Bride Wars at the Movies

Bride Wars

From this weekend you can go to the movies to see Bride Wars with your best mates. ‚   It stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, both engaged and wishing to marry in June at the same venue in New York.

So if you or a friend have a wedding coming up and you want an evening out to relax and have a bit of a laugh, then why not check it out.

I haven’t been yet, but you can’t beat ‚  a girly flick. ‚   I particularly enjoy these:

  • The Wedding Planner
  • My Best Friend’s Wedding
  • Muriel’s Wedding
  • Mamma Mia
  • 27 Dresses

Ayrshire Wedding Planner finalise’s next Exhibition

The Ayrshire Wedding Show is less than 3 weeks away, and Sarah’s Creative Occasions will be exhibiting a gorgeous array of creative ideas for you and your Wedding Day.

We’ve been busy in the last week:

  • designing a new leaflet for Sarah’s Creative Occasions, copies of which can be obtained at the Show
  • prototyping a mock-up display, to determine the ‚  arrangement for each Wedding piece
  • sourcing the remainder of the display items
  • preparing the Wedding moodboards

As always, Sarah’s Creative Occasions likes to put on a show with a difference, and so we’ve been out to a garden nursery this weekend to seek inspiration for two special decorative pieces ‚  that will continue our eco-friendly theme for this new season.

Hope to see you there on Saturday 31st January or Sunday 1st February

Ayrshire Party Planner’s Eco Friendly Transport

If you are planning a Wedding or a Special Occasion, then please think of the environment when choosing your mode of transport to and from the venue. ‚   Here are some eco friendly ideas to consider:

  • Can you and your guests actually walk, taking in the fresh air?
  • Could you arrive by pedal bike, or a tandem cycle?
  • How about turning up in style, in a beautifully decorated horse and carriage.
  • Is there a local bus or train service nearby that could be used instead?
  • If necessary, hire a limo, minibus or a coach to collect and drop off your guests.

Post 100, my goodness!

As part of our environmentally friendly theme, why not ‚  use some gorgeous potted bulbs as your table centre pieces at your Wedding.

These can also ‚  be used as gifts for the Bridal party which won’t die after a few days, but will be ‚  seen blooming ‚  year after year around your Wedding Anniversary. ‚  

The pots need not be plain, you could make use of tea cups, tea pots, glass bowls, wicker baskets and more, see the images above for your inspiration.

Recycle your Christmas Cards

Christmas Cards re-used for Gift Tags

My last festive blog for this season. ‚   You are sure to be soon taking down all your Christmas decorations, if you haven’t already done so and with this in mind, I have a few suggestions of how to recycle your Christmas cards.

  • The worst you could do, is to simply make sure you pile them into your blue bin, for the local council to recycle them.
  • In support of The Woodland Trust, hand your cards into Tescos, M&S, WH Smith or TK Maxx, and in turn they will plant 1000s of new trees.
  • If you fancy a bit of crafting, take some scissors and a single hole punch, and cut out various images from your cards which can be used as gift tags for Christmas 2009. ‚   Any oddments of thin ribbon or wool can then be tied to each gift tag, making them ready for next year to decorate your wrapping paper.
