This is according to the Hull and East Riding newspaper, which provided tips on summer ceremony styles.

For an on-trend look, ladies were advised to team a bright, printed maxi dress with heels and accessories, while a shrug or bolero worn with a floral frock was noted as "chic and stylish".

Pastels are also said to be popular in 2012, with the soft shades giving a feminine edge to outfits.

Alternatively, women can stick to a classic wardrobe staple, the little black dress, which was noted as always a good look at an evening reception.

To add some colour, bold shoes and coordinating accessories were recommended, as bright tones and colour blocking is on-trend.

Marketing and PR manager at Colour Me Beautiful Fiona Wellins recently advised the mother of the bride to focus on either a vibrant dress or on eye-catching jewellery and a hat when deciding what to wear.

A spokesperson for the resort told the AFP how it has "never refused an application for a same-sex wedding" at one of the site's hotels.

Although gay marriages have no legal status in Japan and individuals cannot exchange vows in the park's chapel "due to Christian teaching", people are more than welcome to get hitched at the Cinderella Castle.

News of the resort's stance on same-sex weddings came to light after 27-year-old Koyuki Higashi approached the company to ask if she and her female partner could hold their ceremony on site.

Writing on her blog, the Japanese native said of her subsequent visit to the park: "Mickey first looked surprised to hear that we are a 'couple of girls'.

"But we said we were there to thank him because same-sex weddings can be held at the Disney Resort."

The first ever Disney theme park opened in Anaheim California in 1955.

This is according to FitSugar's Leta Shy, whose comments on getting in shape may inspire women to not only invest in wedding insurance but also a fitness coach.

"Having a trainer can be one of the best ways to help you reach your goals," she stated, adding it is important to manage time effectively so workouts help people achieve their ideal weight.

In order to avoid feeling stressed or under pressure, Ms Shy recommended starting the fitness programme as soon as possible.

Another tip was to do extra workout sessions on days other than when seeing the trainer and to ask them for guidance on healthy eating.

Recent research conducted by Cornell University in the US found 70 per cent of brides wanted to lose at least 23lbs before their big day, while 14 per cent ordered a wedding dress that was two sizes too small.

The former X Factor contestant told the Sun she wants to have lots of floral arrangements at her ceremony.

"I know they just die, but I love them," she stated, adding that her gown may even incorporate blooms.

Solomon commented: "I want my dress to be made out of flowers. That's the only thing I've decided so far."

With the singer and Mr Barham planning a large ceremony, they may have already begun thinking about investing in a wedding insurance policy in case anything goes awry.

The mother-of-two claimed the nuptials will be a big event as she has a "huge" Jewish family who will all be invited.

Solomon rose to fame after appearing on the 2009 X Factor where she sang What A Wonderful World, before going on to appear in a series of adverts for the food chain Iceland.

Cheap wedding insurance may not be the only way ladies consider cutting costs, as managing director at Moodflowers.com Nick Priestly suggested ditching traditional posies for a less-expensive option.

"A flower wrist corsage is a great alternative that won't break the bank," the expert stated.

Ideal blooms to consider using for spring and summer nuptials include peonies, orchids and roses, ladies were advised.

Mr Priestly suggested creating an arrangement that is in-keeping with the theme of the big day and reflects the bridal bouquet by using similar flowers in different colours.

Meanwhile, roses or alstroemeria blooms were described as perfect for buttonholes on the suits of groomsmen.

Couples may want to consider adding a personal touch by growing their own flowers, as recently recommended in the Santa Barbara Independent by landscape design contractor and wedding florist Trace Robinson.

The boy band star exchanged vows with his long-term love Giovanna Falcone on Saturday (May 13th) in front of a host of celebrity guests.

Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton and Inbetweeners star Joe Thomas attended the ceremony, along with fellow McFly singers Harry Judd, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones.

The wedding was held at One Marylebone in London and The Only Way is Essex stars Lucy Mecklenburgh and Mario Falcone were also guests.

Falcone is the younger brother of the bride and tweeted his excitement at watching her tie the knot. 

He wrote: "Off to my sister and @tommcfly wedding … What a beautiful day for a beautiful couple! Love them both so much."

McFly have had a string of hits, including All About You and Five Colours In Her Hair.

The Northumberland Gazette reports how a blaze broke out on the upper floor of the building and "completely destroyed" the storey.

However, brides and grooms may not need to make a wedding insurance claim, as the firm's owner George Carnegie claimed business will continue as normal.

"We are still available for weddings and we won't be disappointing anyone who has already booked," he stated.

The company's two 1920's Sunbeam vehicles were parked on the ground floor of the affected building and were rescued before the blaze could cause them any damage.

Although some couples like to opt for traditional wedding cars, other individuals go for a unique look with vehicles such as tractors, lorries and skips used to transport them to their venue.

Fiona Womack and Raymond Francis are just one bride and groom who told the Dunmow Broadcast they were left distraught when they discovered Whitehall Hotel in Broxted has gone into liquidation.

Ms Womack explained that she thought her fiance was joking when he said they would not be able to have their nuptials at the venue.

"Your wedding is something you dream about and have to wait long enough for it as it is – to find out two weeks before that we couldn't have the reception where we wanted it was devastating," she remarked.

Like numerous other couples the pair had paid several thousand pounds and were due to settle the remaining bill.

With the cost of getting hitched constantly increasing, it may be a wise idea to invest in insurance in case there is a problem with venues and vendors, or if the bride and groom fall ill.

The Gloucestershire Echo reports how Mark Bailey and Amanda Powell had borrowed £12,000 to pay for their big day, which was taken when the thieves ransacked their home.

Andrew Stagg, 19, 17-year-old Shaun Stagg and Jordan McDonald, 17, were found guilty of the robbery, which also saw champagne, fireworks, engagement and wedding rings stolen.

A court statement from the bride and groom said they were not in a position to borrow more money on top of the loan and so they had to significantly scale back their nuptials.

Mr Bailey and Ms Powell still owe the bank £12,000, despite not having been able to use any of the money.

The couple's experience may inspire other individuals to invest in wedding insurance so they are covered should their ceremony plans go awry.

In an interview with the Killeen Daily Herald, Daria Riley of Asgard Events recommended checking a location can accommodate all of the confirmed guests, without it being too crowded.

"You want your guests to be able to get around the buffet, to mix and mingle, to get to know each other. You don't want them trapped at the table," she stated.

Brides and grooms may also want to consider where the dancefloor will be placed before taking out a wedding insurance policy for the venue.

Those who are planning to host their nuptials outdoors were advised by Custom Wedding and Events' Karen Bohanon to have a backup plan in case the weather is wet.

A marquee or indoor room that can be used if conditions are not suitable could be the perfect option for outside ceremonies.
