Individual Bridesmaids Dresses

Written By: David - Oct• 26•11

One of the biggest headaches for the bride that has a number of adult bridesmaids is finding a bridesmaids dress that all her ladies will be happy with. It seems that everyone has their own idea on what is flattering, and everyone has a part of their body they’d rather not draw attention to.

One of the best ways to avoid this issue is to give your bridesmaids some basic guidelines, such as a colour and a dress length, and then let them choose the style that best suits their figure.

The range of bridesmaids dresses from BHS makes this task particularly easy with their fabulous selection of affordable and co-ordinating bridesmaids dresses. Pictured are the Alicia bridesmaids dress, the Violetta bridesmaids dress, the Cecily bridesmaids dress, and the Eve bridesmaids dress, all in Fuchsia.

Check out more colours and styles on the BHS website.

New Monsoon Wedding Dress Collection

Written By: David - Oct• 18•11

We still think that Monsoon is one of the best places to shop for a high-street wedding dress and we’re very excited about the launch of this season’s collection.

On first inspection our favourite style has to be this gorgeous gold floral print dress, which is unusual enough to make it a memorable wedding dress whist still retaining its bridal elegance.

The Kika Bridal Gown is fully lined and has a halter neck that ties at the back. The pleating at the bust and the sash that cascades down the front are both very flattering. The warm gold tones make it ideal for a winter or christmas wedding, but the floral design makes it equally suitable for a spring event.

At just £160 this gold wedding dress fits easily into our ‘wedding dresses under £200′ category and will leave you plenty of room in your budget for accessories.

Check out the Monsoon website for more details.

Written By: David - Oct• 13•11

We feature plenty of vintage wedding jewellery and accessories on Budget Wedding Ideas as the popularity of vintage styling looks set to continue over the coming years.

We often look for dramatic statement pieces to dress up a simple gown, or to fill the space between a strapless dress and an up do.

However, if you are looking for something simple and beautiful to complement a vintage style dress with a deep v-neck, this gorgeous long silver pendant from Bags of Sparkle could be perfect for you.

The silver chain is adjustable from 29.5 inches to 32 inches, and the beautiful pendant features sparkly white opalescent stones. The necklace costs just £12, so you’ll have plenty of room left in your budget for earrings or a bracelet.

Budget Wedding Cakes

Written By: David - Oct• 12•11

Most couples like the tradition of having a wedding cake, and it forms a beautiful centrepiece for your wedding as well as providing a tasty snack for your guests.

If you’d like to save money on your wedding cake here are five possibilities:

1. Make Your Own Wedding Cake
Budget wedding cake
Making your own wedding cake, or asking a talented sister, aunt or mother to make it with you can really personalise it as well as saving you money. If you’re not much of a baker consider a cup cake tower which is the easiest option, but with a little practise anyone can make a simple wedding cake.

2. Buy a Supermarket Cake

Supermarkets often sell simple white iced celebration cakes in a variety of flavours for reasonable prices. These can be stacked or placed on cake stands and decorated simply with ribbons or fresh flowers and costume jewellery to make them fit in with your wedding theme.

3. Ask for Cake as a Gift

Most couples have close friends or relatives who would like to buy them something significant for their wedding, or would like to make a contribution to the day; Aunts and Uncles are often a good source of such presents. Drop a few hints and see if anyone would be interested in buying your wedding cake as your gift.

4. Fake the Cake

Some couples have a completely fake wedding cake, while others just have one that is a lot smaller than they need to feed all their guests. They then have tray cakes in the same colour icing behind the scenes that can be cut up and served to guests, and which cost a lot less than decorative wedding cakes.

Combine Cake and Dessert

Most guests are too full after the wedding breakfast to really enjoy the wedding cake, so combining the dessert course and the wedding cake makes perfect sense. Choose a cake that is suitable for dessert such as a wedding cheesecake or ice cream cake.
