As the official Wedding season begins, many Brides are looking for the latest trends, great ideas and different ways to incorporate their personality into their ‘big day’. A wedding planner is a Bride’s best friend, confidante and fairy godmother who can make their ‘vision’ become a reality. The Bridal Guide will be working together with the fairy godmother herself: Jane Dayus-Hinch.

We sat down with Jane to find  out what Canada’s favourite Wedding Planner has in store for 2013.
