Why hire a wedding
planner?
Why hire the services of LMS Weddings,
Wedding Planner for Shropshire
and the West Midlands
With an average wedding costing
approximately £20,000, planning a
wedding now requires the professional
expertise of a wedding planner.
So why hire a wedding planner?
As well as saving you the stress of
organising your wedding, I can also
save you time and more importantly
money with my database of recommended
suppliers.
My services include everything from
helping you to source a suitable wedding
venue, helping you with budget
management through to being there
on the day itself, and everything else
in between needed to plan your big
day.
One of the popular services that I
offer is my On the Day Co-ordination.
This is a fantastic choice if you are
having your wedding reception at a
more bespoke type of venue or even a
marquee. I can ensure that the day
runs smoothly and that timings are
kept to plan so that you can enjoy
your day without any worries, or you
may have thought about asking one of
your Guests to do the job meaning
that they miss out on enjoying your
day with you.
Each service begins with a complimentary
initial consultation where I will
get to know you as a couple. During
this time, you can tell me about your
dreams for your big day, what is important
to you. From this I can help to
plan your dream day. For more information,
please visit my website
www.lmsweddings.co.uk or call me on
07980 679575.

Look Better, Feel
Better
Look Beer, Feel Beer from
the inside out on one of the
most important days of your
life!
Everyone wants to look their
best on their Wedding Day –
hair, skin, nails, figure etc but
all the rushing around
preparing for the big day adds
a lot of stress for the body to
deal with and brides, grooms
and their whole families can
get to the big event feeling
worn out.
During this period, if you’re
trying to lose weight its
important to ensure you also
get the right amount of
vitamins and minerals into
your body for your hair, skin
and nails to connue to
thrive.
Feeling red can also be an
issue – most people are not
aware that B and C vitamins
are water soluble which
means they only stay in your
system for 4-6 hours and if
you don’t replace them you
will feel red and sluggish.
If your main focus is the big
day plans, why not ulise a
few carefully targeted
supplements and products
designed to make your life
easier and keep you on track
to looking and feeling your
very best at your Wedding.

A brief history of the wedding cake...
W
edding cakes have been
part of the marriage
ceremony going as far
back as medieval times.
Originally they were made of wheat
which was a symbol of fertility and
prosperity. As a relic of once
performed fertility rites, these
'wedding cakes' would have been
thrown at the bride.
the good fortune and future
prosperity of the couple. It was
only the children born to the
couple whose marriage had been
celebrated this way, that could
qualify for high office in Roman
culture. Not only did the cake give
good fortune to the couple, it
insured a bright future for their as
yet unborn children.
Around 1900 years ago the Romans
began baking wheat and salt into
small cakes to be eaten. During the
ceremony the groom would eat
part of a loaf of this barley bread
and then he would break the rest
over his bride's head. This was
taken as a sign of good fortune and
a blessing for long life and many
children.
The guests would try and obtain a
crumb for themselves as they too
believed they would then share in

The
Wedding
Ring…
Almost 5000 years ago,
ancient Egypt was the first
known culture where
people would exchange
"rings of love" often made
of woven reeds or leather. It
is said that the Egyptians
saw the ring, a circle, as a
powerful symbol. The band
with no end representing
eternal life and love, and its
opening representing a
gateway to worlds unknown.
Rings were highly regarded in
their culture, especially
scarabs and signets.
Signet rings, used as a
personal signature,
continued to be used by the
Greeks and Romans. It is said
that the signet inspired some
of the earliest known
betrothal rings in Rome. Yes,
in Egypt they exchanged
rings as gifts of devotion,
then in Greece they gave
rings to lovers featuring Eros
the god of love or his
cherubs. But it is believed
that it was the Romans who
linked the ring to marriage.
Most commonly with a
"fede" ring, depicting two
hands clasping in love or
agreement/ dextrarum
iunctio. These designs could
be made in solid gold or
carved in stone, like a signet,
often in cornelian,
aquamarine, garnet, or onyx.
