September (My Birthday Month)
I was born in September but would I want my wedding to be on my birthday? Someone I went to college with actually got married on her birthday.
The positives are
- Your partner should never forget your wedding anniversary.
- You can combine your birthday and wedding an have a extra big event. Only have to plan one event instead of 2.
Cons
- People could forget its your birthday too.
- Guests might feel they have to buy you 2 presents, a wedding gift and a birthday present.
Black Tie Wedding.
Black tie weddings are becoming more and more popular. However does a black tie wedding mean you have to wear black? A black tie wedding is a formal event (normally in the evening) and the dress code is floor length gowns for the women and tuxedos for the men. It does not mean you have to wear black. If the bride and groom want you to wear black they would stipulate that on the invitations.
Does The Venue Impact Your Choice Of Dress?
When you come to us for a wedding appointment we will always ask where the wedding is. Yes a certain style of dress will suit you best but does it tie in with the theme of the wedding? For example would you wear the same style of dress to a beach wedding abroad that you would wear to a church wedding in the UK? Probably not, so my answer to the question above, yes, the venue will impact your choice of dress.

Jewel Colours
As the new season stock arrives we are seeing a lot of jewel colours and tones. Jewel colours are defined as colours with rich, vibrant hues inspired by precious gemstones, including emerald green, ruby red, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple. These colours are very popular when it comes to autumn/winter weddings.
Hair And Make Up.
When it comes to hot weather you need to think about what make up you are going to use. Avoid liquid products as they might run, try a powder product instead. Also use a setting spray to keep your make up in place. Make sure your make up also has a spf in it.
Another obvious tip is to put your hair up, this will keep the back of your neck nice and cool.
Shade.
If you are organizing a wedding and you want it to be outside have you got a shaded area for your guests. Wedding ceremonies tend to be between 12-2, the hottest period of the day. Are you shaded by trees or a marquee? Or could you hand out parasols for your guests?
Clothing.
If you have a summer wedding and it could be very hot why not choose a dress that is a light fabric and a pale colour.
Keep Hydrated.
When it is as hot as it has been it is so important to keep hydrated. Therefore make sure you drink plenty of water.
