LETTER Welcome to our Spring 2014 issue. Black Cat Publishing Limited is celebrating its 10th year. Our newest publication, Northern Bride Magazine is on issue 3 and is getting bigger and better with each issue. This is all thanks to our contributors and advertisers. We couldn’t do it without you.

We’re exhibiting at The National Wedding Shows at the NEC in Birmingham on 28th Feb and 1st and 2nd March 2014 and also at the National Wedding Show at Manchester Central on 15th & 16th March. Make sure you come and see us. We’re always happy to offer help and advice and we have over ten years of experience when it comes to helping you choose the very best Wedding products and services.

This issue we’ve got lots of wonderful features to help you make the most of your big day. Take a look at our ‘Theme Pages’. We have a Winter Wonderland theme for you to look at and this is contracted sharply by a ‘Colourful theme’. Both of these would make fantastic themes for your big day.

I know that looking your best on the day itself is of paramount importance. I receive hundreds of emails on health and beauty each issue. To this end we have a fabulous health and beauty section, looking at everything from fabulous ‘updoos’ for your wedding day hair to ‘Meaningful Beauty’ from Cindy Crawford.

We also have a fantastic reader prize-draw for our Spring issue. Enter at the shows, on-line or through the post and you could be the lucky winner of Dinner, Bed and Breakfast at the Mercure Shrewsbury Albrighton Hall Hotel.

We ‘Don’t Forget The Groom’ either………. Take a look at our menswear pages.

There really is something for every member of the bridal party in this issue.

Wedding NEWS The perfect drink to celebrate that special day with Champagne Billecart-Salmon is a small family-owned champagne House situated right in the heart of the Champagne region. It is nearly 200 years old, having been founded in 1818. Since its founding the winemakers at the House have endeavoured to create elegant champagnes with distinctive finesse by following the family motto of ‘Give priority to quality and Strive for excellence’.

The Brut Réserve nonvintage is a light, fine and harmonious champagne with a floral freshness. The perfect drink to celebrate that special day with.

The ClaireaBella classic jute bag £39.99

‘Think You Know ClaireaBella?

Think Again!’

If you think you know the iconic and unique lifestyle brand ClaireaBella, the celebrity favourite brand famous for personalised jute fashion bags seen on the likes of Michelle Keegan, Brooke Vincent and the cast of TOWIE, then think again!

A brand that is as unique as you are, founder and designer Claire Barratt offers personalised and crafted ClaireaBella products such as bags, fashion items, stationery and accessories.

Founded in 2010, the ClaireaBella story started when mum of five Claire Barratt visited Paris with husband Jon. Falling in love with the caricatures they had drawn on their trip, Claire quickly set about putting it on to a bag when she returned to the UK and thus the ClaireaBella brand was born.

The new interpretation of Wedding Rings by FURRER-JACOT It is ornamental? Celtic? romantic? ornate? or simply vintage? Who can say?

But mainstream it certainly isn’t; rather a clear statement of non-conformity.

For people who "dare" to celebrate the clash in style. For them, FURRERJACOT has launched the first premium

12 Northern Bride Magazine

RRP is around £40, available from Berry Bros & Rudd, Harvey Nichols, Corks Out, Jeroboams and Lea & Sandeman.

The orders soon came flooding in as soon as friends, family and colleagues saw Claire’s artwork. However the ClaireaBella brand really took off after Chloe Sims from TOWIE was ‘papped’ with her very own personalised bag making ClaireaBella a true ‘overnight sensation’.

Going from strength to strength, ClaireaBella joined forces with ToxicFox. co.uk in June 2011 to launch a range of exclusive personalised Hoodies and T-Shirts that have been worn by both Geordie Shore and Celebrity Big Brother stars.

precious metal wedding ring jewellery, with distinctive ornamental patterns that make strong unconventional statements in themselves. This isn’t the first time in its more than 150-year history that the traditional house of FURRER-JACOT has succeeded by breaking convention.

Who's afraid of femininity? Certainly not the modern man. Made-up and plucked

oudoir: B & r a t S k c o R smooth. Sensual! The floral strokes on precious metal flirt sensitively with the ornamentation, fine yet daring.

All rings are available in white - gray (palladium combination), anthracite white (platinum and white gold) and the very impressive red gold - black.

Through careful black rhodium-plating the base brings out the pattern in

unique clarity.

Like FURRER-JACOT pieces these rings are provided with a unique identification number and a lifetime warranty.

Lipoglaze: improve your appearance and increase body confidence!

Or simply want to capture them during your pre-wedding shoot, then let us know as we love pets and know they are part of the family too! :-) www.dantumaphotography.co.uk

Lipoglaze™ is a revolutionary nonsurgical fat reduction treatment which literally kills off fat cells in one 50-minute session.

The treatment targets fatty areas in the tummy, arms, legs and thighs with fast results, no scaring and no pain. The brand new treatment from the USA is available in the UK for the first time and has been launched by leading beauty spa treatments company LoveLite.

Lipoglaze™ gently warms up the treatment area which encourages blood and fat to separate. Then by using Cryotherapy, it carefully freezes away fat cells, without the need for high risk invasive surgery.

The Only Way is Essex star Tom Pearce

The system uses a powerful noninvasive vacuum suction to treat the target areas. In the first few minutes a warm sensation is replaced by a cold

feeling which means the treatment is starting to take effect. Fat cells crystallise, break down and over a course of a couple of months the physical results are visible.

Based on Cryotherapy and researched and developed by Harvard scientists, who have concluded that if the body’s temperature is reduced within certain areas (such as fat cells) to a point where there is a formation of ice crystals, this will in turn cause cell death, medically know as Apoptosis.

Cryotherapy is FDA approved and is a safer and much more controlled noninvasive treatment.

The treatment has now been brought to the UK by beauty entrepreneurs, Debra Robson and Donnamarie McBride who have over 30 years of joint experience in the beauty and spa industry.
