Weddings are big business and can create big waste. Most of the stuff that used for a wedding is a one time only deal, can’t be used again and ends up in the bin. We recently came across a story where the bride and groom chose to use a food saviour charity called the Real…
You’re clutching the long awaited invitation starring at the location. It can only mean one thing – the wedding is in a marquee (or a teepee – whatever, it’s a giant tent). Is this a good thing? You don’t know. You DO know that it’s not going to be like going to a posh hotel,…
Most of us opt for a ‘normal sized’ wedding. That is to say, around 100 guests with maybe another 30 or so attending for the evening. We want to shout our love from the roof tops and make sure everyone gets to join in. But what if you want a smaller crowd? What if you…
OR HOW TO PLAN YOUR WEDDING WHEN THE LAST ONE YOU WENT TO WAS A ROYAL AFFAIR. Weddings are big business but quite often we come across the same stuff – candy carts, caricaturists, magicians, singing ‘fake’ waiters. Brides are always on a quest to go one better than the last wedding they went to…

In the aftermath of the Royal Wedding, where we saw pageboys holding the veil train, an animated American preacher giving a sermon inside a British church, no ‘grown up’ attendants and a bride on her way to her Prince stand alone at the doors to the church, we at Wedmother Towers are now talking about…
Preparing for your wedding can be a long (and sometimes stressful) process. After months (sometimes years) of looking at flowers, cakes, cars, dresses, shoes, favours, invitations, linen…oh the list goes on….it seems like your big day will never get here. Until **pooft** it does! Are you ready? Of course you are. But did you even…
Fairy Wedmother has done a few weddings where bowl food was the delectation of choice but for the evening reception rather than the main wedding breakfast, and while it went down well it did take a while to get out. Longer than queuing for a buffet? Unsure! In light of the news that Prince Harry…
As if going to weddings wasn’t expensive enough, your bride goes and decides that ‘somewhere lovely and sunny, not here’ would be a great place to tie the knot. So not only do you have hen night, outfit and accommodation to consider, you’re going to have to factor in a plane ticket. Two, if you’re…
