So 2012 brides, this is YOUR year! Excited? Nervous? Don’t worry mixed emotions at this stage are definitely normal! Are you panicking about the last details? Have you decided on your favours, invitations, place cards, wedding party gifts, booked your trial hair and makeup, sorted out your marriage licence, etc, etc the list of the last details just goes on and on but don’t worry I am here to help lighten the load of your endless list with a few items I have come across. However I am more than happy to help you with any ideas if your train of thought has well and truly stopped! Just drop me an email and I will be your fairy godmother! J

One thing I want you all to remember especially if you are getting married this year is make sure you enjoy these last few months/weeks on the run up to your wedding because once they are gone you won’t get them back.  There is no shame in asking for help if you need it whether it’s from a friend or a wedding planner as you are the bride so enjoy the excited anticipation of your hen party, your final dress fittings, choosing your wedding present list, dreaming about your honeymoon, etc.

Looking for something fun and quirky?  Check out these cute teapot timers from www.fabulousfavours.co.uk.  If you love afternoon tea and you want to incorporate it into your wedding this is definitely a favour to think about.

Ladies, ladies, if you are very girly and want to incorporate that into your theme then these two favours will be right up your street!  They are both from www.fabulousfavours.co.uk   Below is a stiletto shoe bottle opener decorated with a trio of sparkling rhinestones.  Very girly!!

This cute little pink polka dot handbag manicure set is fabulous, also great if your wedding colours are pink.

DIY Favours

Want to make your own wedding favours on a budget but need a bit of inspiration? Give your female guests a scented candle each from Ikea or Dunelm Mill and place a personalised printed label with the date of your wedding.  Or if you really want to go the whole hog you could add that little extra special touch by adding the name of your guest onto the label.  But please do not stress yourself about this as it’s not essential and shouldn’t be done if you don’t have a lot of time as you will just add extra unnecessary pressure onto yourself.  Make sure you ask if a discount applies on the candles if you are intending on buying a lot.
