Honeymoons in South Africa - Cape Town's hidden gem scoops awards

Friday, 29 January 2010

We love being able to share suppliers of all kinds with you and it's especially gratifying when they win fabulous awards and we can say, "See, we always knew you were great!"

I am delighted that one of our favourite hotels in the world, yes the world, has just been awarded no less than four prestigious Tripadvisor's Travellers Choice Awards - my personal favourite being for Customer Service. Huge congratulations to Jo, Carol and all the fabulous team at Derwent House in Cape Town, South Africa! There is no doubt that this award is most definitely deserved - if you're looking for somewhere special to honeymoon, you could do no better than to let these wonderful people look after you.

By the way, mine's the sun lounger right next to the pool, and please make sure there are enough breakfast pancakes left for me!

Until next time,

A wedding photographer is for life, not just for weddings

Wednesday, 27 January 2010

We've raved about Jill Thorning-Jensen and her fabulous wedding photography before and here we go again!

This time it's not wedding-specific but given that weddings, bumps and babies are often a natural progression - not necessarily in that order! - it seems only right that we let you know of some other ways you can work with the lovely Jill.

Jill loves working with pregnant women to capture the beauty of an incredibly special time and, once that bump turns into a beautiful bouncing baby, she's the lady who will capture the personality of your bundle of joy.

And if you check out her photographer's blog entry from 13th December 2009, you'll see why I know exactly what I'm talking about...

Until next time,

Wedding tiaras and jewellery - Andrew Prince

Friday, 22 January 2010

Oh there is just nothing like a little bit of bling to lift an otherwise dark and dreary January day. And believe me when I say that the gorgeous tiaras and jewellery you will find in Andrew Prince's store near Bond Street, London, and on his fantastic website, is so much more than a little bit of bling!

Simply the most stunning costume jewellery we have every come across, it's no wonder that Andrew Prince's work is often mistaken for the real thing. The pieces on the website are just gorgeous, I'm still trying desperately hard to think of a reason why I might have the floating seven star tiara, and a visit to the store should definitely be seen as a treat (make sure you call first to check they're open).

I've just remembered a friend of mine who confessed to wearing her wedding tiara every week when she hoovered the house - now if that's not a reason to place an order for that floating seven star tiara I don't know what is...

Until next time, happy planning
