Mr N: Solving your wedding day dilemmas

THE POWERFUL IN-LAWS

Dear Mr N

My fiancé’s grandmother is without doubt the head of his family, everyone waits on her final decision before making their own. Needless to say she has somewhat taken over the planning of my big day. Requesting she approves the church venue, reception and even inviting thousands of associates from the family firm. Whilst my fiancé and I are more modern and quiet, we’d rather a small ceremony with close family and friends. We naturally want to add our own personalities to the day. How can I reach that happy medium without upsetting my future Grandmother-in-law?

Kate, Berkshire

Simple. Break your day up into parts. Perhaps allow her to take full or part control of some areas… The Ceremony for example is typically the most traditional part of a wedding day. Make this into more of an event, and make her feel involved. Another way is to have you and your fiancé narrow down the choice and get her input later down the line. For example when choosing the menu for your wedding reception, have two final dishes that you both like and let her select her favourite. That way she feels she’s made the choice, and it’ll be a choice you’ll be happy with. Involve her, ask for her opinion, as her opinion matters to you, the more you do this the more planning she’ll leave to you. As much as it’s your day, do remember there’s a difference in generations, she’s waited years to see her grandson get happily married.

STYLE: Niemierko Bride Mayasa in Phillipa Lepley

It has been highly speculated in the last week that one of Niemierko’s favourite British fashion designers Phillipa Lepley could be designing Kate Middleton’s wedding gown, when she marries Prince William next year.

Well Phillipa isn’t just a favourite of Royals, Niemierko Brides love her just as much. In January this year one of our Brides, Mayasa, celebrated her wedding day at The Ritz in London, wearing a Phillipa Lepley gown. Nothing screams more timeless elegance than this chic design.

BACKSTAGE: A Royal Engagement

At Niemierko we do try to set trends with our Brides (and Grooms). Following last weeks Royal Engagement, and Prince William’s choice to propose with his mothers sapphire and diamond engagement ring, it reminded us of a previous Niemierko Bride who got married in December 2007.

That particular Bride had also chosen a sapphire and diamond ring, well perhaps her Groom did, just like Miss Middleton’s. However rather than opting for a trip down to jewellers Garrard & Co in Mayfair, our clients decided to privately commission designer Lorna MacGregor of Darcy Jewels to create something timeless and elegant. And wow did it sparkle on their wedding day!
