When operating in perfect harmony the work of a talented team of wedding suppliers will bring their couple’s love to the fore for all assembled to see. Here, this is evident in the romantic flowing dress, the glowing make-up look, and elegant venue worthy of a period drama. Combined with the scrumptious-looking cake, the stunning venue styling, beautiful stationery and gorgeous floral design, this shoot brings all the “wows.”

Shoot coordinator Joanne Fenna of Bliss Wedding Shows, organisers of the must-visit North West Wedding Show, knew exactly the suppliers she wanted to enlist for this labour of love. She tells us, “It’s so important to book the wedding suppliers who know what you want and understand you as a person. It’s the same principle for a photo shoot, everybody just clicked and the result was pretty spectacular.”

Couples could legally get married anywhere - legal comment

The UK Government has unveiled a new consultation to reform the wedding laws in England and Wales which is exploring how wedding ceremonies are conducted, particularly looking at wedding venues. The proposals are seeking to modernise the outdated legislation in this area which will eventually provide couples with greater freedom to decide where and how they will get married. At present, when a couple gets married, they need to have their legal ceremony in a licensed building or a registered place of worship. The existing laws have a further requirement that couples must ensure the individual officiating their wedding ceremony is either an authorised religious minister or a civil registrar.

From best mates to distant relatives: Brits reveal the wedding gift hierarchy

How much should you spend on a wedding gift? It seems the answer depends on just how well you know the happy couple. New research from One4all Gift Cards has revealed that almost half of Brits (49%) would spend less on a wedding gift if they were not particularly close to the couple. The relationship came out ahead of travel and accommodation costs (38%) and paying for a hen or stag do (28%) when it comes to factors influencing how much guests are prepared to spend. For those closest to them, Brits consider an average of £77 per person to be an acceptable wedding gift. The most popular amount was between £50 and £100, selected by 43% of respondents, while 36% believe spending up to £50 is perfectly acceptable. Just 5% would spend more than £200.
