2013 Wedding Trend Predictions

I've just read a very interesting post by Christine Dyer of Bridal Tweet and I have to say even though I have been married for a while, I feel inspired for the first time in a while to plan a wedding again.

Some of the trends she mentioned are:

1. Mint as a wedding colour.  Super cool and creates such a relaxed and classy atmosphere.

Wedding Paper Divas 


2. Paper Lanterns for Decorations.  Very affordable and adds a quirky quality to your day

Good Things Wedding Favors


3. Braids for your wedding hairstyle which I think is just so cute

Check out more of the amazing trends Christine talks about in her post 2013 Wedding Predictions

I hope you enjoy the post and do tell us what you will be doing with your wedding.

Many blessings,

Wedding Reception in a Gorgeous Marquee... Lots of Ideas in Pictures plus Spotlight on Chelsea Hire Marquees

To celebrate our attendance of the MK (Milton Keynes) Marquee Wedding Fair on the 23rd of September 2012, we have decided to feature Marquee wedding receptions in this week's post. The Wedding Fair has been organised by Silver Linings and Chelsea Hire and would feature exhibitions by 20 exclusive wedding suppliers to delight and inform you for your big day; Estilo Moda, being one of them. Click Here to find more details about the wedding fair.

Marquees can be erected in any location where there is adequate space and the possibilities for decorating them are endless.  I have been to many marquee weddings where the atmosphere felt very classy and luxurious but of course like anything else in life, some effort has to be put into achieving this as unlike in a castle where the venue is impressive already, your marquee decor could either make or break the entire setting of your wedding reception.

I have learnt so much about wedding marquees by researching the amazing work of Chelsea Hire Marquees.  They really do go the distance to help you achieve the look that you are after and they demonstrate the versatility of using a Marquee for your wedding by providing endless decor options to suit your theme; be it a daytime or night time reception.

A picture speaks a thousand words and so I will leave you with some pictures I have borrowed from their website:















Do meet us at the wedding fair and get 10% off your total order plus see a sneak preview of a few pieces from our pilot wedding dress collection.

Crucial Questions You Must Ask Your Wedding Venue – Spotlight on Horwood House (Wedding Venue in Milton Keynes)


Horwood House, Milton Keynes
Horwood House (Wedding Venue, Milton Keynes)
Every time a bride visits our bridal boutique in Milton Keynes, the first question we ask before we even start the wedding dress design consultation is ‘where is your venue’.  It goes without saying that your wedding venue could potentially be the single most important part of your wedding planning process.  The wedding venue sets the tone and theme for the whole event even down to what you and your bridesmaids would wear or how many guests you would be able to invite.

Therefore, it is imperative that you choose your venue carefully as many a bride has found herself very dissatisfied with her entire wedding because she chose a venue that did not reflect her desires for her big day.
The following list of questions and tips will help you tremendously during your wedding venue search. We recommend that you print them out and use them as a guide while you’re talking with a wedding venue contact or reviewing a brochure. We also recommend that you think of a few questions that are more specific to your requirements and add them to this list. 

- What dates are available in the month I’m considering?
- How many people can this wedding venue accommodate?
- What is the rental fee and what is included in that price?
- How much is the deposit, when is it due, and is it refundable? Do you offer a payment plan?
- Are you licensed to conduct wedding ceremonies? How much will you charge for the wedding ceremony?
- Is there a bride’s changing area?
- What’s the cancellation policy?
- How long will I have use of the wedding venue space(s) I reserve? Is there an overtime fee if I stay longer? 
- Can I redecorate your venue to suit my purposes? Are there any guidelines/restrictions?
- Do you have an in-house wedding caterer and do I have to use your caterer or can I bring my own caterer?
- Do you provide tables, chairs, plates, silverware and glassware or will I have to get them myself
- How much do you charge for food per person and what is the service charge?
- Do you offer food tasting sessions and is it complimentary or do you charge extra for this
- Can I bring in my own wedding cake maker?
- Can I bring my own drinks and is there a limit on the quantity I am allowed to bring in?
- Are you licensed to provide alcohol? If so, what is the average bar tab for the number of people attending my event?
- Are there restrictions on what kind of music I can play, or a time by which the music must end? 
- Can the wedding venue accommodate a DJ or live band? Make sure there is enough room for your DJ or band to set up and for dancing.
- Do you provide any free or paid-for parking and if not, where do guests park?
- Are cabs easily accessible from the wedding venue?
- How many restrooms are there? There should be at least 10 rest rooms per 100 people.
- Do you offer complimentary or paid-for on-site wedding coordination? What services are included?
- Do you provide security?
- Do you have liability insurance?
- Do you provide overnight accommodations and if so, how much do you charge?
- If you do not provide accommodation, what are the nearest hotels to the venue?
- Do you have signage or other aids to direct guests to my event?
- Can I take pictures of the venue?  This is especially important for your décor planning and comparing one venue with others you have viewed.
