Bespoke Wedding Ring
Hi, I've agreed a price with my jeweller in Hatton Garden. Only thing is, he's asked us to pay in cash rather than card, as this way he can provide a little more discount for us. I found them at the National Wedding Show in London last year, which makes me think that they are legit. I've been to their offices to discuss…

Wedding packages have changed for the better after we've signed the contract!
This may seem abit bizarre, as most contracts tie you in to stop any price increases, but our venue has changed the way they structure their pricing and now offer packages as oppose to venue hire, food, drink etc.. So in this case, I signed a contract last September for a price for venue hire, a drinks and wedding…

Sample sale, what to expect?
My sisters convinced me to go to a dress sample sale. I know what dresses I like but they are all either over budget or not available for me to try on in my search radius.
