When You Wish Upon A Star...

The waiting is over, the champagne is on ice and a lucky Prince or Princess Charming is waiting in the wings for your Grande entrance. No more shall one need to dine alone on a sweaty boil in the bag, for the banquet of love awaits my darlings and no matter what the budget, this 60 minute countdown guide with give you all the detail you need to inspire, delight and steer you every step of the way. More importantly, it really doesnt matter what style of wedding or civil ceremony you are planning, this quick-guide is all about arming you with the fundamentals to plan a sensational day. Oh yes Ladies and Gents - the gooseberry days are officially over!

From this moment on, I, George Watts your Official Wedding Fairy do solemnly swear that you shall go to the ball and shine beyond Cinderellas wildest dreams. This is your chance to sparkle like a superstar so soak it up girlfriend. As of this very second, I want you to feel magical from the inside out and all I ask in return is that you walk with an open mind and be prepared to try anything once! Every day I meet so many brides-to-be who have their big day all mapped out from the word go and it really stifles their creativity and individual journey. Like a dress, or a new person you meet, it is often those things we think wont fit or we wont like that turn into our best friends. Treat your wedding the same and trust me, the stress levels will stay in neutral and never shall you turn into a Bridezilla!

This is an important time to both mentally and physically prepare yourselves for the road ahead whilst basking in the euphoria of finding Mr or Mrs Right. So, before we move forward why not take a second to look back and reflect on that incredible moment when you said yes or (if you were brave enough) popped the magical question yourself. It might have been a flash of comedy genius or the most romantic two minutes of your life? Every occasion, however odd is always perfect. During my career I have heard everything from a bit of bling inside a bad-boy Big Mac to a live public address at the local bingo hall. Who could forget the dreamy engagement of David and Victoria Beckham? The great man himself simply took his beau to a local restaurant and went down on one knee. A simple yet elegant proposal that worked a treat! There is no right or wrong way to make that most decent of proposals nor is it ever a disaster every I do has its own unique and memorable story to tell. So, when you are having a moment of mild hysteria over a dodgy dress fitting or the wedding car hasnt turned up on time, just remind yourself of what this journey is really all about. This fairytale goes way beyond just hair and make-up; its about sealing the deal with your other half and making your own dream a reality. Keep things in perspective and trust me, this process will be all pleasure and no chore. All you need is love as they say!

The next few pages are literally all about you so, pop yourself on the sofa, grab a bottle of something fizzy and enjoy every second. It really doesnt matter whether you have 1 month or 1 year to plan the day itself, each step is in chronological order so you can make it to the aisle on time no matter what schedule you are on! As in life, timing is of the essence and in the world of weddings; a schedule is a TOTAL MUST...

And finally, remember this particular fairytale has no rules or regulations set in stone. I want you to freestyle and stamp your own personality all over your big day without having to be censored. This book is not just about the technicalities of planning a wedding; its also about making you feel a million dollars for the big day and beyond. Ladies and gents, say goodbye to singledom - the magic starts when you turn this page...
