Lady Diana's Wedding












I remember watching Lady Di's wedding ceremony on TV,i must have been four or Five years old. It is one of the memories that are still vivid in my mind. I guess that is where my fascination or should i say my obsession with weddings started. I hope these images bring back memories for you too.

The Reception Menu

Hi Guys

The catering at your reception sets the mood for the entire wedding. I like to say that it is the pillar that holds everything together.

Make the menu unique and interesting; it should reflect your personality and your style. Do remember that the menu will take up the biggest chunk of your budget.

If you are working on a tight budget, I would suggest that you start with your menu budget, then your invitations and work backwards.

People will forget what your wedding dress looked like, but they will never forget how hungry they felt at your wedding.
Finding the right caterer might take some time but it will be worth it at the end of the day.

So get out there and be creative with your menu for an unforgettable wedding reception!

Invitations







Hi guys,this week i would like us to look at invitations. What i have learned over the years is that your invitations set the tone for the wedding. Wedding invitations should also represent your style and personality,so put an effort when deciding on the design of your first tool of communication. Also very important before i sign off is to put aside a good budget for your invites. I'm finalising my brides invitations today,we have been stuck on trying to get the directions to the church right...By the way always make sure that all the important info regarding your wedding day is on the invitations it will save you a lot of heartache. I will be posting different invitations which i think are cool throughout the week...

So this morning I went to meet with the Marquee owners for my upcoming wedding. The wedding is taking place at the bride's home and the shape of the yard is a good old 7! It's a bit of a challenge which I am soo ready to take on...
