Hello Hi Hey...

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my first and hopefully not the last of my blogs for wedding wishes. I can't believe it is February already, January just sprinted by...

I am Carrie and fingers crossed if all goes well I will be getting married October 2013 date to be confirmed. 


Lucky for me not only am I getting married, two of my very good friends are getting hitched as well this year and in 2014. I will be living all things weddings for the next couple of years, which means I will have loads of wedding gorgeousness to share.


Just a little taste of futures blogs

Happy New Year

At wedding wishes we just wanted to wish all our suppliers and follower a happy and prosperous 2012

In the new year we hope to be getting bigger and better, our long awaited app will be launched in the spring. 

We will be introducing you to our new blogger Carrie who is getting married in October 2013. She will be sharing her planning adventures and giving you the low down on the what is happening in the wonderful world of weddings.

We like to send a special thank you to our lovely suppliers old and new. Look at for new features being added to the website over the next few months.

So if your still at a lost as to what to buy that special man in your life for Christmas, I have done a little research for you.  I have been reliably informed by the men in my life that they would be over the moon to unwrap any of these goodies this Christmas.

I am sure you don't need me to tell, but your cutting it a bit fine! especially if you're going to be ordering online. To avoid playing delivery roulette I think its time to hit the streets and get shopping

I love this non floral  Bouquet I adore butterflies
so I find this simply stunning.

Going non floral on your bouquet is also a
great idea if you are on a budget or
feeling a little creative

Sweet Scents

Until this week I never realised just how important a brides perfume choice is to her. 
whilst out shopping earlier this week myself and my best friend  ended up having a lovely conversation with a gorgeous and very excited bride to be (Debbie) and her chief bridesmaid (Masie) in Starbucks about what perfume to wear on her wedding day.

Chanel No5 a classic and is alway in the to five of wedding fragrance hot scents

I always thought when the time comes for me to get married I would wear my usual scent after all it's what I know and love right? wrong...if you add the three questions below into the mix it gives you a little bit more to think about.

I can't get enough of the Daisy collection by Marc Jacobs 

Do you choose your tried and tested favourite scent?

Do you choose the scent the your husband to be likes?

Do you choose something your mum or or nan like as it can double as your something old something new?
 

Estee Lauder beautiful is another classic wedding fragrance

After much debate I still think I would go wear my favorite signature sent something Masie agrees with, after all my husband to be is marrying me so that is treat enough for him!

Estee Lauder Pleasures is the wedding fragrance  to five

Debbie decided she would wear Chanel No 5 as it reminds her of her nan so it's will be her something old.

Agent Provocateur Maitresse is also a winner with brides

How did you chose what perfume to wear on your big day?
