I’ve been quiet for a while. I haven’t really I’ve been quiet for a while. I haven’t really known what to say or do. Things are so hard to comprehend. I’ve found it overwhelming. ___ I read a book to my youngest this week called ‘Swimmy’ by Leo Lionni (originally published in 1963) and the message really hit home to me. It is a beautiful children’s picture book about a brave little fish who shows his friends how, with ingenuity and team work, they can overcome any danger. ___ The wedding industry is getting hit hard. Everyone’s business is being affected. It got me thinking about what I could do to help the wonderful local wedding suppliers near me. ___ So I’m offering my blog as a vehicle to local wedding businesses whilst this crazy scene plays out. ___ Please let me know if you’d like to place a *free* banner advert on the blog. ___ Or whilst your work load is possibly reduced, maybe you’d like to write a guest blog giving top tips from your part of the wedding industry – this would get shared across all my social media. ___ Or you’d like to submit a real wedding or styled shoot that you’ve been involved with. ___ We are stronger (virtually) together. #strongertogether #bemoreswimmy #supportlocal #keepitlocal #weddingindustry #weddingprofs #witney #howcanihelp
Get the bunting out! For centuries, ‘putting the Get the bunting out! For centuries, ‘putting the flags out’ was the cue to celebrate something great that has happened and to really push the boat out. ___ And these decorative strings of paper or material triangles, often called ‘bunting’, have been used at many a street party commemorating a momentous occasion like D-Day, the Queen’s jubilees, royal weddings, and festivals. ___ Take a look at the blog this week for top tips from @dorisandtate on how to complete your venue with beautiful bunting. ___ #festivalwedding #ecowedding #ecoweddinginspiration #ecofriendlywedding #ecobunting #bunting #weddingbunting #ethicalbride #weddingbuntinghire #greenwedding #buntingdecorations #handmadebunting #upcycledbunting #countrywedding #getthebuntingout #puttheflagsout
How will you use the extra day that we have to pla How will you use the extra day that we have to play with tomorrow? ___ When it comes to proposing, traditionally a leap year meant that the tables were turned and women could have the chance to propose. ___ Superstition suggests that it is traditionally seen as unlucky to get married on a leap day (29th February), though some people comment that you’d only have to remember your wedding anniversary every 4 years. ___ Whether you’re superstitious or not, hope you get to embrace the extra day this year. ___ #leapyear #29thfebruary #leapday #weddingtraditions #weddingsuperstitions #savethedate #setthedate #theweddingdate #luckyinlove #taketheleap #leapdayproposal #extraday
We live in such a stunning part of the country, co We live in such a stunning part of the country, commonly regarded as an area of outstanding natural beauty. It’s no wonder that every year 20,000+ of couples getting married in England choose to say ‘I do’ in a wedding venue in the Cotwolds. ___ Mainly rural landscape, with it’s lush green countryside, the Cotswolds is a relaxing escape from the big cities. With acres of lavender fields, historical towns, stately homes and picturesque, chocolate box villages with their honey coloured limestone buildings. ___ And I’m feeling the love this week as I’m getting to work with some super talented, local wedding professionals, with amazing services and products. We are blessed to have so many small, local, independent businesses in and around Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. ___ #keepitlocal #weddingsuppliers #lovehearts #lovethecotswolds #weddingsupplier #weddingshowcase #cotswoldwedding #cotswoldweddingblog #hanamidream #oxfordshirewedding #weddingblog
‘Why am I always the bridesmaid Never the blushi ‘Why am I always the bridesmaid Never the blushing bride Ding dong, wedding bells Only ring for other girls One fine day Oh let it be soon I shall wake up in the morning on my own honeymoon.’ Charles Collins and Fred W Leigh ___ At one point in my life, I honestly thought that the film 27 Dresses was written about me! I thought I was destined to only ever be a bridesmaid and not a bride. ___ I have actually been a bridesmaid 5 times in my life. According to superstition, if you are ‘three times the bridesmaid, never the bride’ - so you are destined to end up on your own. ___ Not to worry though, this curse could be lifted once you’d been a bridesmaid at 7 weddings. Or according to folklore, you can also reverse the curse by catching the bride’s bouquet. ___ For me, it wasn’t a curse though – it was wonderful to be a bridesmaid. It feels so wonderful to share someone’s special day and be part of the wedding party. ___ And I was lucky enough to play a number of different attendant roles at weddings. Find out more about the role of the bridesmaid on the blog this week. http://www.hanamidream.co.uk/always-the-bridesmaid-and-never-the-bride/ ___ Whether male or female, the attendants are the support network for the bride and groom, helping them to plan (and enjoy) their big day. ___ #bridesmaids #alwaysthebridesmaid #alwaysthebridesmaidneverthebride #roleofthebridesmaids #27dresses #weddingtraditions #weddingsuperstitions #chiefbridesmaid #maidofhonour #matronofhonour #flowergirl #weddingparty #bridalparty
