Instagram post 2196370209290654341_2230648910 WEDDING TIPS: 
According to the infamous shampoo advert, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Whilst you have been living and breathing all things to do with your wedding, the first time your guests may have any idea about your big day is when your wedding invitation or save the date card lands on their doormat.
___
There are many reasons why it is important to send invitations. Firstly, you want to share your good news with people and to invite them to celebrate your special day with you. Knowing how many guests are going to be at your wedding will also give you a clearer idea of the number of people to cater for and the venue size required.
___
But this is about more than just logistics, this important piece of mail will set the scene, the tone, the theme and your guests’ expectations of your special occasion. It also acts as a way to educate and organise your guests so that they know what is expected of them too.
___
What you say, when you send it, to whom you address it and what it looks like all provide the first experience your guests have of your wedding. So it’s really important that you plan your stationery wisely to make the best first impression.

___
Not keen on a first dance? Then how about an anniversary dance to celebrate long marriages. This is when you ask couples to all enjoy a dance together on the dance floor. One by one, the couples are asked to sit down during the song based on the length of their time together. The last couple on the dance floor will be the longest-married couple and they receive the bouquet. What a wonderful way to celebrate togetherness!

Instagram post 2195209268540817922_2230648910 I’m still vibing about the @pantone choice for colour of the year in 2020. Classic Blue is such a versatile colour and it pairs so well with different colours to produce various looks and themes. 
___
Have loved looking through photos in a mindfulness colour walk style to find Classic Blue featuring in all its glory. Here Classic Blue is the background of a stunning wall paper at @lanhydrocknt.

Instagram post 2192786977837781706_2230648910 @pantone have picked a soothing and refreshing blue as their colour of the year for 2020. 
___
The emphasis on a bold primary colour feels like a big back to basics statement and a strong, emotive and versatile colour.
____
Classic Blue (also known as Pantone® 19-4052) feels like a good palette cleansing colour after the vibrancy of Living Coral in 2019. Perhaps a safe choice, hopefully not political but beautifully calming in a sea of constant change and uncertainty at the moment.
____
It is natural, neutral and nautical.
Classic Blue is exactly what it says on the tin. Classic. A core basic colour and a stylish accompaniment to any vibrant pop of colour. I look forward to seeing couples incorporating Classic Blue into their wedding colour schemes in 2020.

Instagram post 2192059593826667659_2230648910 Don’t feel blue! You’ve got this lovely soothing colour to get you through 2020. 
Beautifully calming in a sea of constant change. 
@pantone colour of the year 2020 is Classic Blue.

Instagram post 2191826308391492695_2230648910 @pantone have announced that Classic Blue is the colour of the year for 2020! A core basic colour that I can’t wait to see couples incorporating into their wedding colour schemes next year. A stylish accompaniment to any vibrant pop of colour. And blue just happened to be my hot tip for the colour of the year in 2020! #coloroftheyear #coloroftheyear2020 #coy2020 #pantone #weddingtrends #spring2020 #ss20 #classicblue #summerwedding #beachwedding #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo #weddingplanning #bluewedding #nauticalblue #nauticalbutnice
Instagram post 2191045626555737469_2230648910 Imagine planning your wedding without the internet, without your smart phone, or without @pinterest! Goodness, imagine if you didn’t even have a ball point pen to quickly jot down ideas in a notebook! Rewind a hundred years and you’d be planning a wedding without technology and the advancements we are lucky to have nowadays.
___
I’ve recently been thinking about this era as my mother has been researching our family history and came across an amazing photograph of my grandfather’s parent’s wedding from 1911. We were amazed at the grandeur of their wedding considering that they both worked in service and so wouldn’t have been able to afford such a grand wedding.
Think Downtown Abbey or Upstairs Downstairs. My ancestors would have definitely been the ‘downstairs’!
___
I love looking at how weddings have changed over the years and also how some traditions have continued to be upheld. Despite the technology and tools we have nowadays, our wedding photos don’t look too dissimilar to those of a hundred years ago and weddings remain constant events in our society with many common and recurring features. Maybe things haven’t changed too much in the last 100 years after all.

Instagram post 2190163205828319220_2230648910 Wedding photos are a time capsule for dresses (material, styles, length and colours) along with bouquets, veils and hair styles. They are an exaggerated example of fashion trends of their day and epitomise moments in time. 
___
Considering that for many, big occasions (like weddings and christenings) are the only times when people see their extended family. So it seems fitting that these momentous occasions are captured in time to pass to others as a wonderful time capsule.
___
Timeless. Captured. Memories.
___
Here are my other set of grandparents. My Nan (self titled Mad Nan) was the last of my grandparents to pass away this year. She was so supportive and the best cheerleader to have on your side. She was kind, caring, generous and always put others needs ahead of her own. She loved her family – was fiercely loyal, immensely proud, and for many of us, the glue that kept us together.
Aside from her family, the other love of her life was Tom Jones who she always told us that given half a chance she would have left Grampy to run off with! Spoiler alert - she didn’t! The were married for over 60 years. Nan was so supportive and the best cheerleader to have on your side.

Instagram post 2189608594277072453_2230648910 I’m truly lucky to have seen both sets of my grandparents reach their diamond wedding anniversary (60th). A feat that will be harder for our generation to achieve so readily. 
Until their passing, it was a joy to see my grandparents walking down the promenade holding hands, or squeezing each other’s knees and still so much in love. 
On my wedding day, my late grandfather gave me away and his advice to a long and loving marriage was good communication. He said to keep talking about everything and never to go to bed on an argument.
