Wedding Dress Shopping made easier Shopping for your fairy-tale gown is one thing that you cannot leave too late when planning your wedding. It can be extremely daunting, and so many really don’t look forward to it at all.

There are many reasons for this, but one that comes to mind is the endless options.

For me it was the one that I kept going back to in my head, no matter how many more dresses I tried on. You will know, based on how you feel in it! I still remember how wonderful I felt in my wedding gown on the day, and in fact managed to squeeze into it again on my 30th Birthday!

Until next time, happy wedding planning!

Choosing The Perfect Diamond For Your ENGAGEMENT RING Choosing the “Perfect Diamond” for one’s engagement or of one’s life, here are a few helpful considerations to keep in mind when making that choice.

The most popular shapes currently are round brilliant, princess, and emerald. Never purchase a fair to poor quality diamond, especially for engagement rings, diamonds at these levels severely lack brilliance.

Purchase a stone without visible imperfections. Many imperfections are not visible to the naked eye, however, and

Purchase a diamond that balances difference in quality. It can, however, make a huge difference in price.

Take carat weight into consideration last. This does not affect the quality of the stone in any way, so a heavier weight does not necessarily indicate a higher quality stone, it simply relates to the size.

The Last Stand A Perfect Bachelors Party Make it EPIC! Planning a bachelor party....the idea of this would put a permanent grin on the face of every fun loving guy. But just as every girl has her idea of a dream wedding, every guy has his idea of a his Dream Bachelor Party.

So its important to ASK the groom what his preference is, be it a weekend away, an adventure day or a night on the town! And seriously, once the daydream of strippers and an endless supply of booze goes away, the important realisation that this will be the ‘bachelors’ last night of ‘freedom’ makes it important that the night be perfect, well as perfect as it could possibly be.

So keep some surprises up your sleeve, like a limo turning up to collect you at one of your venues, or pass around photos of the groom but keep it simple enough to have a great time, get the groom home safely, either in one piece or wearing a one piece, just so long as he has fun and stays safe.

Her Last Hoorah!!

When a girl decides to get married she knows it’s the end of her days as young, free and single and there is nothing she’s looking forward to more than her wedding day, but one last night out with her ‘girls’ is her chance to celebrate the transition into ‘wife’ .

There’s nothing more fun and exciting than a “Hens Party” or “Bachelorette Party”. It’s an opportunity for her to get crazy, go wild and goof off with her closest mates. It is therefore important that whoever is in charge of the planning ensures that it is one night that will be memorable, fun and as exciting as it can be.

12 tips for grooms who want to get it right

Don’t rush into anything. Take time to read lots of magazines for inspiration. If you’re still not getting anywhere, consult a professional style councilor and ignore this guide!

With the information gleaned from your research set a realistic budget for your wedding outfit and take everything into account and stick to it, rigidly.

Start your shopping process well in advance of the wedding (preferably several months), particularly if you’re having something such as a waistcoat, frockcoat or star trek suite made, as you tailor will require lots need to make alterations which takes time.

Make sure you wash and iron your shirt the day before so that you don’t end up with unsightly uniron able fold marks.

On the morning of the ceremony, don’t go out to the pub to get some Dutch courage, go have a professional manicure and shave instead. That way you’ll be just as relaxed as if you’d downed a couple of pints, you don’t risk blood on you collar and your hands will look simply lovely when you exchange rings.

Spending the afternoon with Colin gave us an opportunity to view the airport with different eyes. His great pride when he spoke of King Shaka and the animation with which he described the future plans together with his familiarity of all who came into his orbit, spoke of a man who is truly committed to what he is doing and it is no wonder then that the airport is becoming such a magnet for day trippers from around KZN. With all the innovation, passion and energy that he directs at creating a place where everyone can enjoy some aspect of the airport, King Shaka International is truly a destination of great pride for Durban.

A message from Sam to young girls wanting a career in hospitality: You are not the weaker gender. The rules are the same for everyone, males because of gender, work hard, put your best foot forward and remember you do not have to win every battle to win the war. Choose your battles, produce results and you will earn your place.

Saucy Sam Secrets: Music on your iPod : If you were to listen to my iPod, you’d think it belonged to four different people as the music I listen to is always mood dependant Favourite artist : I enjoy all kinds of music so I love everything from Nickelback to John Legend Apple or Android : Apple Coffee or Tea : Love coffee, but drinking green tea now to minimise the copious amounts of coffee I drink a day.

R and R : Role Models : manager whilst a trainee Most cherished moments : The quality time I spend with my daughter, in recent years we’ve enjoyed two overseas trips together and those gave me some of my happiest memories.

If you had a “do over” what would you change : Absolutely nothing, everything I’ve done, all the lessons I’ve learnt all the mistakes and all the things I’ve achieved have made me who I am today. A happy person.

I need both, my career and my homelife.
