Your Invitation to a Royal Wedding

So it is to be Friday 29th of April 2011 at Westminster Abbey! I wonder how much involvement Kate & William will actually have in this afterall that is only 5 months away and this is no ordinary wedding!

It will be interesting to see just how "modern day" this young couple are in their choices. Obviously a lot of what they do will be governed by royal tradition, but I suspect we will see some breaks with tradition from them too.

I also wonder how many other couples will rush to book their wedding on the same day, or whether it will have the opposite affect.

I for one am going to bag my place on the sofa with drinks and nibbles to hand so I don't have to miss a thing!

How exciting - a young Royal Wedding - just want the country needs right now!

Happy Planning ♥

Danni Minogue & Kris Smith - are they or aren't they?

The Mail on Sunday reported on Sunday 14th November 2011 that Danii Minogue's rather hunky partner and father of her new baby Ethan, had proposed to her - over the phone!

OK - so distance would have been an x-factor (do you like what I did there?) with him being in Australia and Danni and baby Ethan being in the UK but still - over the phone?? Come on!

As it happens, the Australian has alledgedly denied this over twitter (this is getting worse!) by tweeting

"Sorry guys but reports are incorrect we have not got engaged especially not over the phone....."

Now I have no idea whether they are or they aren't but it brought me to wondering - how romantic was your wedding proposal?

Come on - share it with us - we love a good romantic story - or a good giggle whichever applies!

Happy Planning ♥

Wedding in a Tent from Event in a Tent


Oh the romance! Seriously - you have to go see this beautiful Tipi in the flesh to get the sense of romance it brings. I have been lucky enough to see her fully dressed with a mix of wooden tables and benches on one side, a (all important) bar on the other with a scattering of comfortable chairs and sofas. And, the pièce de résistance (for extra romance) the fire pit!

This tipi is based on the traditional tipis of the Sami people from Lapland and is owned by Niamh & Matt who decided to set up their business following the organising of their own wedding.
Event in a Tent are based in the beautiful town of Llangollen in North Wales.

You can decorate it with pretty bunting - our favourite being by The Bunting Queen (for hire from just £1.50 a metre!) and wrap pretty fairy lights around the wooden polework.
