Every bride-to-be ought to have her own look book of great ideas to get going. Designers use inspiration boards to conceptualise new lines and products; brides can do the same by gathering visuals they love. With the wedding season in full swing, offers the jumpstart you need.
From tips on how to look your best on the big day to pointers on wedding etiquette for guests, we’ve covered it all. Be inspired by our bridal gown gallery; pick a style that expresses who you are. We’ve also put together a selection of best buys, be it jewellery or cosmetics. For those of you who are tired of seeing staged shots that you can barely relate to, Tasneem AlSultan gives us a sneak peek at real weddings. You can also find all the contacts you may need for the perfect nuptial ceremony in our Pink Pages.
Our travel section suggests three unusual honeymoon destinations for those who’d like to step outside the box. If these aren’t enough, have a look at our favourite wedding blog for more inspiration.
Your wedding might be the greatest day of your life, but that doesn’t mean it should be the last time you feel like a princess. La’aleh Al-Aali and Nabeela Al Qaseer encourage women everywhere to take control of their lives, especially after marriage.
To be a woman of power, you need to look the part. What better way is there to show that you’re on top of things than to nail the trends of the season from head to toe?
Our fashion and beauty editor, Fernanda Langhammer, has rounded up the hottest trends from the Spring/Summer 2013 collections. With advice on how to get the look and featuring a range of statement pieces, she has put together a fashion feature that will both inspire and get you talking. In our parenting section we explain that there is much more to playing; it allows your child to fully explore themselves and to be creative. Finding the right balance between body and mind is the subject of our wellbeing feature.
