Looking After Your Wedding Guests
It goes without saying that you will be the centre of attention on your wedding day. But, when planning your celebrations, looking after your wedding guests, can help make the day even happier and more memorable for your guests.
Here are a few ideas you may wish to consider.
Stationery Ideas For Winter Weddings
Your wedding stationery 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.
Stationery ideas for winter weddings 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!
How to Wear a Pocket Square
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.
Perfect Wedding Day Nails
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.

Throwing confetti over the newlywed couple is still a very popular tradition.
Confetti is the Italian word for sweets.
In medieval Italy, wedding guests would throw sugared almond sweets over the bride and groom as they symbolised fertility and prosperity. Over the years this possibly painful tradition evolved into paper and flower petal alternatives!
This is most likely to be the reason why gifts of sugared almonds are still very popular as wedding favours.
