| Introducing...Brides at Work |
|
Talk about bridal parties in unexpected places... We here at County Wedding Magazines are proud to be supporting the new Brides at Work campaign - a national day on 17th September when brides old and new from all over the country will be wearing their wedding dresses to work to raise money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
In association with The National Wedding Show, brides, bridesmaids, grooms and mother-of-the-brides everywhere are being urged wear their wedding finery and celebrate Brides at Work.
Even if you don't own a wedding dress, you can show your support in other ways. Why not have some fun and get the girls together to host an office bake sale in your tiaras?
It doesn't matter if you got married 20 years ago, or it's currently a work in progress, anyone can help raise money for the fight against breast cancer. For more information, or to register for a Brides at Work fundraising pack, visit www.breakthrough.org.uk/get_involved/raise_money/brides_at_work/

Here at County Wedding Magazines, we love hearing about all the different eco-friendly wedding paraphanalia on the market - so we were delighted to read about the range of products from Shropshire Petals. The company's delicate petal confetti comes straight from its fields in Shropshire and includes a whole variety of colours and scents, all in environmentally friendly packaging.
