By Andrea Petrou on October 6th, 2009

bespoke.jpgIf you and your groom have decided to buy one and other wedding presents but you’re now regretting it as you can’t find that special something, then we might have the answer.

BBC DJ Jamie Wilkinson, has come up with a clever idea that not even we can fault; a bespoke radio show. The “show” is a CD full of songs and messages, presented as a radio show. You can include your first dance and favourite songs, some of your readings and even “telephone shout outs from your friends and family.”

Your anecdotes, memories and stories about your groom will also be read out by a professional presenter, and, the package will also let you chose a celebrity sound-a-like congratulatory message.

Prices for this package start at £195. You can also opt to make one of these as a wedding favour for your guests, but you will need to call the company to find out prices for this.

Fancy favours to make it a wedding your guests will remember

By Andrea Petrou on August 18th, 2009

Although it’s not a requirement, and people won’t always expect it, it has long become tradition to give your guests a favour at the end of the night as a way of saying thanks for attending your wedding. After all everyone likes presents don’t they.

Now I’ve had my share of favours in my life varying from crystal and diamond shaped pomegranates, which would have looked more apt on my great nan’s mantle piece, to a beautifully packed box of chocolates.

So what’s the best thing to give? We’re not talking a celebrity VIP bag full of the latest perfume, make up and designer bags, although we wouldn’t mind having one of these, some nicely packed chocolates, or traditional sugared almonds are fine.

However, if you want to go a step further there are also favour options such as grow your own plants, trinkets or you could even make a donation in each guest’s name to charity.

We have a look at the top ten.

By admin on January 28th, 2009

Etoile de Mer favours.jpg
I first discovered Etoile de Mer back in January 2008 and it just popped in my head to visit them online today. I’m so glad I did as their wedding favours are just as much a pleasure to look at now as they were then. Whether you want a chic card box wrapped in ribbon or pots of invidual honey with little spoons or a polka dot box with sandal charms, they’ve got it covered.

There are favours suitable for other occasions too from babies to seasonal offerings so visit them online here and keep them bookmarked!

Princess Poppy’s The Wedding by Janey Louise Jones

By admin on December 30th, 2008

PP Wedding.jpgGifts for your flowergirls don’t have to cost oodles – they are a token of thanks not a measure of cost. I’ve been reading Janey Louise Jones’ Princess Poppy books with my daughter and they are charmingly illustrated, nicely written and easy for littlies to follow. The Wedding, which comes with a story CD, would make a well themed present for a flowergirl in the 3-7 age range. It’s £4.49 at Amazon.

A thousand paper cranes – ideal for crafting enthusiasts

By admin on December 22nd, 2008

KimandBrent.jpgIf you’re bored of stuffing sugared almonds into circles of chiffon, spare a thought for the couples who painstakingly make a thousand paper cranes before their wedding. These gorgeous origami cranes are made from colourful printed paper and look amazing together and are said to bring luck so I’m all for that.

The couple, Kim and Brent, posted the pictures of various aspects of their DIY wedding and there are plenty of ideas to inspire you if you’re going the DIY route. Congrats to the couple! [via Craftster]

Heart of gold: the Ernest Jones 9ct white gold heart locket

By Hannah Kane on December 16th, 2008

heartlocket2.jpeg
When I was a cute little 5 year old with golden ringlets (many moons ago before I discovered GHDs and peroxide) I was asked to be a bridesmaid at wedding – after which the bride presented me a lovely silver heart locket that I have treasured ever since and worn religiously every day. This 9ct white gold necklace (£97.87 from Ernest Jones) is very similar, and I guarantee it would make a wonderful, lasting gift to the girls helping make your day so special.
