over just a month or a period of one<br />
year). From selecting wedding ring to<br />
paying the service providers, plan it.<br />
Don’t try do it all by yourself, ask friends<br />
and family to help, as it will help reduce<br />
the stress.<br />

magazine brings you the latest trends in<br />
the bridal fashion world and wedding<br />
industry! We are here to help you make<br />
your wedding planning a good experience.<br />
