I have to bow down and praise Suzanne from Here Comes The Bride for rescuing our couples on several occasions this Spring!
HCTC has beautiful, luxurious stationery for the modern bride. From the stationery I’ve seen, they use only the finest materials from lush satin ribbon to thick card stock, and a range of chic fonts.
They’re normally booked months in advance so if you need wedding stationery soon, book yourself in!
Thanks Suzanne and team. We’re forever grateful. xxoo
Event lighting is the true mood setter for any event. A well thought out lighting plan can re-create the room and change the entire ambiance. You have many lighting choices when it comes to lighting your venue so it’s best to work with a lighting professional as they’ll have the expertise and technical know-how. Event lighting can take you back into time, it can take you into the future, it can create any type of atmosphere you may wish to achieve. It’s a very important element to a big celebration and one that shouldn’t be overlooked.. You may wish to have your guests enter the venue through a tunnel of fairy lights leading to the grand ballroom or you may wish to have amber lit walls for a magical evening. Your dance floor can have a customised stencil with your monogram lit in the centre, also known as a gobo. Lighting options are endless, so speak to the experts!
The first dance is one of the wedding memories you’ll never forget. Five years after my own wedding, I can still remember every moment from my first dance to Alison Krauss’ song, “When you say nothing at all”. Below are three top tips for a memorable first dance:
1) Make it meaningful. Almost every couple has a song that makes them think of one another. If the song is suitable for a first dance, give it a shot as after all the first dance is for the two of you, not for your guests.
2) Listen to the lyrics. It’s important to listen to the lyrics in a song before making the decision on your first dance. Some songs seem sentimental and romantic but the lyrics portray a different image.
3) Don’t stop dancing. If you have a rehearsed dance routine that doesn’t go to plan on the day, don’t stop dancing! Either start the routine from the beginning or bust your own moves- either way have a back up plan in case this happens.
The wedding industry may be especially good at marketing towards brides, but the modern groom is becoming increasingly involved in the wedding plans. If you are one of these modern men then check out the below wedding planning blogs for grooms:
