The First Dance
The first dance at your wedding is a very special moment for you to share with your new husband/wife and your guests.
You could choose a song that represents your relationship or has a special meaning to you and your fiancé, or simply a song you both love!
Choosing the colour scheme for your wedding is such an important part of the planning process.
You don’t need to follow what other couples are doing, now is the time to embrace your individuality and creativity!
Taking inspiration from your wedding venue and it’s surroundings is the best place to begin.

An irresistible men’s fragrance is simply a must for the groom on his wedding day.
Studies have shown that wearing a great fragrance can improve your mood, give you confidence and leave a lasting impression in the memory.
All the more reason for choosing your fragrance carefully, it really is the perfect finishing touch!
The term Eau de Cologne relates to the potency of the fragrance. Eau de Parfum has a strong concentration of fragrance oil, and will last for more hours on the skin.
Eau de Toilettes and Eau de Colognes have a much lower concentration of fragrance oil making them less potent.
It goes without saying that you will be the centre of attention on your wedding day. But, when planning your celebrations, it can be the little things you add in that will make the day even happier and more memorable for your guests.
Here are a few ideas you may wish to consider.
Your wedding stationary is the perfect way to give your wedding guests a big hint on your colour scheme, wedding style or theme; the venue and even dress code of your big day.
Stationary should fully reflect the theme you have chosen for your wedding, so your guests will know what to be ready for.
Sending invitations should be done in advance, of course, and it’s now time to send some to your guests to invite them to your Christmas or New Year’s Eve wedding.
Let’s have a look at some inspiring ideas that you may like and hopefully choose for yourself!
A stylish pocket square is the perfect finishing touch for the groom and his groomsmen.
The origins of the pocket square go back to the 16th century when it was linked to the handkerchief, but it evolved to become a symbol of wealth, status and style.
It may seem quite a simple accessory, but there is an art to wearing one, including several techniques for folding.
As the Mother of the Bride or Groom, it’s not always easy to find the perfect outfit that fits and flatters your body shape, looks elegant, and makes you feel good on the most special of days.
The thing to bear in mind is there are no hard and fast rules, gone are the days of stereotypical frumpy outfits.
These outfits are figure flattering, age appropriate and designed to give you confidence on the day.
Pretty Flower Girl Hairstyles
For the youngest member of the bridal party, the chance to dress up with the adults and be pampered is a rare and very grown-up occasion.
As an added bonus they will probably be on their best behaviour when they feel included. All eyes will be on your flower girl before you make your grand entrance, so be sure to choose a hairstyle and outfit she will love.

Choosing how to wear your nails on your wedding day might seem like a small decision, but your nails will be front and centre in many of your wedding photos.
