LET'S face it. You’ve been dreaming of your wedding dress your whole life. You drew it on the back of cereal boxes; you etched it into the margin of your maths homework; and you slowed to a shuffle as you passed the bridal shop on the high street. You only get one wedding day. These photographs will stand on your mum’s mantelpiece until the end of time. No pressure now, but this dress is kind of a big deal.Lanvin have shown an inclination towards elaborate bow-backed dresses. You know, the type that used to fasten your party frocks. They’re theatrical, girly, and a lot of fun. What’s more, when you’re standing at the altar, with your back to your guests, it’s important to give them something pretty to look at too. This is your big day, so search the boutiques until you find a gown which is going to make you feel as special as you look.

Wedding Stories Travel
We had a group of sixty people coming for the wedding from Ireland,
England and Australia, out of this we had 4 children under 12 and 3 babies under 2 years.
Everyone was staying for the week so we opted to stay in the beach resort of
Kamari. This beachfront location was more suitable for families and larger
groups with plenty of good hotels, restaurants, shops and bars to choose
from. This area offers very reasonable prices for accommodation, food &
drink .
The night before the wedding we had an area reserved in The Love Boat bar
in Kamari for the group, we had a fantastic night/early morning of drinks
dancing & singing ! We also loved The Hook bar which was one of our
favourite spots.
And if the ceremony didn’t bring a tear to your eye then the reception certainly will, not to mention give you all a whole heap of inspirational ideas to steal.

Wedding travel
Bellagio, Las Vegas
We chose to get married abroad so our closest friends could celebrate with us for a whole week rather than just one day. Las Vegas is so different, has something for everyone and isn’t too expensive.
I tied the knot at Rocky’s, an ultra-romantic resort. Our wedding coordinator made it easy to organise and everything was tailored to what we wanted. In the days leading up to the wedding we met with the celebrant, had hair and make-up trials, and picked our photographer and videographer.
We said our vows on the beach in a secluded cove as the sun set. There was amazing attention to detail – a barrier of poles and reeds in the sand, a beautiful arch and sala, an aisle of flower petals and banana cones of rose petals for the guests. It was so relaxed, so romantic ... so perfect!
The evening reception was a Thai banquet buffet in a private room with terrace. Staff made sure it all ran smoothly and the party went on all night. I’d recommend getting married in Thailand. It’s stress-free, romantic, beautiful and personal – simply perfect.
