The Grand Wedding Show is on today in Auckland, providing a one-stop shop for anyone planning a wedding, or those of us dreaming of the big day.
I'll get to the gowns shortly, but I'll start with cake. Gone are the times where an old-fashioned fruit cake with white icing was the done thing. For something fresh and exciting, you can't beat the talented baking sister team behind Amy's Secret Kitchen.
Now down to the fashion business. For the brides I have a stunning couture gown from highly regarded bridal designer Jane Yeh and a more fashion-oriented vintage feel from Ingrid Starnes' latest collection.
Bridesmaids needn't fear being stuck with the dress from hell - Natalie Chan and Juliette Hogan offer a bridesmaid dress service to create a tasteful dress that can even be worn after the big day.
