Planning
You might need some help planning your big day- especially if you don’t have much time. Here are a few things to help make all that preparation easier.
Wedding planners
If you need some help planning your wedding or civil partnership, you can hire a wedding planner to lighten the load. Wedding planners can help with everything from flowers and catering to venues and honeymoons. Some can plan weddings at short notice, but the more time they have, the better. Cost varies depending on what you want, but they can be a great help. To find a wedding planner in Britain, visit Yellow Pages (www.yell.com/ucs/HomePageAction.do).
Gay Wedding Show
The Gay Wedding Show is Britain’s first, annual and official gay and lesbian wedding show. Launched in 2004, the show travels around Britain’s cities helping gay couples to arrange their ceremonies, legal information and Equality Issues and honeymoons. For more information and to buy tickets, visit the Gay Wedding Show (www.gayweddingshow.co.uk/index.htm).
Wedding cars
If you want to make a grand entrance, there’s no better way to do it than in a fabulous car. Whether its classic, modern, or just something a bit different, the right wedding car will make your day special. Cost varies depending on the type of car you’re after, but most are very reasonable at around £200. To find a wedding car company in Britain, visit County Wedding (www.countywedding.co.uk/counties/yorkshire/choices/cars.htm).
Wedding outfits
You can wear what you want to your wedding or civil partnership ceremony, but if it’s traditional dress you want, head for the shops. Many high street department stores have wedding sections, where you can find everything you need for your big day. If it’s something more luxurious you’re after, visit a designer store or boutique for the ultimate in luxury wedding clothes.
