Welcome to Guides for Brides

Alison Hargreaves

Alison Hargreaves

Surrey is a wonderful place to live – close to the excitement of London yet with some of the prettiest English countryside on your doorstep. It’s a great place to celebrate your wedding too, with hundreds of high quality wedding suppliers – listed in this latest issue of the Surrey Guides for Brides - all offering their services to make your wedding day extra special.

As well as supplier details, you’ll also find three inspirational ‘real life’ stories of brides and grooms who tied the knot in Surrey. And if reading this version of the Guide has left you wanting more, whether it’s more information, more suppliers, or more inspiration, turn to the inside back cover to find out where else you can find Guides for Brides. As well as our website, we can now be found on facebook and twitter, and we’ve also launched our own iPhone app. Of course, if you want to meet suppliers in the flesh, come along to one of the bustling wedding fairs, which can be found listed on pages 87-88.

I hope that, however you use us, you’ll find Guides for Brides your perfect planning partner in the build-up to your special day

Did you know that there are details of local and national wedding fairs on our website: www.guidesforbrides.co.uk

Romance is still big news in bridal styles with lace, embroidery, flower details and soft lines keeping the feel ultra-feminine. But if you're not sure how girly you want to go, look for dresses with simple lines, with just a nod to the current trend: perhaps an embroidered train, or a fabric flower detail at the waist or hem. Be true to yourself and you'll look beautiful.


Suzy remembers Jon’s romantic marriage proposal with obvious delight. On a weekend away to celebrate Suzy’s 25th birthday, she was bowled over by his thoughtfulness, packing a picnic hamper for a day out at Longleat, complete with mini bottles of fizz and straws. In the evening, during a walk in the hotel’s arboretum, he pulled out a ring and asked her to marry him.

The wedding itself lived up to the proposal in terms of romance, with Suzy opting for a softly feminine, Grecian style dress and a beautiful handmade headdress. The RAC Club in Epsom provided the perfect venue for their reception, and in keeping with the theme of automobile heritage, Suzy’s uncle kindly chauffeured them from Leatherhead Registry office in his specially polished Jaguar. The venue was beautifully decorated with tulips arranged by a family friend, who’s training as a florist, and favours handmade by Suzy herself.

After a delicious wedding breakfast, guests enjoyed the chocolate and chocolate orange flavoured individual wedding cakes, entertained by live band Dlugokecki – ‘Friends of mine’, explained Suzy, ‘amazing!’ The perfect end to a perfect day.

Catering Hire Chair Covers

Quick, cost effective and very stylish, chair covers are the quickest way to transform a venue or bring a colour scheme to life. Take a photo of the chair style when you first visit the venue, which you can then email out to chair cover companies. Sashes will be extra but can really make a dramatic difference, so do budget for these too.

Fitness

Many brides - and grooms - are motivated by their forthcoming marriage to take up a new exercise regime, to ensure they look their best for the big day, and the great news is that there have never been more options for getting fit - from pilates to spinning, from salsa to yoga.

Joining a local gym is a great idea, as most will offer classes as well as access to equipment. Look out for introductory offers, and try to timetable a couple of slots a week to make sure you get the most out of your membership. Little and often is better than sudden bursts!

Gifts & Gift Lists

Whilst most couple will still opt for a traditional gift list, usually held by a large department store, this is no longer the only option!Why not combine a traditional list with one of the following:

A charitable gift list, such as those offered by Oxfam?

A number of additional, smaller lists at more specialist outlets, such as an art gallery or local delicatessen?

An 'experience' gift list, where guests can buy you a flying lesson or theatre tickets?

A list of donations, to assist with the cost of the wedding and/or the honeymoon? Make these specific, such as the first meal on your honeymoon.

Great Ideas

If you are looking to visit any Wedding Fairs in your area, look in the diary on pages 87-88 or why not visit our popular website for more information www.guidesforbrides.co.uk


A Warm Welcome!

Wherever your guests are staying, it's a lovely idea to prepare welome packs for each of them if time and budget allows. You could include a map to the ceremony and reception venues, a timetable for the day, a list of taxi numbers, a 'thank you for coming' note and perhaps a packet of Alka Seltzer for the morning after. Pop everything into a plain white paper carrier and tie with ribbons to tie in with your overall colour scheme, and finish with adding a 'with love from...' label.

