Bridesmaids dresses
These gorgeous little bridesmaids dresses are from Monsoon.
They are perfect inspiration for a glitzy glamorous wedding. Little girls will love them for party dresses after the wedding, and they do lots of beautiful accessories too.



Getting started
Newly engaged – never planned a wedding before?
Its natural to be excited and overwhelmed by all the options.
Take some time with your partner and try to answer some of the questions below.
1) Think through your overall vision/ dreams for the day.
2) Decide on 3 things you definately won’t compromise money on
3) See if it is easier to decide on things you do not want to do or have at your wedding
4) Have an idea of budget, but remember this may change
5) Remind yourselves of friends weddings and see if you can identify memorable moments
6) keep perspective and ‘enjoy’ the planning, remember you don’t need to do everything yourself!

Wedding planners will answer queries for free if you email them, a little advice from the professionals can help give you the confidence to get started.
Alternatively, Cherish offer fun ‘planning evenings’ for newly engaged couples to brainstorm ideas with close friends / family.
Wedding place settings
These fabulous mirror edged picture frames are £4 each from John Lewis, great value, glamorous and quality too!.
Just select a favourite picture of each guest or a comedy pic related to their nickname, and insert in the frame. Place pics/frames on the table, it will serve as a place setting and as a gift for them to take home.
The pictures will also be good talking points and everyone will enjoy the personal touch and have fun looking for themselves in the process.
