For the Extra Touches
To make you day extra special don’t forget the extra touches...
SEATING WITH STYLE
Chairs are probably the most used item in any
wedding, from the ceremony to the reception,
so think about what your guests are sitting on!
They are also an affordable way to add pretty and
stylish wedding décor that can transform your
venue. Choose cotton or lycra covers, colours and
decorations that link with your theme. Foliage or
flowers added to chairs may work best in rustic
settings. Posh up your village hall with seat covers
that have extras touches like bows that link with your
colour theme.
RINGS
Wearing a wedding ring on the third
finger of your left hand dates back to
Roman times and symbolises eternal love.
During World War II men began wearing
wedding rings to remember their families.
The fashion for men’s jewellery has grown
along with the trend for wearing wedding
rings. Don’t choose brands though, visit
a jeweller like Barović on Stony Stratford
High Street for something extra special.
They can turn previously unwearable
items into rings that you and your partner
will cherish for life. Alternatively choose
ready-made and ask them to engrave it.
Choose carefully though as modern styles
date whereas reasonably priced antique
or vintage rings can bring style, class and
elegance.
TOP TIP
Invest in some
back-up rain
shelters if your
reception is
outdoors
REDUCE THE STRESS
A good wedding planner will listen and understand
your needs, have the right level of experience,
assistants and should not go over your budget.
Balance their skill and experience not personality
with your vision, the numbers of guest, venue and
dates.
3. If they have preferred suppliers and will they work
with yours?
4. References, read the reviews and ask others who
have used them.
5. They understand your vision, have the time and
availability to plan your dream.
Check:
1. How many weddings have they planned and how
many clients they take on each year. Is this their full
-time job, if not will they have time?
2. Services that are included and not included in the
price and how they structure their charges.
