Leila Harris-Ryberg, who's Canadian but based in London, found organising a wedding with five bridesmaids in different countries a challenge.  Three of her bridesmaids flew over from Canada, one was based in London and the other was living in Sweden, where the wedding took place in 2008. “They all had different body shapes so I suggested they choose their own dress by a brand that's available everywhere. I just stipulated the colour,” she explains. “The only low point for me was that because they were geographically dispersed no one organised a hen do and I didn't have anyone to help with the wedding plans.” But, she maintains she wouldn't change a thing. “They were my nearest and dearest and
