Before I fill you in about this week’s competition and fab prize, I want to tell you about my week.
People often assume that my life is an endless round of going to marriages, honeymoons and celebrity parties. To be fair, that is pretty much the case, but I am always trying to learn something new to bring back to you. A case in point would be my visit to the Celebrity Subbuteo Championships...
Every year, all celebrities are contractually obliged to get together for this momentous occasion, and this one had some of the best playing I have ever seen. The final was a tense affair, between the Mick Hucknall/Marg Simpson team and the George Clooney/Ronnie Corbett contingent. With 11 minutes to go George and Ronnie were 2-0 down. To make matters worse they only had nine men, and one of those was just the base as the figure had snapped off, plus the goalkeeper had to have an emergency repair (ie be stuck to a drinking straw with a bit of Blue Tack after a particularly naughty tackle by Simpson's centre forward). However, even throughout Hucknall's devious psychological attacks (a rousing rendition of "Holding Back The Years'), Ronnie and George stayed calm and won the day 3-2.
"What has this got to do with weddings?" I hear you ask. "Nothing" is the answer, but it has every thing to do with relationships. Ronnie and George won the day because they worked together as a team. They supported each other, and were there for each other - no matter how difficult things got. The moment you say "I do", you formalise that bond with your partner - you are a team and you are in it together. Enjoy every moment of it.
This week I want to tell you about two articles all about shoes, written by Victoria Babbs of Varna Shoes.
Now personally, I like to fill my shoes up with champers and drink from them - but I know some people prefer to wear them. The first article is one for the brides, and the second one is for you to print, or email to your mum. As for grooms... well let's start by saying that your football boots are not appropriate as wedding-day attire, and I would suggest clean socks.
With increasing numbers of brides opting for three-quarter-length or shorter dresses, bridal footwear is more on display than ever before.
Shop around
"If you buy your wedding dress from a shop, most will also offer shoes as an accessory. If you don't like the range they stock, or you think their prices are excessive, don't feel obliged to buy. Take some time to consider the height, style, colour and level of comfort you are looking for. Heel height Firstly you need to decide on the heel height.
High heels, kitten heels or flatter pumps are the main choices. Ask yourself the following questions before making your decision..." - read the full article here.
Shoes for Mothers of the Bride and Mothers of the Groom
This is definitely an article to print our or email to your Mums! - If they use the 'newfanggled interweb' (as Colin the Donkey's Mum calls it) you can send them this link.
"The first rule for any mother of the bride and groom is to establish the colour of the outfit worn by each other. This way each can avoid embarrassment of turning up for the big day in the same colour, or worse, the same outfit."
I do love competitions and this week my friends at Wedding Treasures are offering a personalised cake topper to the lucky winner. Wedding Treasures will work closely with the winner to design the cake topper (worth £89.95) , based around photos of the b2b/h2b and their outfits.

LisaC2B has started a hot topic Where to Honeymoon? so has earned her place on my 'Hot topic Wall Of Fame'.
LisaC2B says " I was wondering if one (or many) of you ladies could help us. We have decided we are going to go on honeymoon about 8 weeks after our wedding which will be October time. Where is good weather wise at that time of year?".
Do you know you can add a YouTube video to your personal weddingpath? It’s so quick and easy to do.
Your choice of video could be anything from a comedy wedding dance to a song by your favourite band – whatever you can find on YouTube that you think your guests will enjoy. And, of course, once you’re married, you can upload your wedding video to YouTube and link to that from your weddingpath instead.
You can see a rather amusing example here.
Wedding coach Lesley Stratton Hughes is holding a special wedding-planning workshop called Creating Your Authentic Wedding. It will help you break the planning process down into easy steps and show you to how create a wedding that really expresses who you are.
"If you want maximum enjoyment from planning your special day and would love to remain composed, confident and in control throughout then this workshop is for you! It's in Brighton on 13th October and you can get all the details at www.gettingmarriedinsideout.co.uk"
Have a wonderful week.
Love and apples!!!
