Brown Wedding Theme

Posted on Oct 12, 2010 in Article

Brown has become a very popular colour to use for a Wedding Theme. You can mix and match to create the mood that you would like. Chocolate Brown is great to use with Champagnes and Golds for a more elegant feel, but if mixed with Blues or Teal can create a more relaxed mood.

WEDDING MUSIC The wedding music that you choose is one of the finer details that either makes or breaks your special day!

Wedding Speeches

Posted on Jun 25, 2010 in Article

I don’t envy people who have to say speeches at weddings. For those who are not so outgoing, saying a speech at yours or a friend’s wedding can be very nerve-wracking!
