So, last weekend I got to sample a FABULOUS idea for a hen party – candle making! The Tweedy Gift Company makes candles and the lovely Tracy, who runs the company, runs candle making workshops to teach you all she knows. I arrived at 10am on a Saturday (she does this once a month for…
There is it, embossed and leaping out from the invitation like a big silver bullet to the purse…’Dress Code: Black Tie’. Men LOVE this. A tux, a white shirt, dickie bow and black shoes. Done. Us girls, however, feel the fear clutching at our hearts, our tummies and our purse strings when we see those…
You might think that you can go to any old flower shop and get your wedding flowers sorted. And I’m sure some people do, indeed, do just that. However we are big believers that your wedding suppliers should suit your wedding style and understand what you want, and this in turn leads to happy couples…
Oh boy. The most popular person you know, with a huge family and loads of connections, is finally tying the knot. And you’re invited. This is an invitation to a Mega Wedding. You know the type – around 300 ‘of my closest family and friends’. Oh yes, going to a Mega Wedding is not your…

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…
I’m getting married today. TODAY!! It’s still dark. Why am I awake? Tad excited I suspect Not as excited as my niece and flower girl, Holly Who gets up and shouts ‘ooh this floor is cold’ at the top of her voice. I’m awake. Again. Might as well get up (it’s 5.30am). When is the…
