With warmer days come wedding bells, and this year’s FAIRLADY Bride is ringing in everything beautiful and bridal. The newly launched Summer 2011/12 issue boasts 162 pages of breath-taking dresses, romantic locales and stylish party spreads – everything a bride needs to make her wedding day picture perfect and unforgettable.
“Of course, brides are always beautiful, but they are most radiant when they are relaxed,” says FAIRLADY editor-in-chief, Suzy Brokensha. “Our team has worked to create an issue that will act as an indispensable and friendly guide, helping brides to focus on the details that matter most, so that ‘the big day’ is what it should be: a beautiful and meaningful celebration of the beginning of a long and happy marriage.”
On the fashion front, local talent takes a walk down the aisle with the latest ‘White Hot Couture’ from top SA designers 
from I Love Leroy. Whether you love ruffles and frills or you’re more the sexy back type, you’ll find inspiration for your own personal statement in ‘Gown Report’, a look at eight beautiful new gown trends; and everything you need to know about wedding veils is uncovered in a helpful how-to. Why should girls have all the fun? There’s even a primer on quirky boutonnieres for the groom.
Four real weddings representing a range of styles and locales – from a romantic Italian villa overlooking the beachfront to the serenity of the Namib desert – are captured in sumptuous detail, with brides’ contact lists shared. There’s lots more non-nonsense advice from real brides who share their wedding planning tips, like Elizabeth Atmore’s ‘My Big Fat (And Not-So-Expensive) Wedding’, which was as stylish as it was budget conscious.
Fairlady Bride knows that old property adage ‘location, location, location’ also applies to weddings, and in the latest issue, newly married couples give first-hand feedback about nine top wedding locations nationwide. And from the macro to the micro: a look at functional fine details that spell style with personality and panache.
Overflowing with shimmering wedding rings, out-of-the-box wedding invitations, gorgeous confectionary creations and the latest in bridal hair and makeup, FAIRLADY Bride is any bride’s dream come true.
FAIRLADY Bride retails at R46.95 and is available at good bookshops countrywide.