Hats Health & Beauty

If your mum or mother-in-law to be is nervous about wearing a hat, suggest that they visit a specialist milliner to try different styles. They will not only be experts at making hats, but will also be able to tell at a glance the styles which will suit individual face shapes and personalities, as well as suggesting colour ideas to tone or match an outfit. Usually clients will have chosen an outfit before choosing the hat, but there's no reason not to use a great hat as the starting point.

Hen & Stag Honeymoons

With everyone's pockets being squeezed by the recession, be wary of overly expensive hen and stag weekends. The days of a mini-break in Las Vegas or a spa weekend in Paris may have temporarily gone, but there's no reason not to have fun.

Look at activities closer to home or consider a weekend camping - or try out glamping (glamorous camping) with your mates.

If you're stuck for ideas, don't hesitate to contact a speciailst Hen and Stag Party company who will have lots of ideas to suit every preference and every budget.

If you're pushed for time with all the wedding preparations, it's well worth using the services of a traditional travel agent to help you plan your honeymoon, rather than spending hours on the internet trying to find the perfect deal.

Top 10 Tips

from CEO Grant Macintyre on choosing the perfect wedding rings:

1. START THE SEARCH EARLYSome rings can take four-to-six weeks to order, especially if you require bespoke or shaped rings, ideally start shopping at least three months before your big day.2. DECIDE ON YOUR BUDGETWedding rings are arguably the most important wedding purchase, so it’s a good idea to be sure to have sufficient budget for the rings you want. 3. MATCHING OR INDIVIDUAL?If you have different taste in the style of wedding ring you like, you should each choose an individual ring that appeals to you. However if you both fall in love with the same style and it will also match with the engagement ring then a matching pair could be for you.4. CHOOSE THE METALThe most popular metals are 18ct white, yellow or rose gold; platinum and palladium. The bride’s ring will usually be the same metal as the engagement ring as they are likely to be worn together. 5. CHOOSE YOUR RING WIDTHThe bride’s wedding ring will be about the same width as the engagement ring. The most popular width for gents’ rings is five to six millimeters, men with large hands may like a wedding ring up to ten millimeters wide. 6. WEDDING RING STYLEThere is a huge variety of styles to choose from, however the most popular one is still the plain wedding ring – a classic that never dates. 7. HANDMADE, SHAPED OR BESPOKE?When the engagement ring is an unusual shape it is often necessary to have a wedding ring specially made to fit. 8. DIAMOND-SET OR PLAIN BANDS?Eternity rings and half-eternity rings have become very popular choices for ladies’ wedding rings, particularly if the engagement ring is diamond-set on the shoulders. Many men also like to have a diamond set in their wedding band.9. HAVE YOUR FINGERS MEASUREDIt’s very important to have your fingers professionally measured before purchasing wedding rings, particularly if you are going to buy online. 10. SHOP @ LIME BLUE DIAMOND STOREOur wedding ring experts are happy to measure your fingers, answer your questions and can help you decide on the right style and metal. Your wedding bands are forever, choose carefully with Lime Blue.

Current trends in bridal jewellery are similar to those on the general catwalk. Statement or 'bib' necklaces look fantastic with a strapless gown, but keep other elements, such as veil and bouquet, as simple as possible.

Alternatively, leave your neck bare and opt for 'chandelier' style earrings instead. Make sure you wear your hair short or in an up-do for maximum effect.

Morning suits still dominate the menswear market for weddings, with good reason. Top hat, waistcoat and tails are flattering on most men, and add a touch of vintage charm to photos.

However, if you want something a little more contemporary, why not commission a bespoke lounge suit for the special day? It's unlikely to cost as much as the bridal gown, and may be the only chance your groom ever has of going to an old fashioned tailor. Allow plenty of time for the suit to be made and altered if necessary.

Whatever type of suit he chooses, florals remain big news for shirts, waistcoats and ties. Do talk colours to ensure they don't clash with the overall scheme.


