Jewellery Brereton Jewellers in Gawler is the ideal shopping destination for brides and grooms tobe. The well-known store stocks a large selection of wedding bands and bridal jewellery, as well as gifts for the wedding party. If you’re not sure where to start, pop in and discuss your ideas with one of their friendly staff, who will be happy to show you a range of options.

Wedding rings The Brereton Jewellers’ wedding ring range offers styles to suit all tastes and budgets, from classic gold wedding bands in yellow, white and two-tone gold, to sparkling diamond wedding rings, curved and patterned designs, and tungsten rings. Most rings are available in all sizes and may be ordered in 9ct or 18ct gold.

Breretons’ happily provide free advice and quotes.

Bridal jewellery Whether you prefer pearls, sparkle or gold and precious stones, the team at Breretons can help you to select a special piece or set to complement your bridal gown. As stockists of

the Georgini Bridal Collection, they have an exciting new range of cubic zirconia and pearl pendants, earrings, rings and bracelets, set in rhodium-plated sterling silver and designed for the Australian bride. And not to forget Mums of the bride and groom, who may also like a necklet and earrings to enhance their wedding outfit.

Gifts for the attendants These are often left to the last minute and Brereton Jewellers usually have a good selection on hand, however it is wise to look at gift options when choosing your wedding rings.

Popular gifts for the best man and groomsmen include stainless steel or pewter tankards, hip flasks, stubby holders and silver or pewter goblets. Gift items can be personalised with an engraved message, conveniently done on Brereton’s premises. For the maid of honour and bridesmaids a gift of jewellery to wear on the day is a nice touch, in a style to complement their dresses, or perhaps an engraved glass, jewel box or Willow Tree angel are nice ideas.

decorations The Helium House staff know that every wedding is unique.

That’s why The Helium House offers a large selection of decorating ideas to make your celebration just right for you.

“We bring your ideas to life,” says Annette Broughton. “Everything to make your day memorable.”

Located in Gawler, The Helium House is in the perfect spot to help with decorating in the Barossa area.

“We will liaise with the venue to ensure everything is just right,” Annette said. “One of our specialties is in balloon decorations for all types of events, but weddings are a favourite.

“We get a thrill helping a bride choose how she will add the sparkle to her reception room. We create table and floor decorations, arches, church decorations and bows.”

The Helium House staff love to go to the venue to decorate and make sure everything is perfectly set up.

They also stock wedding glassware, guest books,

confetti, favour boxes, place cards and numbers and wedding cake decorations.

“If we don’t have what you want, just ask and we will do our best to get it for you.

“Brides often come to us to decorate their engagement parties, then the hen’s night and also to help with their wedding,” Annette said.

Wishing wells are very popular for engagements and weddings and The Helium House has a number of different designs.

As a successful business, the store has contacts with many local people, from marriage celebrants to cake decorators to DJs. They can arrange printed glasses or stubby holders, jukeboxes and cocktail machines.

An exciting addition to any occasion is a photo booth where wedding guests can dress up with props to have fun photos taken during the evening.

The Helium House stock hen’s night novelties, from funny to downright naughty and their pinatas are very popular and are ordered by people from all over South Australia.

fashion A wedding is an exciting time, not only for the bride and groom but also the family and friends.

Specialising in styles for the mother of the bride, Lady of Style is fashion for the over 30s women.

They stock all the top brand names such as Geoff Bade, Cooper Street, Mirrors, Gitane, Jordanne and many others.

Everybody’s expectation of the ‘perfect honeymoon’ differs greatly.

For some it’s the dream of that secluded beach bure, a tourist hotel unit designed to resemble a native cottage, with crystal aqua waters lapping at your doorstep, or an overwater bungalow where the two of you can simply gaze into each others eyes.

For others it’s the allure of shopping bargains, partying, wonderful delicacies and culture. Some may want a mixture of action and relaxation.

Whatever comes to mind when you think of your dream honeymoon, Harvey World Travel Barossa Valley can help make it happen. Harvey World Travel Barossa

Top honeymoon tips A. Book your honeymoon well in advance. Don’t risk missing out on cheap deals. If we think you are booking too early we will advise you to hold off.

B. Remember, you definitely get what you pay for. That secluded beachfront bungalow, bure or overwater bungalow is generally going to be expensive.

C. Have a good think about your maximum spend budget on airfares and accommodation. Express this to your travel professional so they can find the best possible product to fit within your means.

D. Don’t try and fit too much into a short period.Take into account lost days due to travel times and be sure to allow some time for reflection and relaxation. If you only have seven days, forget the Caribbean Cruise, it’s not for you.

E. Consider what you want from your honeymoon.A good travel professional will ask you whether you want to relax in a resort and do nothing but swim, soak up the sun and read. Or, do you want lots of sightseeing, shopping, culture, maybe even adventure?

F. Use the services of a professional travel agent. They know what they are doing which will save you time and money with no nasty surprises.

G. Consider using the services of a Honeymoon Bridal Registry. Why not get your wedding guests to contribute towards making your honeymoon dream a reality? Most guests love it too, it saves the hassle of deciding on what present to get.

H. Your honeymoon is an integral part of your wedding experience. Don’t make it an after thought.
