One of the key details in a wedding is the bride’s bouquet. Most, if not all, brides pay extra attention to the set of flowers they’ll be holding as they walk down the aisle. It has to be special. It has to match the chosen theme but should have an added kick in elements. In short, it should be the best ever bouquet that a woman should carry in her wedding and, yes, for the rest of her life — a bouquet that will best reflect her person, her femininity, her.
So the idea that your florist can actually whip something …read more

I am naturally quite a shy person, and I was speaking to one of my friends who is getting married next month and was encouraged by her approach. She too is shy, her “Big Day” is about vows, joining together with the person she loves unconditionally – it is not about being the centre of attention for the day.
She talked to her prospective husband and decided to not follow all the traditions. No speeches, no first dance, etc anything that would make her feel uncomfortable. They agree that the day should be one that they love, that they remember …read more

A great idea to recognise your happy event and also the part that the bridesmaids play in making the day special, is to give them a silver replica of the brides wedding ring with an inscription inside the ring.
I love this idea as any girl loves jewellery and what a wonderful way of providing an ongoing memory for years to come. The ones that I saw made were a zircon/silver and a straight replica of the brides ring – beautiful.

For me one of the best parts of a wedding is seeing the bride and groom take to the floor for the first dance. I was wondering which are the top played songs and here is the list.

Unforgettable (Nat King Cole)
Can’t Help Falling In Love (Elvis Presley)
Can I Have This Dance? (Ann Murray)
The Way You Look Tonight (Frank Sinatra)
It Had To Be You (Harry Connick, Jr.)
What A Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
Endless Love (Diana Ross and Lionel Richie)
I Cross My Heart (George Strait)
I Swear (John M. Montgomery or All 4 One)
A Whole New World (Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle)
As Time Goes …read more

I was honoured to be the Chief Bridesmaid at my sisters wedding, and wanted to help my sister have the best day possible. We got up early in the morning, put the music on and got ready. We had a ball, everything was going so well. Then I decided that I had to go to the toilet before the car arrived…aaagh, that’s when disaster struck. I totally forgot about the sash on the dress, and of course it disappeared down the toilet as I flushed it! The swirl of the water then caused the sash to rip away from the …read more

Is your best friend, sister or daughter announced her recent wedding engagement and you feel like giving her something to mark this special occasion?
Why not give her a wedding journal? I had one given to me as a pre-wedding present and I wrote down all my thoughts about the wedding (that I can’t share with you guys, unfortunately!). I also scribbled a lot of my wedding ideas in that journal and it’s so good to look back and read what I have written about all those years ago!
You can choose to give her this:

Bow-Tied Journal. Silver Stamping Journal.

or this:
