Today I was reading a wedding ideas magazine and I saw a feature on the Indian theme. There was a unique idea to have sari table runners like this one:
I think its a wonderful way to inject some colour on your table and make it look unique. This way you can save on flowers or other table decorations because you already have something colourful and different.
There are also other varieties:
This one was more of a patchwork. I’m not too keen on that. I prefer if its one colour and has …

Today, I’ve been at Queen’s Cub in Kensington on a chocolate making course. I first saw a feature on chocolate making by the Chocolate Delight company in the London Paper, a local newspaper. The classes run on weekends and are between £55-100. My course on Sunday at 2 pm was for £57. The course includes all ingredients and as many marshmallows in chocolate fountain as you can eat.
The course instructor was a very lively chocolatier called Alan and he pads out the course by explaining the history of chocolate and some …

Anyways, here are some ideas of wedding cookies. Im …

So I’ve been walking around with a big smile on my face after yesterday’s purchase. I emailed two friends of mine who married a few years ago to find out where they had their dress altered, how much it cost them and about dry cleaning details.
One of them was very helpful and sent this to me:

Yes I’ve done it – I’ve gone out to bought my wedding dress from Pronovias. I know there are cliches about how you know its “the dress” and its true!! I was just red with excitement when I bought it.
There was a sample sale this weekend and I went without thinking much of it. I’ve never heard of Pronovias before and so I didnt even bother to remind my cousin about my booking. Pronovias is a spanish designer and they have about 600 stores in the US and Europe. They …
