July 5th, 2009

 

1. Why not give female guests a Breast Cancer Campaign Pin - all proceeds go to charity and it is a great way to remember a loved one.

 

2. You can also buy a Breast Cancer symbol that has tiny flower seeds embedded in to the design, so your guests can leave the wedding plant the ribbon and have something to remember your special day.

 

3. Instead of a traditional wedding gift list, you could ask guests to buy the new home kit from Present Aid website and help a family devestated by a diaster get back on their feet.

 

4. You could set a donation page on the British Heart Foundation website and have your guests make donations instead of a gift list.

 

5. Cancer Research Uk also have a wedding donation page, alot of us have been affected by cancer whether it is a family member, friend or even yourself. Why not have guests donate to your page instead of having them buy you a wedding gift.

Wedding Food Ideas

June 26th, 2009

 

Buffet, these should always have a centre piece as well as all the usual suspects, voluvonts, sausage rolls, goujons, sandwiches and so on, try using a whole poached dressed salmon or a carved meat platter, remember the buffet has to contend with the bride for some attention so make sure it looks appealing!

 

 

Hog roast, perfect for the summer on the patio or part of the party in the function room, compliment this with salads, new or jacket potatoes, and coleslaw.

 

 

BBQ more popular in the summer for obvious reasons, but many weddings have a firework display in the evening so this would work perfectly whatever time of year!

 

 

Treat your guests to something different, a mobile fish and chip van or an ice cream van for a summer dessert.

Wedding Tips and Ideas

June 23rd, 2009

 

Why not add a bit of fun at your wedding by putting up the hen and stag night pictures in the toilets? To spice it up a little, put the stag pictures in the ladies and hen pictures in the gents!

 

Write a special note to the close people involved in your wedding such as the bridesmaids and ushers explaining why they are sp special, and put them in an envelope and leave them at their place setting at the wedding breakfast. It will be something they keep forever! 

 

Make your ‘order of service’ more memorable by adding information such as the history of the venue.

 

With digital camera’s being used much more than disposable cameras, give guests a blank CD with a stamped address envelope so they can burn their pictures and send them to you easily.

 

To get the right wedding ring fit, always try them on when your hands are cold.

 

You can remove water marks from satin shoes with a dab of white spirit.

 

When sending out invitations, number your RSVP cards against your guest list, this way, if someone forgets to fill in their details you know who it belongs to.

Go american with old musscle cars, Pontiacs, Mustangs, Plymouth’s or a Dodge,streached Hummers and American style limousines

 

For elegance, you cant beat a horse drawn carraige, total elegance and a bit of time before the ceremony for the bride to gather her nerves and thoughts.

 

If a no expence spared affair is on the cards why not try helicoptors? There are hundreds to choose from, from the Robinson R22, Bell Jet Ranger through to the Agusta 109.

 

Are movies your thing? if so you can hire cars from almost all your favorite films and programs, such as a Ford Grand Torrino from Starsky and Hutch, KITT from Knight rider, The white 1948 Ford convertible from Greese, back to the futures Delorean, and pretty much anything you can think of!

 

New limousines, The Rolls Royce flying spur, Bently Continental, Mercedes E and S class cars, Jaguar S-Type.

 

Flamboyance! Performance car hire, fancy getting your hands on a super car? Ferrari’s Lamborghini’s Porsche, Audi R8, Lotus Elise, Maserati, Aston martin, The list goes on..
