Stamps to put a smile on your face!
We always say that it's the little touches that add that extra something to your big day, so we just love this nifty idea from the Royal Mail.
'Smilers' allow you to combine beautifully designed stamps with your own photographs. They are perfect for putting on your wedding invitations - you could use your favourite pic from your pre-wedding shoot. Or you could use an iconic shot from your wedding day and use it on your thank you cards.

Say it with 'Love Letters'
Here is a great idea that we came across today – especially if you want to give your wedding day a completely personal touch. They are beautiful bespoke wooden letters from a lovely company in Dorset called Jonny’s Sister http://www.jonnyssister.co.uk/
The letters can be made in any size and come unpainted so that you can tie them into your own colour scheme.
We also love their large wooden letters and can think of endless ways to use them. You could use them to decorate your gift table for instance – using the words ‘Mr & Mrs’. Or you could have words like ‘Love’ or ‘Cherish’ around the venue.
Their hand carved Little Wooden Letters are cute too. They are just 6 centimetres tall and come with a white satin ribbon. You could use them around your napkins to decorate your place settings!
They also do bunting – isn’t this a fun idea for a proposal!
As well as the colours they show on their website, the bunting can also be made up in any colour scheme provided they have fabric in that colour. We also understand that they are happy for customers to send in their own fabric for them to use. How’s that for fantastic customer service!

Elegant, sexy, glamorous, sassy – what’s your style?
It’s always wonderful making new discoveries and I made a really exciting one the other day when I stumbled upon the website for ‘State of Grace’. It’s a bridal destination like no other you will experience in London, with bespoke wedding dress design, styling and personalised hair and make-up all under one roof. The new website is stunning and the bridal imagery really caught my eye, so I just had to go there myself.
Old School Glamour
The private and extremely gorgeous atelier is in London’s vibrant Notting Hill and I was invited there by the very elegant founder and creative design director, Lucia Silver. I also met her lovely head of production, Claire Grey who oversees quality control and the bespoke services for clients.
It’s for women who know what they want for their wedding day and can’t find it, or for those who really don’t know where to start and need professional guidance.
Shopping for wedding dresses on the high street can be a daunting task. There is so much choice, and after a day pounding the streets, the dresses can all morph into one leaving you feeling exhausted and confused. And then you’ve got to organise your shoes, accessories, hair, make-up....
In the calm and sumptuous surroundings of State of Grace, you are in the hands of a highly skilled team of experts to help you look the way you want – from head to toe. Lucia told me that when they researched the market, they found that many modern brides don’t want to look like vestal virgins. She says, “Women are getting married later and are often paying for their own weddings – they know their own minds and how they want to look on their big day. Some just need a helping hand to achieve this”.
You just have to make an appointment and experience it for yourself. They offer a completely personal service and you honestly feel like you are in someone’s home, among friends who want the very best for you! With the added bonus of being in dreamy surroundings adorned with bespoke jewellery, hats and head pieces, shrugs and evening coats, shoes and bags...

Heavenly Hanbury
Hanbury Manor in Hertfordshire is very special to us as one of our first brides, Nila, chose Hanbury's beautiful Garden Court to host her wedding. A few years on, we are really pleased to let you know that Clare Beckwith Weddings has been invited to be one of their preferred suppliers.
It's an opulent 5 star venue with a choice of banqueting rooms to suit weddings, big or small. Poles Hall, the original chapel belonging to the Manor House is one of our favourites. It's got bags of character, high ceilings and a minstrel gallery.
For a summer wedding, Garden Court is the perfect setting. We particularly love its walled gardens and beautifully manicured lawns.

A gift for your groom
What gorgeous gift are you going to give your groom on his wedding day? Maybe a Mont Blanc pen? Perhaps a drive day in an Aston Martin... Both lovely ideas, but I think I can help you out here with something just a little bit special and totally unique...
One of my favourite photographers, Julie Lovegrove of Lovegrove Weddings was so inspired by Gok Wan’s ‘How to look good naked’ programme, that she now specialises in her own style of classic nude and boudoir photography and is currently celebrating the launch of ‘Reveal Portraits’.
She offers packages where you can ‘Reveal Less’ (either fully clothed or showing a peek of your underwear), ‘Reveal More’ (gorgeous, classy boudoir shots), ‘Reveal All’ (I probably don’t need to explain this one!), or ‘Reveal your Bump’ (gorgeous pregnancy shots when you are in full bloom).
If you are looking for the perfect, personal and intimate gift for your future husband to unwrap on your wedding day, then this has to be just the thing. I promise you, he will adore it! It’s timeless, elegant and something for both of you to treasure for years to come.
Julie also told me that she has an introductory offer of £50 off product for any bookings received before the end of July 2010.
Go on, contact Julie for an appointment and give him a gift that will knock his socks off – and empower yourself at the same time!
