Friday’s Five top tips - For the Groom’s

1 Don’t get a haircut just before the wedding, especially in summer. If you’re tanned, you can have an obvious white line where the hair used to be
2 Practise putting on your tie, especially of you haven’t worn one since your school years
3 Again practise putting in your cufflinks or ask a groomsman to help. They can be a bit tricky when you’re feeling nervous
4. Speeches – have a paper copy to hand in case your phone battery dies and to be honest – it looks better in the photos
5. Get to your venue early, time goes quickly saying hello to your guests, talking to the registrar/ vicar, having your photo’s taken etc
The main thing is enjoy your day and I hope these tips have been useful

Wednesday’s wedding venue
This week I’m highlighting Awberry Farm in Beenham – situated between Reading and Newbury.

We visited this venue last October for a wedding fair. It’s a fairly new venue and I have a feeling it’s going to be a popular one.

It’s mainly based in a converted barn with a beautiful, beamed ceiling it has a relaxed feel to it. There are sofa’s dotted around and bookcases full of books.

There is a beautiful outside ceremony area -it looked fab on a cold Oct morning so I can only imagine how amazing it will look in Spring/Summer with a view that goes on for miles

There are also getting ready areas and which I didn’t get chance to view so I’m hoping I’ll be working there very soon to check them out and update you.

I’d forgotten all about the celebrations Datchet put on for the Queen’s 90th birthday until a Facebook memory popped up this morning
We went down to the village to photograph the celebrations just as all the traffic was stopped to let the Royal party through to get Windsor Castle, if you look carefully you can see Prince Harry at the back of the Range Rover - Kate and William were also in the back
The evening’s entertainment comprised of many things including the lighting of the beacon and a couple of amazing fire eaters - good times

What a great day we had at Katie and Ricky's wedding, it was relaxed and fun and held at the Oakley Hall Hotel in Basingstoke, a new venue for us. The daffodils were still out making a beautiful backdrop for the couple shots and the sun shone all day. I hope you enjoy a few teaser photos

We visited a new wedding venue a few weeks ago for a wedding fair and I think this venue is going to be really popular

It’s the Barn at the bottle and glass Inn, it’s about a 10-minute journey from Henley nestled in the countryside.
It has a great space for outdoor weddings, surrounded by fields and the barn itself is great, cosy and quirky, a fabulous space to use. The venue has lots of other areas to use such as the pub and tepee but working hard at the wedding fair, I didn’t get chance to explore. Hopefully I’ll be back soon to have good look round

I must also mention the food, we were lucky as suppliers to be able to sample some of the food – it was fabulous, cooked in front of us and such a wonderful use of flavours - highly recommended by all of us

It's Pancake Day!
Do you love them or loathe them?
What do you put on them?
Nutella is a great favourite in our house.
This year I've promised to make more of them not just on pancake day - I wonder if I'll remember or will it be another year before I make them! - Enjoy
