      <description><![CDATA[ 
	One of the trends we saw when bridal designers showed off their new collections earlier this year was a clear &#39;vintage&#39; influence in many of the gowns.

	&#39;Vintage&#39; is a very vague term, and certainly there was plenty of evidence of the influence of the 1920&#39;s, 1940&#39;s and 1950&#39;s in some of the designs we saw at the big wedding showcase in Harrogate this September.



	Some dresses looked like they could have walked straight out of the pages of a 1950s magazine, worn by Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly. Others carry just&nbsp;an influence of days gone by, whethe ... ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ 
	As we drove across Cannock Chase this morning the autumn colour&#39;s really brought home how far through the year we are now. Lots of brides are choosing to get married later in the year and bridal wear manufacturers are doing lots to cater for this market.

	There&rsquo;s no such thing as a dress for a winter wedding, just like there&rsquo;s no such thing as a dress just for a beach wedding. Just about any dress can be worn in any location and any time of the year, but when there&rsquo;s a nip in the air accessories can really come into their own.
