I adore real bride Sam's dress.
She said: "My dress was from Laura May Bridal in Cardiff. I wanted something that wasn't too formal and that would suit the beach. In the end, I opted for an Enzoani design called Gilly. I adored the A-line style, and I accessorised with a pearl headband and vintage shoes."

This little cutie is our new office pinup. We've fallen in love with Jack the miniature Shetland pony's well-groomed good looks and he's fast becoming a bit of a celebrity on the local wedding scene too. As a four-legged confetti carrier, he's a real show-stealer and is happy to stay for an hour or two post-vows to mix and mingle and pose for photos. Check out www.jackbrockltd.co.uk

I adore real bride Nicole's dress.
She said: "I wore a gorgeous strapless gown called Gracie. I originally wanted a tight-fitting dress with lace sleeves, but I found the style didn't suit me. In the end, I opted for an Allure overskirt for the ceremony, which I removed for the reception. It made it look like two different out ts, and people were asking whether I'd changed clothes."

Doesn't real bride Aimee look a picture in her princess-style gown? Aimee's dress hunt got off to a false start, as she explains, “Like many brides, I think I ended up with a dress that was the opposite of what I thought I wanted. Before I'd tried on any gowns, I thought I wanted a Boho style that didn't look too 'bridal'. I don't know who I thought I was kidding. I ended up with a high-neck satin dress with a huge tulle skirt – I couldn't have looked more bridal.”
