November - December 2013 Issue #8

TRENDS AND INSPIRATIONWhat do you think will be the hot trends for 2014?In terms of styling, the monochrome look will continue to grow in popularity during 2014, but we will start to move away from the whole summer fete thing - which has been huge over the last few years, as couples opt for more of a contemporary rustic twist on the vintage theme. Traditional / Modern / Vintage or Shabby Chic?Hollywood classic glamour all the way… more Taylor than Monroe.Do you have a favourite time of the year to hold a wedding?I love a winter warmer. For me, a candlelit space at this time of year is the ultimate in romance.What are the key colour trends coming through for 2014? Regal glamour not glitz is going to be super hot in 2014. Think petrol blue, teal, turquoise and Royal blue. These colour-ways are going to rock the aisle next year, but think subtle splashes not full-on blocks of colour. What has been your favourite romantic wedding?Even now, David and Victoria Beckham’s big day stands out in my mind, primarily because they ripped up the rule book and told the World that you should make the day your own and not be afraid to go all out on a theme; whilst having some fun with it too! The fairytale thrones were a wonderful touch for me!

What has been your most memorable ‘alternative’ or ‘fun’ wedding?Saying ‘I do’ surrounded by lions, tigers and an elephant was pretty amazing!

What advice would you offer to brides about putting their ‘look’ together? I think its super romantic to start at the point where the whole thing began! The engagement ring usually reflects your own personal style and tastes – soak it up and get inspired.

What ideas have you previously used for ‘something old something new something borrowed something blue’?Something old – A family heirloom in the bouquetSomething new – The lingerie of course!Something borrowed – A vintage clutch bagSomething blue – Any opportunity to use a blue ostrich feather and I am there – even the garter!

Do you have any money saving tips for newly engaged couples?Always think what can we do ourselves or ask a friend or family member to help us with. Someone will know someone who does hair, bakes cakes or has a passion for photography. Spread the word that you are getting hitched post haste!

READER OFFERPlan the perfect big day celebration with this ultimate guide that covers everything you will ever need to know – without having to break the bank!

A great way to incorporate the theme of fantasy into your wedding is by the little things such as invitations - a simple but effective touch to bring your whimsical wedding to life. The invites could have an icy blue or frosty white background coupled with lace detailing to add a touch of magic and class to your day. Name cards on the table could also be customised perhaps to mirror the design on the invitation or in any magical way you choose. Another idea is to decorate the menus or your thank you cards - a fantastical design could frame the menu for example (you get the idea!). There are endless ways to incorporate such a theme- the number of ideas could go on and on! Companies offer an amazing range of ideas for wedding stationary and work closely with you to ensure perfection on your day so as long as the designs are kept classy yet magical - you really cannot go wrong.

Mirror Mirror on The Wall

With Christmas around the corner and your wedding in

the offing, what better excuse do you need to spruce up your

makeup bag?

We all know make-up can be a girl’s best friend, and

this season’s beautiful trends can put the finishing touch to your big day. While the ‘no-makeup’ look remains

the most popular, the festive season is presenting brides with many different ways to

highlight their natural beauty, from the simple to the more

dramatic.

Why not use a subtle glitter-based eye shadow together with fluttery lashes? This

creates a magical look and is sure to make you feel like a

princess.

As well as gorgeous eyes, luscious lips are a must. The

trend for winter 2013 is berry coloured lips with a hint of

gloss - a stunning look if you have an autumnal theme to

your wedding.

If you are having your wedding make-up done by a professional make-up artist, ask them to re-create these trends or experiment with wintery colours. If you are

going to do your own make-up, keep the look timeless or

incorporate the new ideas into the rest of your make-up;

simple skin and cheeks will accentuate beautifully the feature you have chosen to

highlight.

The small touches to a wedding can literally make all the

difference however they can also be the most difficult to

choose. But fear no more as we have some great ideas to

add a Christmassy touch to your ceremony and reception.

