How to Put Together a Gift List That Really Rocks

Palm tree dinnerware When it comes to choosing things for your wedding gift list, I think adding your own personality to the proceedings is the way to go. I mean, sure, you could order a silver kettle and a set of white dinner plates, but why not have a little fun with it? When The Wedding Shop got in touch to ask if I'd like to curate some of my favourite items from their website, I jumped at the chance to do some fantasy shopping. Hum, I feel like I might need the pink palm tree dinnerware in my life for real though.

A few weeks ago I was invited by wedding dress designer Caroline Arthur to attend her Perfect Fit Event at the picturesque Gate Street Barn near Guildford. The day was put on, not just to promote the amazing suppliers involved, but to share information to help educate brides about how to get the right fit for their wedding dress. This is something Caroline is super passionate about so it was so inspiring to see her in action. I learnt so much too!

With the release of the new movie, Alice in Wonderland is a huge trend in weddings right now. The ‘eat me’ labels, playing cards and white rabbits are enough to transport you to Wonderland. Add in a few flamingos and mad hats and I'm sold.

Today I wanted to do something I have't done for many years, to introduce you to a quirky new wedding supplier, but in the form of an interview.

We all know I am obsessed with headwear, the crazier and more colourful the better, so I think it'll come as no surprise that today I'm chatting to someone who makes wool pom poms and turns them into gorgeous things to wear!

If I've said it once, I've said it a billion times - investing in your wedding photography is SO important. However in all the discussions we've had on this topic, there's one thing that's often forgotten (and I'll admit, even by me sometimes) and that is the wedding video. I understand why so many couples decide to not have one. Whether its budget constraints, memories of cheesy 90s VHS tapes, thinking you'll probably never watch it afterwards, or not liking how you look or sound on film. So I decided to open the discussion on the topic in the Rock n Roll Bride Facebook group. Here's just a very small sampling of what they had to say.

March 5, 2016

I was about 18 when I first discovered Bicester Village, an open air outlet mall in Oxfordshire. Designer goods at discounted prices? Sign me up! I've visited the village a number of times since then, always leaving with something fabulous yet affordable (my best find was my DREAM Vivienne Westwood handbag that I'd been lusting over for months which I got half off!)
