Venue of the month - February!

Last week I was in Florence looking at venues, some for the first time and others old friends! But this venue was so breathtakingly beautiful, knocking spots off of all the other 5 star villas in Florence it ticked all the boxes, making it February's venue of the month! 

Its Leap day!

Today is the 29th February 2012 and i am a great believer of keeping traditions alive. Now if my research is correct the tradition of a lady proposing to a man on the 29th February started in Ireland! It is said that a man who refuses the proposal on leap day must buy here a gift as an apology. I even like the guideline for this gift, it should be 12 pairs of gloves...

Fashionable guests arrive at a wedding on Lake Como

What to wear to a destination wedding is a question we get asked a lot and with several wedding to go to myself in the coming months I totally understand this dilemma.  Also as with most destination weddings there are to be welcome parties, dinners obviously the big day and then another dinner the next day, a wardrobe full of beautiful dresses is not only what we desire but what we require!