Most brides dream of a fairytale wedding and taking

this theme in mind, there are many ways to incorporate

a fantasy element into the decor. Candles are a great

addition, whether they highlight the centre of the dining

table or if they are just flickering in the background

during the ceremony. The candle holders could be frosty

silver edged in diamonds, the glass could be crackled

to allow the candle light to glow through or the candles

could be nestled amongst berries, adding romance and a

touch of magic. Napkin rings could also be incorporated

which match the chosen candle holders or they could

have a differing design to tie in with the fairytale theme.

Another popular addition is snow-white flowers or snow

covered branches. These add a touch of drama yet hint at

Christmassy without being overpowering. Twinkle lights

could also be intertwined in and around your flower

display. Even a sparkling tiara could be worn by the bride

which hints at the fairytale theme, albeit subtly. There are

so many fun and adventurous ways to incorporate such a

beautiful element to your wedding - in whatever way you

choose, your wedding will certainly be memorable for all

the right reasons.

all exciting.. SO for now Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from

Miss to Mrs Mag HQ.

When it comes to Christmas and weddings, they have one major thing in common

- superb food! Choosing what to feed your guests can be a challenge, but why not

think outside the box and go for something a little different? Winter weddings

have huge potential for a fresh look at comforting food favourites, and catering

companies are taking advantage of the season by offering exciting menus.

How could your guests resist hors d’oeuvres of mini childhood favourites, or little

sweet treats of candied fruit and tiny sponge puddings? Other winter touches you

can add are warm soups made of pumpkin or squash, servings of spiced wine or

hot chocolate (alcoholic or not – it’s your choice!), and decorative embellishments

such as edible sugar sculptures dusted in glitter or coconut to look like snow. You

could also ask your caterer to add Christmas flavours into your meal, for example

in your chosen dessert, opt for a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg and a scattering

of berries on the plate to add to the wintery feel. Comfort is paramount when it

Enchanted Feast

comes to planning a winter wedding menu; so as long as the portion sizes are small

enough to ensure your guests are still able to hit the dance-floor, anything goes.

Finally, add interactive aspects like fondue stations to your menu. These not only

look fabulous, but will provide your guests with extra entertainment and get them

in the wedding and festive spirit! All of these ideas can tie in with the Christmassy

theme, and add a fairytale element to the day - a perfect combination in my

opinion. (Photography by @em wedding & Portrait Photography & cakes created

Iced Gems


Your big day is looming, the day you have dreamt of since you were a little girl. Time to slip into your floaty white dress and glide down the aisle as a vision of loveliness. One question comes to mind: How do you make your ‘Grand Entrance’ so memorable it’s embedded in your guests memories for all eternity? Well there are several conventional and also some less conventional ways to get you to the altar or venue of choice.

For some, the traditional ‘Wedding Car,’ just doesn’t hit the right spot - it’s not quite memorable enough. Some fancy a fairytale Cinderella style horse-drawn carriage, embellished with jewels and all sorts of glitz, while others prefer a slow and graceful Limo ride. However the growing trend seems to be to wow, shock, amaze or at very least, surprise your wedding party. Why not dazzle your guests by arriving in a helicopter? Or rock up in a hefty, but very shiny, Hummer. Maybe you’d prefer to breeze in on a polished up Harley (beware wind and coiffures ladies!). A VW Camper seems to be a popular choice for a less formal and more Retro entrance, or you could simply walk barefoot and hand in hand with your partner - it’s as stylish as any other method.

For an utterly bonkers but fun entrance you can hire a Del Boy style, three wheeler Trotters Van, or perhaps hire a tandem bike to symbolise two becoming one - cliché but cute! Or plod your way in on an elaborately decorated Indian Elephant, plumage and all! The choices are endless.

The one big rule is this; make sure your choice is absolutely right for you, remember the start to a perfect day is your arrival. Make yours count!
