As Brits' (if you are from the UK that is) are known for complaining. We don't know why, we just love to complain. And we love to complain about complainers. It really is just a vicious circle. And when it comes to planning a wedding it's important to consider some things that may get pee your guests off. Now this post is not to say that your guest are going to be complainers as in fact, most wedding guests are usually very polite, but there are some things that you could do when planning your wedding that could in fact reduce the amount of complaints or whispers and just generally make your wedding an even more happy place. 

So as you've probably guessed (if you're still following me after my spam of wedding posts) that it's official. WE ARE MARRIED! Yes that's right, exactly one month today on the 23rd October 2015 my lovely fiancé became my lovely husband.

Halloween and Bonfire night is officially over which means one thing, it's time for Starbucks Red Cups and Lush's Christmas collection. Every year, I say that I am going to pick up the new collection of bath products and every year I end up leaving it so late that some either sell out or I just completely forget. Bad blogger I know. But this year, I just happened to be in my local town centre the weekend that the Lush Christmas collection had been release - horray to me - as this means that I managed to get my hands on a few goodies from this years range. Happy Charlotte. 

Yes I know holidays are that time that you save up to go crazy and enjoy yourself, without worrying about how much things cost or how much you are drinking and eating in my case. Whenever I go on holiday, I like to plan to make sure that I don’t have any nasty surprises (and by surprises I mean charges on my credit card or phone bill) and that I have enough to enjoy myself whilst still being a little savvy. But, what if I told you that you can still eat out every night, drink all day every day and explore said countries, but save a little dollar at the same time? Ahh I’ve got you interested now.

Planning a wedding is hard. Possibly one of the most stressful, time consuming and mind boggling things ever. It’s even worse planning a wedding abroad, especially on your own - as let’s face it, Grooms are useless - but as I have a personality like Monica Gellar I absolutely loved the experience (ish) which is why I wanted to share with you the tricks of the trade and a few tips which I hope will help planning a wedding abroad (or even in the UK).

There are so many “wedding traditions” nowadays, I bet you don’t actually know what the history or meanings are of some traditions. The most familiar tradition you’d have heard is the Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Lucky Sixpence in her shoe. Albeit most forget the sixpence element but it’s still the same. According to The Knot, this tradition is relating to an old English rhyme about objects for the bride to include in her wedding outfit or carry on her big day as good luck charms. Usually these tokens are given from your mother, sister or other relatives. Although its usually the maid of honour’s job to arrange this for you, it’s much more common now for brides to just get these themselves. If you are looking for ideas for a family member, friend or even yourself then look no further as I have a few ideas for you to hopefully suit every bride.

Planning a wedding abroad is rapidly becoming the ‘in thing’ with newlyweds nowadays, not only are you more likely (okay more or less guaranteed) to have nicer weather but the overall wedding costs are a lot cheaper. Well for the Bride and Groom anyway. Win! Usually, when choosing to get married abroad you would have already had a location in mind. This maybe your favourite holiday destination, somewhere that is connected to you personally or you may have family and friends there. Some of the favourite destinations (or the ones that I see pop up the most) are Spain, Italy, Santorini, Cyprus or the French Provence. Wherever you decide , the most important thing is make sure it’s exactly how you want it and you do your research!
