Good Luck
Please please please, if you are getting married this weekend take a moment off this week with your fiance. Go for a meal, or picnic tea – a moment to cherish before the wedding. This is a precious and exciting time so savour every moment if you can.
Try to really feel the romance of the occasion. If you are screaming at this and snowed under with ‘to do’ lists, then even more reason to take some time to relax together.
Good Luck to you all, and especially to Steph and Jason. I can’t wait to see it all come together on Saturday.
Give us a call if you need a hand, its amazing what we can do for an hour that might save you half a day. http://cherishweddingplanning.co.uk

Classic wedding car
These classic cars are a perfect fun addition to any wedding. I found this company when searching for a convertible for a couple getting married in September. They are quoting reasonable prices too.

Can you plan a wedding in three months?
Two weeks ago I met a lovely couple who wanted to get married in London this summer.
Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. They did the right thing by enlisting help. They were capable of doing all the work themselves but by asking for professional advice they are ensuring that things keep moving.
We started with the venue, keeping to their list of requests. By the end of the week they visited a few and chose the Orangery in Holland Park. Because they settled on a date in mid August this has pushed the planning forward, and they have been great at making choices.
So, it is perfectly possible. My advice would be to keep things simple. Ask the venue to recommend local caterers, florists, etc.
Contact music agencies and get them to do the research for the best band.
I would spend 2 weeks getting organised, making decisions and booking suppliers, then have a bit of time off to think it through. Next, enjoy buying your dress, rings, accessories, and honeymoon.
I really believe some of the most charming weddings are planned very quickly. Because it tends to help couples keep their focus and remember only those things that are important to them.

Wedding drinks
For a wedding in the summer the bride wanted something more than just champagne to offer guests.
There are lots of choices, (pimms, mojito’s, daiquiri’s, champagne cocktails)
For a simpler look you can just drop a frozen raspberry into each glass of champagne, an easy way to add a touch of interest to guests arrival drinks. Personally, i think you can’t beat a simple glass of pink champagne, with a selection of juices for the non drinkers.
Kids cocktails are also fun, if you are inviting children to the reception.
place settings
Just a quick idea, about funky, fun, individual name settings. I love the idea of having them printed in different colours and fonts. If you are really clever you could personalise them a bit, especially for children. 
These are from www.notonthehighstreet.com, but you can easily make them yourself.
Valentines engagements!
I hope lots of you got surprise, romantic proposals this weekend.
If you are going to go shopping for the ring, take a look at Tiffanys for some inspiration.
This ring below is the most expensive i could find, and very beautiful – feel especially spoilt of you got this ring.
Its worth taking a look at www.uk.tiffany.com just to find out the price, and tease your fiance that this is the ring for you.

Enjoy these exciting weeks ahead. I would suggest starting with a planning party, with family and friends who will be an important part of your day.
At Cherish we host wedding planning parties for newly engaged couples to get them started with ideas and suggestions. For £110 (plus travel exp) we will bring pictures and lists for you to discuss things you like and to share ideas, we can offer advice and answer questions too.

Bridesmaids dresses
These gorgeous little bridesmaids dresses are from Monsoon.
They are perfect inspiration for a glitzy glamorous wedding. Little girls will love them for party dresses after the wedding, and they do lots of beautiful accessories too.



Getting started
Newly engaged – never planned a wedding before?
Its natural to be excited and overwhelmed by all the options.
Take some time with your partner and try to answer some of the questions below.
1) Think through your overall vision/ dreams for the day.
2) Decide on 3 things you definately won’t compromise money on
3) See if it is easier to decide on things you do not want to do or have at your wedding
4) Have an idea of budget, but remember this may change
5) Remind yourselves of friends weddings and see if you can identify memorable moments
6) keep perspective and ‘enjoy’ the planning, remember you don’t need to do everything yourself!

Wedding planners will answer queries for free if you email them, a little advice from the professionals can help give you the confidence to get started.
Alternatively, Cherish offer fun ‘planning evenings’ for newly engaged couples to brainstorm ideas with close friends / family.
