Having been busily planning your dream wedding day and fallen head over heels in love with your perfect wedding dress your to do list is being rapidly ticked off. There is one thing however that you may not have given much thought to, which is whether or not to change your maiden name upon getting married.

It is becoming more common all around the world for brides to stick with their existing name for a variety of reasons. Many women having been practising their new signatures for sometime even before getting engaged to their partner, I for one recall doodling my school crushes’ surnames as my own many moons ago. For some brides the name change barely crosses their mind and they are more than overjoyed to change their name immediately in excitement. Having both the husband and wife using the same surname is convenient and easy when it comes to making financial, legal and social arrangements, and is also advantageous if you have children.

However for some of us taking on a new surname may be more difficult. Some brides may feel they are having to give up part of their family legacy. It may be a more traditional route to take on your new husband’s surname, but your existing identity and keeping hold of the legacy may overpower it. If so then that sentiment alone is enough to make you decide to forgo tradition. It may be that you have established a reputation in your work and changing your name will cause confusion.

Do you like your husband’s surname and how does it sound with your own name? If you really dislike it there is no harm in keeping your maiden name! It may surprise you that your husband may be more than happy to take on your name. There is always the option of having a double-barrelled surname and this is a good compromise. This also allows you as a couple to maintain links with both your family names whilst at the same time recognising the change in your marital status.

A relatively new thing that some couples are opting to do is to mesh their own surnames together to create a new one. This is ideal if you are struggling to choose between names and finding it difficult to decide on whose surname to go first if they are double barrelled meshing is the perfect solution.

Whatever you choose to do it is ultimately your choice as it is a very personal one that only you can decide upon, very much like when you are shopping for wedding dresses! If you happen to still be searching for your dream wedding gown then make your first stop the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet. With over 700 discount wedding dresses of well-known bridal brands and designers, many with up to 75% less than the retail price there is a wedding dress to suit every bride.

Wedding planners are becoming more and more popular here in the UK, having been all the rage for sometime over in the States where many brides would not dream of getting married without one. From assisting you in finding your perfect wedding dress to supporting you on the day and everything else in between, by choosing to have a wedding planner it can help to ease the stress and strains that planning a wedding can bring.

You don’t have to be a Footballers wife or a be marrying a prince to enlist the services of a wedding planner. In today’s society we have our grocery shopping delivered and get someone else to do the housework. So why not employ someone with plenty of knowledge to do all the behind the scenes work to ensure you have your dream day.

What you require from your planner is ultimately down to you. Whether you want them to locate you your amazing venue or do plan everything from the wedding, reception and honeymoon. For many couples they choose to hire a wedding planner simply for the fact of not having enough time themselves. They are particularly helpful if you are getting married on a shorter time scale, if so with our huge range of discount wedding dresses available to purchase off the peg make sure you come visit us! If you are a bride getting married overseas then it makes sense to have someone who knows all the contacts and formalities involved to do the leg work for you or perhaps your a bride who feels totally overwhelmed by everything that a wedding involves.

The cost of an organisers services can vary some will charge a flat fee rate whereas others will charge a percentage of approximately 10-15% of your overall wedding cost. Other planners may charge by the hour with some setting a minimum fee amount or you may be charged individual payments by task. Do ensure you discuss how they wish to be paid and their costs before you agree for them to work with you. Any costs and fees should be agreed upfront and should be put into writing or a contract.

Ideally when looking for a wedding planner you should opt for someone who has been personally recommended to you. Alternatively you can find them via the Internet or through advertisements place in bridal wear magazines. When choosing check that their own style and individuality is a reflection of your own by browsing through their portfolio of other weddings they have planned. Do ask for references and contact numbers from previous clients to check they were happy with the service they provided.

This week we have chosen Anna Sorrano style 1112 as our wedding dress of the week.  This modern and sophisticated taffeta lace up back wedding gown features a feminine sweetheart neckline.

We all like to save money where we can and when your getting married it’s no exception. From searching for your perfect wedding dress to  finding your dream honeymoon there is a lot of careful planning and preparation to ensure your day is what you have always envisaged. We have compiled some money saving wedding tips to help you keep as much cash in your back pocket whilst ensuring you still have a great day.

• Save money on postage costs – do you really need to spend money on those save the date cards and all the stamps for them too? Why not send out an email to all your guests or set up a page dedicated to your wedding via a social networking site or similar.
• Consider making your wedding bouquets and buttonholes for the wedding party. Grow your own at home or get down to a flower market. Practice beforehand to make sure you will end up with the results on your wedding day.
• Keep your venue decorations down to a minimum. Less is more, a simple candle centrepiece or a rose in a slim vase looks just as dramatic as enormous flower centre pieces. Consider items that you can reuse or sell on to other brides.
• Saves money and trees by not buying glossy wedding magazines. They are published online and you can find a whole host of advice and information on the web.
• Why not ask your bridesmaids to choose their own dress and pay for it themselves. All you need to do is advise them on the colour required. It is then something they love and will wear again. Cheap matching accessories for all of your maids can finish off the look.
• Go to factory outlets for your wedding gown. The Wedding Dress Factory Outlet in Leicestershire has over 700 designer discount wedding dresses to choose from at amazing prices from £150 to £400.
• Ask for help from family and friends. If someone is a dab hand at photography then why not entrust them to do your wedding photos or if someone is a good cook they might like to do your reception buffet food with the help of some other well trusted guests.
• Save money on your honeymoon by opting for a working holiday such as the expeditions organised by many charities. Alternatively you could ask for honeymoon vouchers and donations.
• Gain back some of your expenses by creating a wedding gift list where people contribute towards something for your future together. This could be anything from having a new kitchen or bathroom to your garden being landscaped.
• Opt for Prosecco or Cava rather than Champagne, both of which are made in a similar way but usually half the price or less than a bottle of champers. Many people find them easier to drink too.
