Using Groupon for Bridal/Hen Do

In today’s credit crunch, god forbid we pay for a full price meal with all the TasteLondon cards and MoneySavingExpert food vouchers going around.
Now even better, I’ve discovered Groupon which has tons of discounts. I’m a bit wary of using their food vouchers (hmm… mainly because I cant get myself to trust restaurants I just dont know and I have my 50% TasteLondon card anyways) but I’ve already bought lots of spa treatments using Group on including treatments at the O spa in Canary Wharf and cooking classes.

Candle Centre Pieces

My best friend Linda and I spent a few hours last night looking at candle centre pieces for her wedding in June. Whilst many brides use candles for an earthly glow for their wedding centre pieces, Linda wanted to use them in a creative way to decorate the table as well.

If you just want to use plain or coloured candles just by itself (would work out perfect for a winter wedding) then arranging them in different height would add depth to your table centre piece.

Lucky Wedding Numbers

When I looked at my calendar on wednesday, I realised the unique dates 8.9.10 and quickly texted my friend to tease her and say that her boyfriend and her should get married that date. She replied to say that she’s actually engaged and they were debating between having a wedding date in November or December.
So… it made me think what are the lucky numbers can other blushing brides to be and excited grooms to be choose from? My husband and I were so lucky to be able to secure …

Celebrity Wedding Invitations

Ever wondered how celebrities announce their big day? Well here is a collection to inspire you, perhaps even telling you a little bit about the celebrities themselves that you already dont know:

Chair Garlands

One of the newest trends I noted this year was having floral chair garlands… if only for the bride and groom. You can ask your florist to make one with the photos I’ve found below or even make one yourself with a simple needle and thread and string them along:

These are easy to make because you just string the flowers:

Or you could have your florist make them in heart shapes (cheesy I know!) or in ‘B’ for bride and ‘G’ for groom or even the bride and groom’s initials.
