Unfortunately, all weddings in the UK have been postponed due to the current worldwide covid-19 pandemic. This is truly a devastating time for a lot of couples who have been waiting for that special day and have now had to postpone. Currently the UK government is advising that weddings may be able to go ahead in July 2020. Couples have no choice but to either cancel or postpone until they are given the green light.
How should I postpone my wedding?
The majority of couples have decided to postpone until 2021 due to these unsettling times. However, you do not have to completely postpone to next year and could still have a very small ceremony this year under the new social distancing rules. To find out more information on this check out the official government website.
If you are postponing you will need to let your venue and suppliers know ASAP. Contact your wedding insurance company to find out where you stand and make a plan to inform your guests, hopefully of a new wedding date!

Picking the perfect colour palette for your wedding is a huge decision and not one you should take lightly. But how do you choose when so many colour schemes look amazing?
#Pinterest – you should take a look at all of those amazing photos you’ve saved or pinned and see if there seems to be a pattern. Are most of them a blush pink colour? If so, this is a huge indication of what colour palette you are aiming for.
#venue – use your venue for inspiration – if you are having an indoor wedding then most venues will already have a colour scheme in place – this could be a contributing factor as to why you fell in love with your venue.
#theme – the colour palette must fit your overall wedding theme – are you having a cosy barn wedding? Maybe a winter wedding? Fitting your colour palette with your theme can ensure you pick the perfect shade
Inviting all of your guests to your wedding is a big step in planning your wedding, therefore choosing the correct information to put in your invite is very important. Whether you want the invitation to be traditional or creative is entirely up to you but all wedding invites should include basic information such as;
Who’s hosting the wedding – Traditionally the bride’s parents host the wedding, but you can name whomever is hosting. If it’s a joint affair hosted and paid for by the bride, groom and both sets of parents, you can also use “Together with their parents”, the request to attend the wedding e.g. “would love for you to join them. “honour of your presence”, the names of both the bride and groom, the time and date, the location – name of venue, reception information, dress code and the RSVP information – This is usually on a separate return card but in modern times most tend to put a contact number.
Deciding on bridesmaids dresses
It’s probably the hardest decision a bride has to make, but when you’re thinking about the bridesmaids’ dresses and how you want them to look, it’s easy to get wrapped up in your own individual thought process. Even though it’s your special day, you should take the bridesmaids unique tastes into account.
It’s almost impossible to please five individuals with one dress, so you’re not always going to have all five or all seven bridesmaids who absolutely love the dress you’ve chosen, but you don’t want to pick a dress that one of your bridesmaids hates, so working together with them is going to be important. Perhaps talk to them about colour ideas first, and if you can get them to all agree on a colour that they’re all happy with, then you will have put yourself in a positive situation early on. As long as you listen carefully to their thoughts, you’ll be absolutely fine, but ideally get their dresses sorted early so you’re not having a panic a few weeks from the wedding.
It cannot be denied that many people love to throw parties to celebrate different occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, graduations and many other kinds of events. These special events can be further enjoyed with the perfect theme party planning. The theme is very crucial in party planning because it helps to make the party enjoyable and makes it possible to be remembered by the guests. The use of a theme can be the easiest method for finding the appropriate decorations, food, and even the people who will be invited to the event. What are some of the essential guidelines that you need to follow for a perfect themed party? Let us look at some of the guidelines below.
Why is the wedding cake so important?
When you compare the cost of a wedding cake to the cost of a birthday cake, the results are quite amazing. So why are wedding cakes so expensive, and why are couples happy to pay over the odds?
Well, the right wedding cake is like the ring, the venue and the wedding dress, there needs to have been some real time and effort involved to create it. For birthdays, people are quick to buy an off-the-shelf cake but for a wedding, every ingredient can be customised and it usually is. Then, of course, there’s the time spent decorating the cake so that it matches your flowers, the décor of the venue and the main colours of your wedding. The wedding cake will always be an important part of the day because the cutting of the cake is a famous ritual that’s not likely to die out anytime soon. We feel couples should always put it the time to choose a cake that’s just right for them and their wedding, as it’s a real reflection of their big day.
