A new chapter in our lives…

Dear brides to be,

Well Saturday was the most amazing day, the sun was out and everything went to plan.

I have to admit that last week was a bit stressful, but it was well worth it as everything fell into place at the right time and all of our family and friends had an amazing day.

A massive thank you to our Photographers Barker Evans and all of the staff at Eynsham Hall for making our day perfect.

Thank you for sharing this time with us, but we are now off on honeymoon and starting our new life as Mr and Mrs H-D.

I have included a couple of photos below, so you can see how we looked on the day! There will be more to follow, so watch this space…

Good luck with your wedding planning.

How to pick your bridesmaids?

How do you pick your bridesmaids with out causing a Bridezilla World War 3?

It is always difficult to know how many bridesmaids to have, but more is not always merrier! A good rule of thumb is to have one groomsman and one  bridesmaid for every 50 guests – but that doesn’t mean you need to invite a stranger to make a perfect even number at the alter! Also more bridesmaids means more people have to agree on one dress! Secondly you need to consider how close they live you. If you are expecting your bridesmaids to hand write wedding invitations or make thousands of microscopic favours then your friend who lives in Timbuktoo is not the best idea. Thirdly, don’t forget your guy friends! Although it is the tradition to have a feminine bridesmaid if your best friend is a man then don’t immediately reject him. The person that knows you best will give you the best hen night, bridal shower and will make the day just the way you like it!

Finally it is important to let people know who your bridesmaids are. There is nothing worse than the wait  for that ‘never-arriving’ request to be your bridesmaid. A real friend will understand the decision you make. Once you have made your decision remember to make your bridesmaids feel appreciated. Why not treat them to a spa day or have their hair and make up done for the wedding? Remember Happy bridesmaids makes a happy bride!
