On the 29th April 2011 at 11 o'clock, Prince William and Kate Middleton were married in Westminster Abbey. As with many previous royal couples, the celebration was a grand affair and nearly 2,000 guests were invited to witness the marriage in Westminster Abbey, with around 600 invited to attend Buckingham Palace following the ceremony.
In honour of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrating their 10 year anniversary, we are looking back at their special day and the timeless elements that still provide many couples with wedding inspiration, even a decade on.
Did you know that 80% of modern brides will uphold tradition and take their partners’ name when they get married? However, many still want to consider their options before deciding on their married surname. We spoke to our partners at NameSwitch to guide and advise you through this difficult decision and how to ease the tedious process if you do decide on a change!
You'll be investing a lot in your wedding venue and suppliers and in most cases, paying deposits months or even years in advance. How do you know that your deposit is safe, the business is reputable and that the business actually exists?
Nikita and Amelia are joined by Beaulieu-Taylor Harris to discuss wedding celebrants and celebrant-led ceremonies.
At our Customer Service Awards 2020, as well as our usual award categories, we had some extra special awards to give out. In an unprecedented year, the wedding industry has been dealt a significant blow by the Coronavirus. So, we want to celebrate those individuals and businesses who have persevered through countless difficulties in order to offer couples, their communities and other businesses the help and support they so desperately needed.
Every year we love to celebrate the best suppliers and venues in the wedding industry, all of whom provide amazing customer service to their couples. Our shortlist is made up of wedding businesses that go that extra mile for brides and grooms, and it’s always a tight-run race right up until voting closes.
If you’re reading this article, then it’s probably because you’re getting ready to pick out the single most important piece of jewellery that you’re ever going to purchase in your life. You get this wrong, and you’ll never recover.
Scared? Don’t be, I’m just exaggerating. The really important thing here is that you’ve found someone who you are ready to settle down and share your life with.
Having said that, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try to find the perfect ring. It’s a part of the tradition and if your partner can see that you’ve put a lot of thought and time into the purchase, they’ll know that you’re taking things seriously.
Making sure your bridesmaids look just as fabulous as you do coming down the aisle is important. But bridesmaid dress shopping is not easy as you’ll almost certainly be dealing with different budgets, body types, and style preferences, whilst trying to find a look that suits your wedding theme! We have partnered* with Coast to show you the beautiful options from their bridesmaid collection.
Due to an unprecedented year, our Customer Service Awards 2020 are being announced a little later than we hoped! We’d like to thank our fantastic partners this year who have helped us put together this long-awaited awards ceremony which was streamed virtually on 15th April 2021 on our YouTube Channel. Without these partners and their exceptional support, this celebration would simply not have been possible!
