The modern bride is very different now compared to previous generations. They are much more independently minded and know exactly what they want and have the skills to make sure they get exactly that.
They are far less influenced by their families, partly because they may not live at home and partly because the
happy couple will be paying for their wedding or at least contributing to the
wedding budget!
The average age of brides today has increased greatly so they have more life experience. They have strong ideas about their own style which they will use when planning their perfect wedding day.
