HOW TO PLAN YOUR DREAM WINTER WEDDING

*This is a collaborative post

Are you considering a winter wedding? It comes at no surprise that summer time is the most popular time to get married. People tend to be put off  having a wedding during the winter months due to the weather and how cold it can be. However a winter wedding can be just as romantic, especially with the cosy atmosphere and gorgeous wintery colours. You may even be lucky and get snow like Stuart and I did on our special day. 

Ways to celebrate your Anniversary

On February 4th 2014 me and Stuart will have been married for two wonderful years. 

We married in a local church and then had a reception at a hall not too far away. 

We had a 4 o clock wedding, with approx 50 friends and family members and 

then a lovely meal and then the snow decided to come making

people leave before the evening had really begun. 

Still we had a wonderful day as it was about us making our vows and

spending the rest of our life together. 

I have decided to compile a list of ideas for celebrating your anniversary 

whether you have been together 1 year or for 50 years. 

1. Write an anniversary letter 

this year I am going to give my hubby a personal letter 

2. Bake an anniversary cake together

I love this idea we can have this as dessert instead of having one when we have a meal out

3. Have a meal out at your favourite restaurant and dress up 

of course the frugal bit of this would be that you order a starter and a main

or just a main to save you £'s and still have a good time. 

4. Have a 2 meals for £x meal deal thing

We will most likely do this for valentines this year however it's a fab

idea if you want to save more £'s instead of going out. 

Most supermarkets do these deals in the past we have got them 

from Tesco, Morrison, Marks and Spencer and Waitrose.

5. Do joint gifts

This year for cotton we are doing a joint gift which after

our anniversary I'll show you.

6. Enjoy a lovely breakfast together 

Make something that you don't normally have that often 

such as scrambled eggs and salmon or pancakes. 

7. Go out for coffee and cake

If your a fan of Costa or Starbucks why not enjoy a mid morning or afternoon

coffee and cake. 

8. Go for an evening walk and watch the sunset

I love the idea of going to a lake we have in our area for a walk and seeing the sun setting.

9. Recreate your first date

10. Play your first dance song

11. Go through your wedding album together

12. Have an annual wedding anniversary photo of you both 

13. If you can afford to go away for the week/weekend or evening just for the night

14. Go and see a show at the theatre 

I hope you like my ideas if you can think of anymore I would love to know :)

Review: Hello Canvas Prints

Hello Canvas was founded back in 2004 and is the largest canvas printing

website within the UK and Europe. 

Hello Canvas strive to provide high quality prints at a low price. 

The frames are 1.2 inches deep and the canvas is made from 

100% cotton. 

Hello Canvas print using the most advanced printing techniques that exist 

 and their  inks are UV resistant therefore never fade in the sun.

During the shipping process the canvas prints are wrapped with a protective foil 

and packed in a sturdy cardboard shipping box so that damage during

transport is reduced to a minimum. 

I chose to have one of our wedding photo's to be put on to canvas.

I chose this one not just because a lot of people have said its

such a canvas worthy photo, but also because

it shows off our rings and my wedding bouquet. 

The above photo of the canvas is a close up but

 I can honestly say the photo's I have taken

do not give the photo and canvas's quality any 

justice at all. 

The size I received was 20 x 28 inch which retails at £39 

you can see the sizes and price chart here.

I am very thrilled with how well the canvas has turned out

and certainly recommend them if you ever want to 

buy a high quality print at a reasonable price.
