March/April 2025 |
|
Welcome to our March/April issue! I love writing this issue partly because I adore spring weddings, but it also coincides with the beautiful bridal collections being released. I got married a few years ago, and while I like the idea of trying on lots of stunning dresses, I also know how stressful finding the perfect gown can be. I had no idea what style I wanted, but after lots of trial and error, my wonderful consultant helped me pick my dream A-line design. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of choice available, make sure you listen to your consultant. They have years of experience and have helped brides of every shape and size find their dream gown, so they will know what looks good on you even if you don’t yourself. Go to your appointment with a rough idea of what you like, but try to keep an open mind. On paper, it might not be what you want, but it might still be the one. If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve put together a dreamy fashion section to help give you heaps of inspiration.
Happy planning!

Everything you need to know about pre-nups |
|
While pre-nups were once seen as only for the wealthy, they are becoming increasingly popular as a way to provide financial clarity and peace of mind, especially if you are a business owner, have inheritance or assets acquired prior to the marriage. In my view, prenuptial agreements should be seen like car or wedding insurance, arranged in the event that something should happen, but not with the expectation that it is needed.
