Something a little different
December 10, 2009
Most girls through their childhood have dreams of how they see their wedding day. It most cases, it’s all floating big white dresses, flowers displayed it all possible spaces, a church choir singing with angelic voices in the beautiful village Church…
However, you’re going to spend at least £10,000 ( or that’s how much they reckon – at the least!) so why not be a little different and give everyone something to remember your day by…
- How about diving out of an aeroplane? – with the Vicar still by the side of you!
- Get married under water perhaps – wearing your diving equipment?
- Rise above it all in a Hot Air Balloon – sipping Champagne?
- Or drive round your favourite City on an open top bus?
No – not for you? Back to tradition and your girly dreams so Church it is then!!
Stationery
December 9, 2009
You can’t just go down to your local supermarket these days and get a pad of invitations to fill out and send to your guests.
No, no no you end up having to make sure even the cards match your colour scheme. You have the invites, day and evening – normally different for different guests,which include a ‘reply’ card for them to return to you, plus the ‘Order of Services’ , and then there’s the table menus and then the place name cards and the main table plan – the list goes on! And now, can you believe it, you send out a ’save the date card’!! It’s ridiculous – no wonder getting married these days is soooo expensive!
Your Dream day at last!
December 9, 2009
It’s a day that you have been thinking about since you were a little girl. You’ve found the man of your dreams so now you can have the day of your dreams – at last!
But it can seem a bit daunting to begin with. There is so much information out there, so many things to think about and arrange it’s difficult to know where to start.
Your first task for your wedding day would be to arrange the venue – sometimes there can be at least a 2 year waiting list!! It all depends on you both as a couple -most go for a church others a hotel. My friend got married on a bandstand in the grounds of a hotel – luckily the weather was sunny and warm (which for England is a miracle) but it looked beautiful and was something a little bit different!
Once this is organised you know how long you have to find the perfect wedding dress. So many styles, so many colours, so many shopping days to drag your mum and bridesmaids on!!
Organising a wedding creates many a conversation but friends and family don’t always understand or have thet ime to be as involved as they would like to be.
So, I have found a great site which enables you to chat to other ‘brides-to-be’ so you can share your thoughts and discuss the dramas that you can almost guarantee will happen somewhere along the way!
It also gives you a wealth of information and ideas to guide you in the right direction so you have a perfect day.

Photos
December 7, 2009
Right OK? I’ve been through this whole wedding malarky myself so kind of know what’s it’s all about.
You want to capture as many moments of the biggest day of your life as you possiblyy can, so you have the photos done professional and have someone bobbing around with a vieo camera. Bits are captured that you possbilby don’t have the time to see for yourself. It’s all fab and you have the memories to treasure for ever.
However, the photos take at least 2 hours of your day away from you – memories of romantic poses I would never normally find myself or my husband in and tehn end up paying a fortune for.
I think, if I ever had my time again, I would leave the professional phots aside and ask for friends and family to share theirs around. To me the day flies past enough so I would rather spend as much time as I can sharing my biggest and most specailist day of my life with my bestest and specialfriends and family than looking down the lense of a camera.
And the last thing once you’ve looked at them and showed them to everyone – they then get put in the draw for the next 20 years to gather dust!
Learn to Dance.
December 1, 2009
Ok, so you’ve managed to walk downthe aisle without tripping over your big white dress. You’ve both said your vows without too much crying ending up with mascara running down your beautifully made up face.
The dinner has been eaten with the wine flowing by the bucket load. The speeches have made people laugh with all the childhood tales being told and tears shed – again from sincere and heartfelt words about the bride.
It;s now time for your first dance, the lights are low, the tune and song which brought you together is playing and how do you dance? Do you just go round and round in circles falling over each other toes, and your new husband tripping over your dress?
No no no! Wind back the clock 12 months and get yourself some dancing lessons! My husband and I spent 12 months in the run up to our wedding having Ballroom dance lesosns. It was a bit out of our league but didn’t tell a soul we were going. Can you imagine everyones faces as we broke into the Waltz in our first dance. It was amazing and well worth all the hard work and tiffss we had in practising!
