The Scarlet | UK WEDDING BLOG

By Laura

My oh my, what a treat I have for you today. We’ve been looking forward to this trip for months and boy did it come at exactly the right time. After a really tough week, I was so thrilled that our trip to Cornwall fell over my birthday. Part one of our trip saw us traveling down to Cornwall, to stay in a cute seaside town called Mawgan Porth – think Padstow but without all of the hoards of tourists. Actually, it is only 7 miles away from Padstow so if you wanted to get your fix, you weren’t that far away anyway! We were staying at The Scarlet for the night, an adult-only luxury hotel that sits in the cliffs overlooking Mawgan Porth beach. They kindly put together a jam packed itinerary of spa treatments for us both but more on that a little later. Read More

a beautiful winter wedding editorial at Birdsall House, Yorkshire | uk wedding blog

Not gonna lie, winter is my favourite wedding time (please see me in July when I declare summer to be my favourite). I myself was a November bride. I like the chill in the air, no expectation for it to be a gloriously sunny day and I enjoy the excitement people often feel in the run up to Christmas, throw in a wedding and people are quite beside themselves. I also love the colour palettes around winter, its not all pastels and sweet colours, it is often rich, enticing hues of warm reds, deep purples, midnight blues and black. Todays editorial comes from a very talented team who tie all those lovely combinations together whilst taking inspiration from C.S Lewis – The Lion, Witch and The Wardrobe.

Hello! Choosing a band and entertainment was something I really struggled with during my own planning. I knew what kind of style of band we wanted but I found it tricky sourcing someone, mainly because when I was planning blogs/booking websites weren’t really a thing and it was mainly done through word of mouth. I ended up booking a really good local band but things weren’t finalised till a couple of weeks before and it was all very casual. Thankfully they were amazing and had us dancing all night but if I was planning now then the whole process has been made easy by people like Gig Heaven. They’ve provided some amazing insight in to booking the perfect band for your wedding day.

Good morning and merry Friday! Oh I am all over this crown/headband trend that is going on right now, I love that for your wedding you can be as paired back or as extravagant as you want. Me? I went full bling! I saw Cheryl Cole wearing a Jenny Packham headpiece on the final of the xfactor, this must be 2009, and just knew I wanted to wear it for my wedding. Todays editorial features some gorgeous jewels, beautiful bridal wear and the colour palette is stunning.

Top Tips for Popping the Question

So, turn your eyes to these pointers, see if any of these registers with the romantic in you, and find out how to make your proposal one that will be impossible to turn down.

Bespoke Engagement Rings and Surprise Christmas Proposals | uk wedding blog

facebook-profile-picture By Phoebe

 

A surprise Christmas proposal has to be one of the most romantic gestures. It’s not an original idea, but it’s an enduring one. Because it’s simply unforgettable. Nothing goes down in the annals of family history quite like the engagement ring hidden in a Christmas cracker, hanging on the tree on Christmas morning, or pulled from a pocket on frosty moonlit Christmas Eve stroll. But that does bring a certain degree of pressure to the proposer… not least in finding the perfect ring.

Engagement rings are always special. They are one of the most meaningful purchases you will ever make. If not the most. So laden with sentiment and significance are they. They symbolise everything – not only what your relationship currently is, but what it will be in the future. So, pretty much any ring you choose will be valued. But imagine the symbolism of a ring that you have designed yourself, especially for the person you love. That’s why bespoke engagement rings have become increasingly popular in recent years.

So, how can you set about designing your own engagement ring?Read More
