KIND WORDS - A SMALL HINDU WEDDING

I make no qualms in saying that Asian weddings are at the top of my favourite kind of weddings to plan. They are vibrant, beautiful, colourful, authentic and the cultural elements and rituals are just fabulous.

Last year, just when I thought it would be this year, my lovely couple decided to push ahead with their wedding during the restrictions. From 180 headcount down to 28 and 10 days’ notice to get back on board, I headed up for the lovely Poundon House in Oxfordshire for my couples wedding day.

Whilst I have planned small elopements, this was my first micro wedding as we have come to know them in 2020. It was fun, romantic, intimate, full of banter and so full of love. All their important nearest and dearest was there to help them celebrate and I was absolutely privileged to be a part of their amazing wedding journey.

Today, I just received a gorgeous card in the post that reminded me of all those happy memories that said

Dear Sian,

We’re sending this far later than intended, but as we approach our 1st wedding Anniversary, we’re remembering the joys day we had and what an important part of it you were!

Thank you so much for coming back on board for our covid wedding bat such short notice, for working the madness of the day and for making sure we had the perfect day!

We hope you have been keeping well over what has continue to be a turbulent time with the pandemic and that you are back in your element, sprinkling that BusyBride’s Fairy Dust over other couples big days.

Lots of love
Nisha & Neel ###

TABLE LINEN

You will no doubt take time with your perfect floor layout and of course your seating arrangements too and you also carefully select your colour scheme, but then do you think about your linen?

Now I am a fan of white linen that allows this simple colour to bring to life your tableware and acessories, but but there are times that matching linen with your theme works well.

If you go over to who specialise, you can get lots of inspiration for your wedding day table design. They also have a series of blogs that helps you style your tables on a budget.

If you struggling to figure our if your colour scheme in a linen will work for you, then maybe consider what your accent colour is and bring this in using napkins or, as we all know well, I’m a huge fan of a charger, which can bring that extra level of elegance to your tables. If you have a metalic colour, this is always useful to bring in to your theme on your tables.

Whilst we are talking linen, my biggest bug bear in wit weddings is unironed, unmatching or stained linen. 😡

You spend a LOT of money on your wedding day and you want it to be perfect in every way.

So if you can pre-empt this by asking your venue or the person providing your linen that you insist that is must be stain free, matching and ironed linen, you should be 50% on you way to ensure that it will be perfect.

I do wish I could remember what the groom said to me that had me in stitches, but clearly a very funny moment.
