Few wedding venues are as impressive as English Wedding Directory member The Bodleian Libraries. One of the oldest libraries in Europe, in the romantic and historic city of Oxford – it’s a bookworm’s dream wedding venue. I would LOVE to be married here – and if you haven’t booked your wedding venue I have a great opportunity to share with you today!
What will your statement be at your wedding… perhaps a stunning bouquet, or fabulous centrepieces? How about a gorgeous wedding cake?
These ideas are by Rosalind Miller Cakes, a top London wedding cake designer and supplier to Harrods and Fortnum and Mason.
Wedding cakes are individually handmade by Rosalind and her daughter Yasmine in their London studio where new designs are created for each season – each more beautiful than the last.
It’s every bride and groom’s worst nightmare – a last minute crisis when a supplier you’ve had your heart set on suddenly can’t be there for your wedding.
As a supplier myself, I totally get it. I also know those last few weeks before your wedding are busy, stressful and the LAST thing you need is to be let down by one of your suppliers.
All is not lost.
There are things you can do, and ways of handling the situation:

There’s something about an elopement – the romance of it all just gets me, every time! Nick and Kristina’s love just shines from the photos of their special day. There’s no nerves, none of the formality or embarrassment that being in front of a big crowd of people can sometimes bring. These two lovely people are joyful, blissfully happy from the moment we first see them – and yes, it makes me want to elope, right now, to Gretna Green!
I got married nearly nine years ago and I absolutely loved planning my wedding day. We carefully wove our love story into the details and special touches. We had recently moved from London to Bath and wanted all our city slicker friends to kick back and relax at our country house wedding. We were married in the church my family have always attended and headed to a country house to host our reception.
It’s all over so fast…
It was idyllic but as we drove away to our Italian honeymoon I had one regret. It wasn’t the menu, my dress or the flowers. It was that it didn’t last long enough.
