As I sat down to write this, I wasn’t sure of where to start although I knew what I wanted to say and the impression I wanted to leave. I imagine this is how many brides feel when sitting down to plan their weddings. It’s a big job, it’s important and you want to get it right. So to get started with my editor’s letter and make it as meaningful as I could, I decided to speak from the heart and share the things I think are most important for those planning a wedding. 1. Money, money, money. The thing we never quite have enough of but manage to spend in our minds even before it has entered our bank accounts. Despite careful budgeting, many of us get caught out…

Heather Anschau, editor at Wedded Wonderland, offers her take on this year’s hottest trend — the bridal bazaar: a magical hotpot of colours and patterns perfect for a day with a difference. “At Wedded Wonderland we never do things in half measures, which is why I’ve embraced the bazaar trend with such passion. It’s all about exoticism, romance and mystery, with golds, jewel-toned colour palettes and rich textures. To interpret this trend for a bride, it’s important to layer. Think belts, hand jewels, gold earrings and embellished veils. “This season it’s important to be bold and combine a high-fashion splurge with beautiful one-off bazaar or market steals. The secret to any trend is to interpret it using your own personal style philosophy and never buy anything that doesn’t make you…

Whether you consider yourself a natural in front of the camera or perhaps a little camera shy, there are some key things you can do to make sure your wedding pictures turn out more beautiful than you could have ever imagined. Newly-wed model and TV host Yana Portnoy (now Yana Dutka) is no stranger to being in front of the camera, however when planning her wedding she did feel some nerves creep in when thinking about taking her wedding pictures with her new hubby Dave. This is completely natural. While you might have had photos taken together, including the odd “shameless selfi e” or two, there is a completely different dynamic when stepping in front of a professional camera, says Yana. A great way to get over the shutter jitters…

Waking up bright and shiny-eyed on your wedding day, you feel like a princess whose dreams are about to come true. A sense of giddiness overwhelms you, combined with that slight pang of anxiousness as you realise your fairy tale is only moments away.

Falling in droplets from the sky is your ultimate wedding crasher, the one thing that is completely out of your control and can wash away your perfect day.

SHAUN & TAMEIKA | 07.03.15 | GLEN ERIN AT LANCEFIELD Shaun and Tameika first met in a taxi line and have been going in the same direction ever since. They always had a feeling they would end up married, but they were still quite young and both wanted to make a life for themselves. Six years, a house, two degrees and a beloved four-legged son later, the couple went away for a weekend to Lorne in Victoria. They were getting ready to go out when Shaun noticed something was missing from Tameika’s outfit. She was surprised when he got down on bended knee and proposed. “Throughout dinner, I kept looking at my ring with this ridiculous smile on my face,” Tameika says. The couple waited another two years before they…

I believe that love can be expressed in so many different ways. Think of all the romantic ballads we’ve heard over the years, or notes penned lovingly through the centuries. A wedding is a beautiful extension of this expression of love, but all too often the focus tends to be on the whirlwind of theming packages, costs and schedules that ensue. I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to remember to stay true to who you are when planning your special day; your wedding is such a beautiful opportunity to express your love for one another in a way that is representative of you as a pair. There are many elements that set the stage for you to build on with expressions of yourselves. Think music, colour, theming or…

A seaside wedding with plenty of love and laughter FALLING IN LOVE Claire and Alex literally “fell” in love on a university exchange program, when Claire stumbled over her husband-to-be’s foot when entering a bar in Austria. Landing on an icy surface of snow, sparks fl ew instantly despite the chill in the air. Little did Claire know that she had taken her most life-changing tumble. LONG-DISTANCE ROMANCE Coming from opposite sides of the world, Claire from Australia and Alex from Sweden, the couple committed to a long-distance relationship while they fi nished their studies. Distance only made their hearts grow fonder, as the day after completing her course Claire jumped on a plane to Europe, Alex eagerly waiting for her on the other side. PEAK PROPOSAL Amid breathtaking scenic…

We’re all looking for something a little different for our wedding day, and something to have and to hold (excuse the pun) when looking back at those beautiful memories. Photos from the big day are the best refl ection of that so it’s no surprise a lot of thought goes into the type of photographer you want. While clichés are there for a reason, consider thinking outside the box and going for something unique and extraordinary. Take a look at different photographers’ portfolios to see which style suits yours and which photographer is willing to be fl exible. This person will capture unforgettable moments so it is important they capture the right ones, or at least the right ones for you. Talking to the photographer beforehand and explaining the type…

The key to a perfect wedding day is to use businesses that display the distinctive gold accreditation logo. The bridal industry would have to be the most multifaceted and dynamic of all industries, touching the hearts and emotions of so many people and affecting them in very powerful ways. A wedding day is a life-changing event and is, therefore, accorded the necessary reverence. Over the years, too many weddings have been spoilt by retailers not providing what they originally had promised. In turn, this has tainted the reputation of what is mostly a highly professional industry committed to its clients. It was the Australian Bridal Service that realised a difference needed to be recognised between the reputable and the not-so-reputable retailers. The Australian Bridal Service knows that when a bride-to-be…

Wise words From the word go in a relationship, do little things daily and often, rather than infrequent big grand gestures. That way you create a culture of positivity and a solid friendship. Start with how you talk to each other — every day, check in and debrief. Most importantly, put the stress on listening rather than giving solutions so you are siding with your partner. Throughout or at the end of the day, say three things that you appreciate about them — the clothes they wore, that they picked up the kids or sorted out their phone bill. Make sure there is a lot of fondness and appreciation happening. Fight fair When you raise an issue, do it softly. Good listening comes from good talking. Use “I feel” statements…

Your wedding day is considered one of the most important days of your life. The memories and the photographs will last a lifetime and naturally every woman wants to look her best. When shopping for a wedding dress, it’s easy to go for something you love, however what you love and what suits your body shape don’t always match.
