There are many romantic outdoor places you can choose. Places especially with water and pool are for more choice.

Your great time is approaching and you need to buy your wedding & engagement ring. First of all, don’t buy the first diamond engagement ring in the first jewelry store see, shop around to compare prices, knowledge and lies. Try to buy a loose diamond, outside a setting, so you can view the diamond better. You’ll select the setting after. Ignore salespeople Jedi mind tricks, like “this diamond won’t be here when you come back.” Why not? It was here when you walked in? It’s highly unlikely of all the rings in there, a buyer will come in the next few days, and buy your wedding ring. This sales tactic is VERY powerful, you must resist it.

There’s a reason for everything and if you don’t buy anything and walk out, it means there’s a better wedding ring somewhere else, for a better price. Ignore the regular car salesman tactics, they tell you that you won’t find it cheaper anywhere else. Simplicity is wisdom.

It is your wedding day, you are going to be the princess of the day. You want to have everything to be perfect and wonderful. Of course you want your gown be to be like in fairytails. 

So, first of all, sit down with your fiancé and/or your parents and anyone else that will contribute financially to your day and decide how much you want to budget for your wedding attire. Of course, everything depends on your financial situation. For some idea of the prices you could pay in the UK, an off-the-peg gown from a UK high street shop could, at the time of writing, set you back anything up to around £400. A middle-of-the-range designer wedding dress could cost between £300 and £1500, and haute couture and other designer dresses can cost thousands of pounds. One important thing to bear in mind is that if you don’t tell people, nobody will know what you spent on your dress - so budget for what you can afford. You will certainly be able to find something suitable in every price range, and it is best to set off with a budget in mind so you don’t accidentally try on and fall in love with a designer number that completely breaks the bank.

Remember, even with a limited budget, you can wear wonderful a wedding gown. All you need is to have some knowledge and preparation. There are numerous options when it comes to buying a wedding dress, and which you go for will depend on your budget, taste, and the amount of time you have before the big day.

Finally you are living your dreams… You are engaged! Yet, when the initial giddy euphoria wears off you will come to realise that you actually need to plan your wedding.

This Guide can help with some tips, or possibly you can engage the services of a professional wedding-planner to help guide you through the minefield that is Wedding Ettiquette - on the other hand you could ignore all the rules and do your own thing. Not surprisingly, one of the most exciting parts of your planning is deciding what you will wear on the big day and this entry aims to help brides-to-be with the bewildering choice of gowns they will soon be faced with. This article only deals with wedding dresses in the western tradition - other cultures have equally varied styles to choose from and indeed some brides are happy to take their inspiration from every source.

What type of wedding dress do you wish?

Part of this decision will come from the overall style of wedding that you want; is it a very grand affair in a huge cathedral, a sophisticated evening event with a civil ceremony, a simple church wedding, a beach wedding in the tropics or a funky day in a modern hotel? This will help to inform your choice but by no means limits it. If you are having a registry office wedding but have always dreamed of a full princess-style dress with a veil and the whole works then there is no reason why you shouldn’t have it. Similarly and naturally, if your wedding is in a grand building, that doesn’t mean you need a dress of Princess Diana proportions if you don’t feel comfortable in one. You may not choose a dress at all, but instead you may feel more comfortable in a smart suit. If you have a theme for your wedding,1 that may dictate the style of your outfit - the choice is yours! Before you hit the shops it is also worth talking to your fiancé about what he likes and dislikes. As well as looking wonderful for yourself, you also want your husband-to-be to love the way you look when he sees you in your finery. He is going to be the one to love you for a lifetime.

Wedding preparation is the most exciting yet the most stressful period of time of our lives. So, it is important to know what to do beforehandly: 

*When planning the guest list, keep in mind that you do not need to invite your co-workers. If there is some one that you work with that you are very close to, that is one thing but inviting 100 people from the office is just a waste of your money on the invitations because only the ones that you are close to will come anyway.

* The first step in wedding planning is deciding how much money you are going to spend and make a budget. When planning your wedding budget allow 25% more for extras that you haven’t planned for. That’s usually the case.

* Order the invitations four months in advance. Invitations have to be mailed four to six weeks in advance. Take the invitations to the post office to be weighted for sufficient postage. Four months is reasonable amount of time space to get things have fixed.