Wearing an ultra smart pinstripe suit, James was the epitome of Joanna’s dream man when she met him briefly at a client’s house, and she accidentally let slip how much she liked men in suits. Romance followed and the couple tied the knot earlier this year in the beautiful surroundings of Cowdray, on the Surrey Sussex border.

“We rented cottages on Cowdray Estate for the weekend,” explains Joanna. “We had a champagne picnic on the Saturday watching the polo and got married at Cowdray on the Sunday. Originally we were going to get married in France, but someone told me to go and see the walled garden at Cowdray Park before I made that decision. I went with James and my mother - and we fell in love with it’

James, of course, wore a suit and Joanna chose romantic lace and chiffon. The food was designed to enable the guests to spend as much time in the garden as possible, with lots of canapés and a variety of barbecue skewers. After dinner, the happy couple set off in a hot-air balloon for a romantic ride, which turned out to be a little longer than anticipated, thanks to strong winds. It didn’t matter. ‘James and I had the most perfect day of our lives,’ remembers Joanna. What more could you ask?

Mother of Bride

From the moment you name the 'happy day', your relationship with your mum will enter unchartered territory - and it will be worthwhile to remember this in the weeks to come, as everything becomes more hectic.

In previous generations, the mother of the bride would have undertaken almost all the organisation of her daughter's wedding, choosing everything from the venue to the caterers to finalising the guest list. These days, she is most likely to find herself on the sidelines of the preparation, not wanting to appear unhelpful, but equally not wanting to interfere.

One way to keep her onside is to draw up a list of all the jobs with which you'd appreciate her help, but be clear from the outset that the final decisions will ulitmately be yours. Do thank her along the way for her help and support, and remember to buy her a special thank you gift to present to her on the big day.

It's also a lovely idea to take time out of your own busy schedule to help her choose her outfit for the day. Book a couple of appointments at suitable boutiques where she'll be able to assemble a whole outfit, and make sure you have time for a girly lunch too.

Let the Music Play

The advent of internet music downloads has made it much easier to check out the quality of music on offer from live bands advertising their services to brides and grooms! However, it's also well worth checking out references to ensure that the band is also punctual, polite and has the charisma to get a party underway.

Don't forget to keep your venue informed of who you've booked, when they'll be arriving, what they need to set up, and what they'll want in the way of parking. In terms of refreshments, it's only polite to offer them drinks, but they won't expect to join you for the wedding breakfast.

Without doubt, the most lasting memento of your wedding will be the photographs, so plan...and budget...accordingly. Begin by talking to all the photographers who interest you and ask to see complete albums of previous weddings. Most will offer a range of standard packages. If none of the packages quite suits, don't be afraid to ask for an itemised quote detailed around your own requirements.

If money is tight, ask about the possiblity of supplying a CD with copyright for the images, rather than an album and a set number of prints. On the other hand, if you have a generous budget, think about extending coverage to include the morning preparations and the evening party too.

Want some really cute pictures of your younger guests? Provide a 'dressing up' box with veils, top hats and 'bouquets' of fake flowers. They'll have lots of fun and provide great shots for the album!


Terrified of the camera? Feel you always look too fat, too old, too pink in photos? Fear not. For probably the first time in your life, you'll be being photographed by a professional, who is dedicated to making you look great on your big day. Listen to what he or she asks you to do when posing for formal shots. Often a slight tilt of the head or a shift in the way you stand will make the world of difference to the finished result.

Even in the reportage shots, the photographer will want you to look your best, and will probably delete any less flattering pictures from the final edit. If you don't want him to do this, and think you'd rather see them all, make sure you let him or her know well ahead of the big day. Some photographers also offer a retouching - or airbrushing - service to remove any unsightly shadows or unkind spots which suddenly appear!

For winter weddings, remember the light will start to fade as early as 3pm, so schedule your day accordingly and make sure there's indoor alternatives in the event of heavy rain.


Going it Alone

Following Kate and Will’s wedding back in April, the fashion magazine Grazia came in for criticism for having ‘photoshopped’ one of the official photos for their cover shot. They had wanted a photo of Kate on her own, without William, and in editing the Prince out of the shot, had inadvertently made Kate look thinner, hence all the fuss!

