide selection of stationery manufacturers will be able to tailor your invitations to make them personal to you and your needs. During your reception the last thing you want is your guests bustling around the room trying to find where they are sitting, so a table plan is a must have! If chosen and presented carefully they are also an ideal way to hint at the decoration that your guests will find inside your venue. The table can then feature personalised name cards and menus to match the table plan style. There are a variety of ways to make the name cards more unique, such as adding a personal message for each guest or a miniature photograph of the happy couple. With a theme of vintage charm, each name card can be decorated with small pearls or paper roses. With each personalised card each guest may be given a wedding favour. There are countless different favours available, with a range of themes and prices. Many of the wedding stationery manufacturers can supply favours that will match the theme of your place settings and the table plan.
