Guest Video! British Blogger Matthew Oliver on Kids At The Wedding

by

Kids at the wedding – an age old debate. British wedding planner Matthew Oliver weighs in quite emphatically in this video. Big Fat Note – we are laughing very hard but not endorsing all of his wickedly funny comments! The kids issue can be handled appropriately either way…but hearing Matthew’s view is more amusing than the indignant kid advocates, whose thoughts can be pretty self righteous.  Check out more of this endearing Brit’s”5 reasons” videos here.

“I swear children have a club, and at the club they talk about ways to ruin a wedding.” – Matthew Oliver

Bridesmaids & Groomsmen’s Gifts – Avoid Envy!

by

I’ll never forget a wedding rehearsal dinner I attended where the proud groom beamed as his groomsmen opened their gifts: (then brand-new to the market) ipod shuffles!  I stole a glance at the bride across the room gifting garnet jewelry to her dearest friends, matching the maroon dresses they’d wear the next day. Dresses they’d paid dearly for, and would likely be on their way to Goodwill within 48 hours of the bouquet toss.

Gifts that mean something will touch Bridesmaids more than matchy matchy jewelry.

The groomsmen were gleeful as they  tore open the little boxes from Apple like kids on Christmas morning, and high-fived one another.  The girls sat drinking champagne quietly.  Let this be a lesson, brides. Chances are, your bridesmaids already own lovely jewelry they can wear to your wedding. So what if it isn’t matchy matchy? They’ll all show a bit of personality. That leaves you free to give them something that really reflects how much you care, and is not made of Swarovski crystal. Best of all, you get to see your girls high-fiving at your rehearsal dinner. Christmas morning here we come!

Be well and love well,
