Affordable options for a beautiful bride by Donna Redfearn

The whole world will be tuning into the Royal Wedding on Friday 29th April to obtain the first glimpse of "The DRESS". Not all brides have several million pounds as a budget for their wedding or access to the world famous designer such as Bruce Oldfield. With this in mind  North East Wedding Planners recently worked with several north east based designers to bring together various bridal looks to suit any budget. The Journal featured the looks and exclusive styling by Donna Redfearn in their Royal Wedding Special 25th April 2011.

 

 

Over the next few weeks North East Wedding Planners will bring various examples from the bridal shoot, demonstrating how far your wedding budget could stretch by using professional wedding planners with fabulous partnerships with wedding industry specialists......

Introducing Natalie Boyd a member of the NEWP team, Natalie a fashion student and wedding enthusiast leaped at the opportunity to model for this Royal Shoot as well as working on the planning and direction . 

Natalie wears - Classic bridal gown inspired by "Cinderella" pure innocent, turned dark and vampy.... pure white dress vamped up with deep smokey eye makeup, leather jacket… 

 

 In complete contrast a short fairy dress for the perfect summer wedding either here or abroad. This cute design has various styling options, Donna decided to bring the current bang on trend "Vintage theme" into the styling by keeping the makeup very simple (English rose) and the hair tied back..... sometimes less is more.

Late Love....worth the wait

Falling in love is no different at fifteen than it is at seventy-five, just usually minus the acne. There are still the same old emotions whirring around inside us. One's heart still feels so large that it might burst, you forget to eat and find yourself gazing dreamily out of the window……

As we mature like a fine wine, do we start to look past the packaging, and more for that ultimate best friend who will ensure that “Coming home” feeling. No I am not talking about the old joke “pipe and slippers” but that amazing feeling when “The one” holds you in their arms, smiles at you across the room or simply has a cuppa waiting for you.

Over the years I have had the pleasure of seeing couples of various ages become husband and wife, but sometimes it is the slightly older generation that put the real romance and love into a their wedding day.

“We need help but we are oldies” was the start of an email I received earlier this year from a very special lady who had indeed found love again. From the moment I met the couple, Michael and Jean it was obvious they were "in love".

"Why not" was the start of a unique conversation, quickly followed by at "our age it's the small things that make us happy" This is not a couple starting life together, Audrey and James were celebrating 60 years together, 3 children and a brood of grandchildren. Audrey has a wicked sense of humour, when I asked her what she wanted on her day she said "Champagne and loads of it" at her original wedding there was no alcohol, simply due to marrying on a shoe string.

So is love in your later years any better or just different. Does it matter if it is second, third or fourth time around or should we say just another chance at happiness -

Love is beautiful at any age...

When the weather turns..... bring on the WELLIES!

So you have the dream wedding dress and sparkly shoes, said I do and just as you step on the grass for some amazing photos.......your pure white shoes start to sink in the mud - not a good look at all.

Be a bang on trend bride and buy some funky wellies to avoid the above scene, whether you choose pure white bridal wellies with Swarovski Crystals or loud and proud multi coloured wellies you will be grateful of them on your special day.



The latest trend for winter 2010 is to include the funky footwear in your photographs, maybe even kit out all your bridesmaids in matching wellies. But no matter whether it is rain or shine you will be glad you bought them....
