Even if your hearts are breaking because you can’t invite everyone you’d love to have at your wedding. Even if you’ve had to postpone and reschedule and finally ‘settle for’ a smaller wedding than you’d dreamed of. Even if your spring wedding is limited to just a handful of the guests you’d love to invite… if you’ve planned a very different, much smaller wedding this spring there are some wonderful moments you can look forward to and cherish forever.

You want everything about your wedding to be perfect, spectacular, and wonderful. And this most definitely includes the wedding rings. Especially when you consider that you will be wearing this ring every day, from your wedding day onwards.
The choices for men’s wedding bands has increased massively over recent years. This is of course brilliant news, but for some men, the incredible choices can feel a little overwhelming.
Not only are there different styles and colours to choose from, there is also an array of metals. Gone are the days when it was a choice between silver and gold.

Have you received an invitation to a Jewish wedding? If so, it’s likely you have questions and would like to know more about what to expect.
We invited a specialist Jewish wedding planner, and English Wedding Blog member, lovely Michelle Jacobs of Elegante by Michelle J to take us through the key elements of a typical Jewish wedding. All of the beautiful images we’ve included are by Italian Luxury wedding photographer David Bastianoni.
1. Day of Week
Jewish weddings most commonly take place on Sundays. Never on a Saturday and rarely on a Friday as the Jewish Sabbath (when weddings are not permitted) runs from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.
If you don’t do etiquette in your daily life, there’s really no need to suddenly start doing it in your wedding invitations. Unless you’re the Queen. Have you ever “requested the pleasure of the company of” any of your friends before? No! Because they’d look at you all weird. Now isn’t the time to start… there’s a billion better ways to word your wedding invites!
Gracefully asking your guests to join you on your wedding day is the goal. Your invitations should make your guests smile (not yawn; not skim read to the best bits) and have them looking forward to your big day. Beautiful design goes a long way – and throwing in some personal touches makes any wedding invite unique and special.
