Well, you know looking smart is a must. The very fact that you’ve been invited means at least one of the lucky couple thinks the event will be in some way enriched by your presence, and the very last thing you are going to do is let them down. So you are going to make the effort, but what exactly does that mean and does what is required of you depend in any way on who it is who is getting married, where and how?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Huge apologies for it being 9 days late! But hey ho, we’re still in the ‘New Year’ and we are certainly still wishing you are all happy! We have slightly been off the grid over the holidays, what with traipsing around the country visiting wonderful family and friends. The other thing that has kept us busy (as well as continued planning of our fantastic 2017 weddings – more to follow on this), is that Matthew, Winston and I have just moved house (exciting!) and dealt with all the craziness which comes with it! But we are settled in now and love it!
Right, I think that’s enough of a catch up and now to the important bit! Which is our first guest post of 2017, coming from the lovely people over at lunss.com, a site dedicated to custom made dresses online. They’re here to talk about subtle but important wedding day tips, have a good read and pop over to their site to see what they’re all about…
Hello!
It’s blog Friday! (actually I just made that up… It’s Friday and I’m writing a blog..) Anyway… It’s Friday! Hurrah! I hope the week has gone well for everyone? Winston and I have been forced to listen to Matthew attempting to sing along to Alicia Key’s new album (please feel sorry for us), whilst we’ve been finalising our new website, in preparation of it’s launch!
This week I wanted to speak to just the brides out there about Bride attire, and attempt to pass on some advice that I’ve picked up over the last couple of years. I know what you’re thinking, ‘wow you must look awesome in a wedding dress!’ And you are of course right! 😉 Anyway here are a few points to keep at the back of your mind when looking for your wonderful wedding day attire;
Bonjourno!
Apologies it has been a little while, as always we have been all over the place, which can leave little time for writing. Though saying that I have found a little time on our flight back from the stunning Amalfi coast, where we have been doing a little recce for one of next years weddings, and let me just say, it is BEAUTIFUL! But enough about that and a little more about today’s blog, which is…
Hello!
Sorry it’s been a while! I hope you are all well? We’ve had quite the busy summer wedding season, which has been amazing! You’ve probably seen from the numerous Insta photos, but it truly has been diverse, both in location (we’ve been flying all over the place!) and style (we never like to do the same thing twice!). You’ll see more pictures on what we’ve been up to in the coming months, once the the wonderful photographers and videographers do their magic!
Hey All!
I hope all is well with everyone?!
During our crazy but wonderfully successful July of weddings, i’m sure you all saw but we did a particularly beautiful wedding at the fantastic Trinity Buoy Wharf in London. It was a long exciting day with many elements and cultural traditions,many of which were new to me, but were all befitting of the theme of the day and designed to bring two families together. This got me thinking about wedding traditions in general and more specifically the tradition of speeches.
HelloHello!
Here at Matthew Oliver we are gearing up for an incredibly busy month of Weddings from London to Loire (Valley) and a few places in between! But before we jump into full on planner mode I wanted to tick this off my ‘to-do’ list and write a few (hundred) words to you lovely people!
Bonjour lovely people, how are you all doing? Any lovely weddings happening this weekend? Do tell us what your plans are?
I’m sure most of you can relate to my #fridayfeeling today – ‘Your Speed Doesn’t Matter, Forward is Forward!’
Hello All!
I hope the week is going well for most? Me? I’m Great! This week I have one question… How do you entertain those guests with a limited attention span?! Well there are a few options out there, some of which we’ve planned as part of a Matthew Oliver Wedding and others I’ve just happened across and thought… ‘LOVE IT!’.
So you’ve gone through the pains of dwindling your mammoth guest list down to those special people you wish to share your wonderful day with, what comes next? The waiting… the tense few months when you get to find out who can make it, to witness the coming together of you and your loved one, followed by copious amounts of food, bubbles and dancing of course! Though what can be done to make this bit of the planning a little smoother? There are always going to be those guests that just don’t RSVP, most likely due to the fact that they have seen you and said ‘yeah I’m coming’, thinking that is the same as RSVPing …it’s not. Though in all honesty I have been guilty of that thinking once or twice! Oops!
Yes, it has finally happened… Matthew and I are officially working together and so far it is going great! And no it isn’t just because Matthew is in London today and so it is just myself and Winston in the studio! To be honest with you, my first day was actually yesterday (shh!), but I was so busy with the first day craziness I forgot to tell you all! Sorry about that! So here I am writing to you now about how it’s all going…
Bonjour again!
I know two posts in one day, what has gotten over me!
I’ve brought back the #fridayfeeling as I saw this quote today and knew I had to post it because it’s actually how I feel right now!
