So, there you have it.

Four and a half weeks to go and lucky for Ian, he’s sorted. I, however, am not.

My advice would be to think not only about the dress when you go for that first fitting, but the whole package and get it sorted all at once.

Make sure that your groom gets in with someone who knows what looks good and can advise, because the last thing you want when you are running around like a headless chicken at the last minute looking for crescent moon brooches and burgundy velvet court shoes is to be worrying about what he has and hasn’t done.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please post your comments below, or on Twitter @stylistmagazine and @natashatomalin, using the hashtag #Stylistweddingblog
