Hen Breaks at The Spa Hotel:
wedding, and the snap shots will serve as a perfect informal reminder of your wedding reception – and your guests! Other ideas: you could opt for a James Bond-themed
reception, complete with casino table and cocktail bar.
Caricaturists and table-magicians also make great entertainment options and are sure to give guests plenty to talk about! If you’re going to have children at the wedding, consider having party bags filled with toys, colouring books and crayons to help keep them quiet – or hire staff from a local nursery school to keep an eye on them.
Transport With so many modes of transport to chose from, ensuring you arrive in style has never been easier. Options range from a vintage car to a stretch limo, fairytale horse and carriages, grand entrance-style helicopters or quirky double- decker buses – even bicycles! The secret is either to choose a vehicle you’ve always wanted to
travel in (say, a grand Rolls Royce) or to go for something that matches your background and personality. While vintage cars do always look stylish, remember wedding transport needs to be reliable – so it’s vital to choose your car from a reputable company. Make sure, too, that your chosen transport has enough space for both you and your dress! Check with the hire company as to how many the car can seat. Traditionally the best man accompanies the groom, while the bridesmaids and mother of the bride share a car, with the bride arriving with her father.
Afterwards... You’ll be tired, but hopefully happier than ever before – with wonderful memories of your big day, and more to come on your honeymoon. Again, when it comes to planning this, set a budget and stick to it – but if there’s one time to splash out on the holiday of a lifetime, this is it, so get planning! Good luck – and have a wonderful life together!
