Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding - Mar/Apr 2019 (Issue 44)

Be our guest We’re planning a timeless, classic celebration, like Carla and Aaron’s real wedding in the last issue. What style of stationery should we go for? To make an impact, I’d suggest using a decadent high-quality satin ribbon that matches your colour scheme and accent it with an eye-catching embellishment. You can make your stationery look really luxurious by utilising pearlescent, glittery or patterned paper. The great thing about this look is it can easily be used throughout your big day. The invitation is your guests’ first clue to what your wedding will be like, so why not carry this through to your menus, table plan and place settings? I offer a free consultation so you can be a part of the whole design process ensuring you have items that are personal to you at an affordable price.

Thailand offers natural beauty, culture and history as well as some of the warmest people you could ever wish to meet. With tropical jungles, chaotic cities and a heavenly coastline, this country is rich in rewards for the adventurous. There are also many beaches to choose from so it’s easy to find your vision of perfection, from the peaceful seclusion of Khao Lak to the party atmosphere of Phuket. Bali has long been equated with an exotic paradise, making it Indonesia’s top tourist destination, but it’s easy to get off the beaten track. Canyoning, white-water rafting, hot springs and Hindu temples are all on offer, or join a tour to see the rice fields or climb to the top of Mount Batur at sunrise. Shimmering golden sands, compelling cultural sites and welcoming people make Sri Lanka an increasingly popular destination. Go on a Jeep safari in Yala National Park before having a go at kayaking, abseiling or jungle treks. Among its stunning temples, ancient ruined cities and other architectural treasures are several UNESCO World Heritage sites.
