Close your eyes and imagine your wedding day. What do you see? A white Rolls Royce, hundreds of happy friends and family feasting, strawberries and champagne, elegant flowers scenting the room and, of course, that extravagant, once in a lifetime wedding dress that makes every head turn? Or do you just see £££ signs ratcheting up before your eyes? Organising a wedding, especially when your budget isn’t limitless, is an undertaking that many professional project managers would balk at. The logistics are overwhelming, and emotions can run pretty high too. The stress builds up over several months, bringing everything together in an action packed day at which you are determined to be totally calm and radiant. And on top of all that, you want to look a million dollars without actually spending it. Laura Bloom's diary recounts her wedding from the first stages of planning right through to the honeymoon. She lets you in on the emotional as well as the practical challenges, from choosing flowers and drawing up schedules, to decorating the venue and coping with family tensions. Best of all, she tells you the secret of how she managed (against all the odds at times) to celebrate a stylish traditional wedding for less than half the average cost.
