It was a very busy show and we were pleased to welcome everyone who stopped to visit our stand and also our Past Brides who came to see us and to look at photographs of their wedding receptions.

The interest was as predicted; the traditional fresh floral arrangements and table decorating sets which were very well received. As too was the ever popular balloon table topiary tree with feathers.

There were lots of general questions about wedding planning and our renounced design and decoration service and lots of interest in the items for hire. But the most popular items by far were the new foam flower bouquets. Many Brides and their Friends were fascinated by them and couldn’t help themselves picking them up and smelling them!

You will find us in our usual spot, outside John Lewis main entrance in Milddleton Hall. This year will be taking a selection of foam floral work and some balloons novelties for your perusal, along with our signature items.

We are also pleased to launch our new online Wedding Boutique this Friday and we will also have details of the vast selection of items for hire, from glass vases to full sized lit Topiary trees on our other sister site, Rainbow Weddings.

Another three day weekend is upon us, here in the UK! Time to have a lie in, take it easy, catch up on Jobs? Alternatively use the extra time to sort out your wedding!

Here are a few ideas for making the most of this bank holiday (particularly as it is forecast to rain!):

• Look at your theme - Have you connected all aspects or are there parts that need to be embellished by your theme? Look carefully and use this time to experiment.
• Start organizing your Guest list; make sure that your friends and family are included. Check with both sets of Parents to make sure everyone who needs to be invited is on the list
