Avoid a boring wedding: Have a wedding theme.

Introduce some fun to your wedding affair and avoid having drunk uncles and cousins sleeping on the table out of boredom in addition to alcohol. A wedding theme is a good idea to entertain your guests and add some pizazz to your party.



Whether you decide to have have a Casino Royal Wedding, Cabaret bridal party, Arabic Fantasy wedding entertainment, Medieval or Winter Wonderland wedding theme is up to you.

Remember it doesn't take much to achieve great results:

For an Arabic wedding theme, you can have belly dancers entertaining your guest and bringing them to the dance floor.


For a casino theme you could have blackjack or poker tables and hire some slot machines.



Possibilities are endless!!
You could even specify a dress code on your wedding invitation and have your guests dressed according to your theme.
Either way, it will be fun original and stand out from the traditional Victorian Wedding Affair.

Crunch in the mouth: go French with your wedding cake

The 'Croque-en Bouche ' is a classic French style wedding cake. It's a great alternative to the traditional iced-white-wedding-cake and will ravish your guests' taste buds.

It's made of profiteroles (choux pastries) filled with creme patissiere (French custard). They are dipped in caramelised sugar which when set gives the cake's name justice: crunch in the mouth.

It's traditionally decorated with nougatine curls and sugar almonds with an optional spun sugar veil, but cake maker often offer a variety of options like chocolate fillings, vanilla flavouring our Baileys finishing.

You can serve the choux with fresh fruits for a summer feel or caramel and chocolate sauce in winter.

It's a winner and we can't get enough of it!!

Save money on your wedding dress: shop charity!!

Today’s featured bridal charity shop:

St Ann’s Hospice bridal charity shop in Cheadle, Greater Manchester




With its art deco interior and preserved from it’s past settings as a bakery and tea room, the bridal department of that charity shop should actually be addressed as a bridal parlour. The second-hand dresses are called pre-loved dresses in this blushing bride sanctuary but new dresses, shoes, tiaras, and bridesmaids outfits can also be found. Grooms and pageboys can also find their “bonheur”.


One of the features that every woman will enjoy is the spacious, comfortable changing room, especially when it comes to splendid but sometimes voluminous dresses. Gentle lighting, soft furnishing, everything is of good taste and the prices are low.



New dresses can start from £50 and range between £80 and £200. The quality stays outstanding and the coziness of the shop make the experience very exclusive.
