Spring shoots are starting to emerge. . . . . at last

Apart from the weekly supply of wonderful Narcissus (all varieties of British daffs), there's been little evidence of new growth in my garden this past 3 months and getting anything to germinate has been difficult to say the least! 

But, at last new shoots are emerging and the start of this year's tomato crops!  By this time last year, they were shooting up and flowering. . .   I think there will be lots of green tomato chutney come September!


Patiently waiting for warmer weather and the start of the spring wedding season. . .

Busy putting together some designs for a summer wedding still wrapped up in my winter layers and thinking; this time last year I was preparing for my first wedding of the season - a civil ceremony at The Seattle hotel down in Brighton Marina. . . .   The weather was considerably warmer!





Counting down to the big day?

-->Did he/she pop the question on Valentine's Day?




Now the fun begins. . . . 

Planning a wedding requires high levels of organisation and many, many to-do lists!


Give yourself enough time - depending on the size, allow between 9 and 12 months to plan your wedding.  

There's lots of elements to consider - this will provide a useful planning checklist.



Starting now and counting down. . .


12 - 9 months before the wedding date

·       Set the budget
·       Set up a filing system for details and receipts.
·       Choose the wedding date
·       Draw up a guest list
·       Decide on the type of ceremony religious or civil.
·       Meet religious minister/registrar to discuss ceremony
·       Choose and book venues for wedding and reception.
·       Obtain menus and cost estimates
·       Investigate photographers and entertainment
·       Choose the best man, bridesmaids, pageboys and ushers.
·       Make appointments to try on wedding gear
·       Look into florists and check seasonal flowers.
·       Look into honeymoon ideas and destinations.
·       Book time off work for the wedding and honeymoon.



Look out for next post. . . .
