Wedding Dress Trends for 2013

The build-up to her big day may not have run smoothly for Martine McCutcheon (read all about that unfortunate spat with her bridesmaid here) but she managed to put all the planning hiccups behind her last weekend to marry her musician beau Jack McManus.

The couple tied the knot in a romantic celebration on the shores of Lake Como, the picturesque Italian retreat famed for its A-list fans including movie heartthrob George Clooney who has a holiday home there.

Ex-Eastenders actress Martine took to Twitter last night to confirm the happy news telling her 50,020 followers “Hello all! Ive been quiet as I’ve been having the best few days of my life in Italy Marrying @jackmcmanus Im so happy to be Mrs McManus!x”

Details for the big day are being kept closely under wraps as Martine has signed an exclusive coverage deal with Hello! magazine.

Martine and Jack have been dating for five years and the wedding comes just nine months after Jack popped the question by the River Thames in London last Christmas.

Want a truly unique accessory to carry down the aisle? A non-floral bouquet could be just the accent you’re after!

If you really want to make your day that much more memorable, finding a one-of-a-kind alternative non-floral bouquet is the answer. There are endless options in terms of flowerless arrangements. If you like the look of fresh-cut blooms but crave that extra quirky touch, paper and fabric flora are great options to explore.

Column Wedding Dresses are also known for being very sex and the city which has bought this style huge popularity.

Empire wedding dresses cut under the bust which lets the dress flow beneath in a straight line. The style of empire wedding dresses are great for those with a smaller chest or a broader waistline.
