Blissful Vows - Online Wedding Advice Site

The site Blissful Vows gives brides-to-be a heads up on some of the issues faced in the run up to the big day. Check out their advice on wedding dresses, especially. Whether you are considering a classic, vintage, celtic, time-less, romantic or a modern look, this site is a great starting point. Added to that, one can find fashion advice and great honeymoon ideas.

Don't forget to check out a topic which most brides leave to the last minute: wedding favours. People underestimate how much just the right favour can dress up a table. Don't think that it is all about spending money: you shouldn't break the bank on these details - just find a favour which goes well with the overall theme and which shows attention to detail. In fact, some brides who prefer to save on this item will choose to write little personalised note cards to each guest, and place them on their plate. Remember: the guest is there to share your day and to celebrate your friendship more than anything else.

Romance is in the air...

Why not spend your honeymoon at a fabulous castle in the Loire Valley? Several Monte-Carlo Weddings couples choose to stay in France after their weddings - sometimes opting for a lovely TGV train ride north, to the Loire Valley. For those of you who have not yet visited this area: it is as lovely as people say. Fairy-tale castles and romantic lush, well-tended French gardens are a great backdrop for all of those honeymoon pictures. Why not check out the Chateau du Guerinet, near Blois? This family-run business is sure to please couples looking for a quiet getaway after the hustle-and-bustle of their Wedding in the South of France.

How about a honeymoon in the Caribbean, starting from Miami?

One of the big decisions during the wedding planning process is the choice of honeymoon venue. How many times have we heard couples ponder over where to go? It can especially be challenging when you have one of the partners more interested in a romantic, secluded beach-type setting, and the other partner is more into an adventurous honeymoon, with things to do and places to go.

If you are looking for what is called a "combination honeymoon", i.e. a honeymoon which will satisfy both the beach bum / book reader and the adventurous "I can't stand to do nothing all day" type, why not fly to Miami (the dollar is still at a pretty good rate for foreigners), and rent a luxury crewed yacht? Nothing can be more decadent and relaxing than to survey the turquoise waters from the deck of your own private boat. You can be as carefree or as involved as you like. For more information, check out our friends at the American Yacht Company, for sailing and motor yacht charter holidays setting off from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach or anywhere in Florida. Happy sailing!