However, the story raises an interesting point, and one well worth thinking about when discussing ‘must-have’ photos with your photographer. As well as the formal family groups, which most couples include alongside mostly reportage photography, do you want any shots of the wedding party members individually? Remember, you’ll all be looking lovely, and have the services of a professional photographer to hand, so why not seize the moment, and include a handful of portrait shots too?

Has your photographer been particularly helpful before your wedding? Why don't you leave feedback for other brides & grooms on www.guidesforbrides.co.uk


There are so many photographers around, even talented friends and family, you’d think finding your wedding photographer would be easy. Ask yourself a few simple questions: Is the photographer professionally qualified? What style of photographs are you looking for, and do you actually like the photographer and his/her work? Consult two or three photographers, and make no firm decisions at the first meeting.

Once you’ve chosen your photographer take time to discuss your requirements. Ensure you receive written terms and conditions

of business before parting with any money, and ask the photographer if any cancellation charges apply.

The British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) is the leading qualifying and governing photographic body in the UK and is one of several associations that photographers may join. It’s a not-for-profit organisation that educates, qualifies and supports professional photographers. BIPP qualifications are recognised across the world as a benchmark of excellence, and members of BIPP are bound by a strict code of conduct.


Down On Paper

Wedding stationery has never been more fun! From pop-up designs to cheeky cartoons, the

days of copperplate on white or cream card have all but gone. Even if you're looking for something classic,

the hot trend is to inroduce a note of colour, hinting at your colour scheme for the big day. Choose a coloured ink, add a pretty border, or finish with an organza ribbon. As well as name place cards, orders of service and reply cards, many companies will also provide a printed A3 or A2 table plan to display at the reception. You'll obviously need to finalise the table plan well ahead of time, so this can be printed and delivered. Keep track of numbers using a spreadsheet, and don't forget to order spare invites

if you're planning to have a 'reserve' guest list. Top tip: put a 'reply by' date on the invitation.

Unless all your guests are staying at the reception venue, the chances are some will need to head home in a taxi after an evening of celebration.

Help things run smoothly on the big night by chatting to taxi firms ahead of time. If budget allows, pre-book taxis for the time the reception is due to finish, and some for half an hour later to pick up any guests who are reluctant to leave.

You may also want to send out telephone numbers in advance to guests, or include a list in their welcome packs if you're preparing one. Ensure a list is pinned up in the venue, and appoint one of the ushers to ensure everyone gets home safely.


When Rebecca said yes to Robert’s proposal on Portsmouth beach one Spring day, they both knew at once where they wanted to hold the celebrations. Their very first weekend away had been at the beautiful and historic Wotton House in Dorking, Surrey, nestled within 20 acres of listed grounds, and the newly engaged couple just knew it would make the perfect venue for the ceremony and the reception.

They were proved completely correct, and the hotel, with its helpful staff, imaginative approach to catering, and first class Toastmaster, proved a hit with family and friends alike. Rebecca kept things local, choosing her dress from Amaryllis in Godalming, and ordering the flowers – mostly lilies - from Abbey Florists in Farncombe. ‘Lilies are the favourite flower in my family,’ she explains.

The sapphire blue colour scheme was brought beautifully to life by décor specialists Réveries, who supplied backdrops, drapes, chair covers and mood lighting, and a touch of unexpected humour graced the top of the four tiered cake – with bride and groom depicted in the bath!

Looking for a really fun twist to your wedding? Here's the latest ideas to keep a big grin on your face all day!

1. Hire an ice-cream van instead of serving dessert. Alternatively, install a frozen yoghurt bar with a choice of toppings.

2. Retro sweet bars are a great way to keep energy levels high as you bop the night away. Talk to specialist suppliers or fill glass jars from your local pick'n'mix.

3. Hire in a carousel - or bumper cars - to keep guests amused throughout the day. They also provide great backdrops for the wedding photos.

4. Helium filled balloons in bright colours always add a touch of youthful fun. Tie them to the backs of chairs, and lanuch a 'balloon race' at the end of the evening, with reply cards tied on each one, and see which flies furthest!

5. Hire giant garden games such as Jenga or Connect Four. Alternatively, organise guests into teams for light hearted egg and spoon races or even a game of rounders.

6. Save on evening entertainment by setting up an 'open mic' session for your guests. Top tip: limit each slot to 10 minutes max!

