Wedding lessons

Pretty sash on the chairs in the venue chapel, the ribbon alternated between this, pink and white (just like the invitation colours!) Simple, yet stylishly pretty!
  1. Don't rely on the weather - and if it pours, make the best out of it by having your official photos in pink gumboots...quirky!
  2. But do warn guests that they will be travelling on a dirt road (luckily we left our Ferrari at home!)
  3. Don't overdo the speeches - seriously! Best man, father of the bride and groom - the end!
  4. Buffet style dinner is the way to go!
  5. Gift registries do make life easier for guests - but bear in mind people's pockets!
  6. Cash bars just make a lot of sense - but perhaps subsidising the beers and cidars is quite a good idea too!
  7. More champagne on the tables is always appreciated by your guests :) else they might resort to stealing!
  8. Have fun with your guests - dancing, drinking and sharing the special time together is what it's all about. And hats off to the bride & groom still in the bar when we left at 2am!
  9. Simplicity is always the winner - your wedding shouldn't be a competition!
  10. Being at weddings makes you think of your own....thank goodness I've got time and plenty more weddings to go to and learn from!
