Don't Tell the Bride

Have you been watching Don't Tell the Bride?
In case you have missed it, it is basically a programme on BBC Three that gives the Groom £12,000 to arrange the wedding alone without the bride knowing any of the details.

They live separately for 4 weeks while the Groom has to organise everything from the venue and food to the brides dress! This results in a lot of tears and extra money being spent on emergency dresses in quite a few episodes once the bride gets to try the dress on.

It makes for great viewing as there are a lot of tears and tantrums - from both the Bride and the Groom! It does make you wonder why Brides sign up for this programme though if they don't trust their men to organise the wedding- i can only presume it is the money.

The question is.. do you trust your partner enough to organise your wedding day for you?

What Theme Are You Going For ?

Congratulations to those of you who are planning their wedding at the moment.
We would love to hear what theme you are going for.....

Last year we did lots of country fete, festival, vintage style weddings and would like to hear what ideas you have up your sleeve to create your perfect wedding day.

Olympics Themed Wedding

Happy New Year !
It is now 2012 and the year of the Olympics. We have a feeling that this year is going to be the year of bright colours. We have already had quite a few enquiries for bright weddings that are fully embracing the Olympic theme.

The colours of the olympic rings are lovely and bright - you could have each table as a different colour to add impact as soon as people walk into your venue. This is easily done with table runners, napkins and flowers.
Table names could either be different sports or countries with a quiz on each table.

If you really want to embrace the theme you could hire our giant outdoor games you could have a compeititon running throughout the wedding while you are having your photos done. Just ask a few friends to man a station and keep score then hand out medals after the speeches. You could also hire lanterns in each colour or bunting to add dramatic colour and have gold medal chocolates as favours.
