Traditionally, the wedding season is in the summer months when the bride can sport a stunning tan, and feast on salads in a bid to slim down to a size double zero as is poignantly fashionable right now. It is has also traditionally been a prime time due to favourable weather for photos. Well, call me cynical, but today's climate changes, whether they are of man-made causes or natural fluctuations have put pay to using these reasons for a summer wedding; and quite frankly, you might as well pop a pin in a calendar and take whatever date comes up. Also, slightly cynically, the very existence of sun beds and slim fast mean that you can conjure a sultry summer photo regardless of the weather, all you need is the right venue. Some people choose to fly abroad to get a bit of glamour into a wedding, but if you want real glamour why not choose a venue inspired by the stars themselves. Ditch those wedding magazines and grab a copy each of Hello, Heat and OK for some top celebrity tips for wedding venues.