If you cannot decide on which venue to contact first, why don't you read the many reviews shown on each venues' listing on our website www.guidesforbrides.co.uk

Once you've chosen your venue, do go back and visit at least a couple more times before the wedding day. It's almost impossible to take in everything on the first visit, and it will also give you the chance to talk to different members of staff. Find out who will be in charge on your day, but remember, their job is to make sure everything at the venue runs smoothly throughout the day/evening

If you are not sure you want to delegate this task to a friend or famliy member, think about employing the services of a wedding co-ordinator for the day itself. They will need a list of contact details, approximate timings and an understanding of what you're expecting. If all goes to plan, you may feel it's money wasted, but don't underestimate the peace of mind it will bring.

The Civil Choice - a note from Sabrina Bowe - Surrey Registration Service.

The beauty of opting for a civil wedding or partnership is the choice that it offers, both in terms of size and location, and the ceremony itself. From the effortless exchange of vows in simple surroundings with just two witnesses, to elaborate occasions in fairytale settings, civil ceremonies are as individual as every couple.

First you need to decide on the basics – such as the number of guests you wish to invite and the type of setting you would like – before making any other preparations. These requirements are vital in deciding where to have your ceremony, and the type of occasion you are planning for. The most memorable ceremonies are those with a personal touch – get family and friends involved by asking them to do a reading which means something to you and your partner – or write your own! Perhaps you know someone musical who would be honoured to play or sing a special piece.

• Once you have booked the Register Office or the Registrars to attend a licensed venue, you and your partner will be required to give a notice of marriage or civil partnership in person, to the Superintendent Registrar in the district in which you are living.

• In order to give a notice of marriage or partnership, you and your partner must

have lived in a registration district in England or Wales for at least eight nights immediately prior to giving notice. A fee will be charged and documents will need to be produced. After the day of giving notice, you must wait a minimum of a further 15 clear days before the ceremony can take place. Further details on the documentation required will be explained when you book.

• All readings and music must be approved by the Registrar in advance of the ceremony, and must not contain any religious connotations.

• Whilst licensed premises may have their own booking procedure, Surrey Registration Service may only be booked a maximum of two calendar years in advance.

• Ceremonies can take place Monday to Sunday at licensed premises, and Monday to Saturday at Register Offices (the smaller rooms may not be available on Saturdays).

For more information and to check availability, please contact the relevant Register Office using the details below. A list of licensed premises and further details are available on our website: www.surreycc.gov.uk/registrationservice

You will find a special feature on each of the Registration Service venues on the following pages. All venues approved for civil ceremonies and partnerships are marked * in the listings.

Church Weddings: a note from The Rt. Revd. Ian Brackley, Bishop of Dorking:

Recent research by the Church of Englandshowed that lots of people want to get married in church. Many couples feel thatchurch is the ‘right’ place to make such important promises to each other - but they’re not quite sure how to set about organising a church wedding.

Getting married in the Church of Englandhas just become easier. The Marriage Measure, which came into force on 1st October 2008, means that couples are no longer restricted to getting married only in their local parish church. This doesn’t mean you can choose a church quite like you might choose a hotel, but if you or your fiancé(e) have a connection with another church it is now more straightforward.

You’re welcome to marry in the Church of England whether or not you are christened and regardless of whether either of you go to church. You’ll need to contact the vicar or minister (see www.achurchnearyou.com to find out how) who will explain what is and isn’t possible and help you plan your special day. The church will charge a set fee, with possible optional extras such as a choir, bell-ringing, an organist and flowers.

You can find out a lot more about church weddings by visitingwww. yourchurchwedding.org

Want a wedding that's less harmful to the environment? The easiest way is to follow the rule of R's - reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reduce: the biggest environmental impact is likely to be guest travel, so reduce carbon emissions by encouraging guests to use public transport.

If you're really rural, lay on buses from the local town or railway station.

Re-use: hire what you can, or try and buy second-hand items. Embrace the true spirit of vintage and retro styleby sourcing crockery, linens and table vases from charity shops and jumble sales.

Recycle: ask your venue about their recycling policy. If you are opting for a marquee at home, provide recycling bins for glass bottles and plastic glasses if you're using them.
