Le Meurice - Perfection in Paris

What better way to start your honeymoon than a visit to Le Meurice. Located in the heart of Paris, opposite the Tuileries Gardens, Le Meurice is the ultimate luxury hotel. Glamorous, elegant and chic, it’s been a favourite with travellers (particularly the English) since 1835. Our tip: hire a pair of hotel’s own bikes and take a ride round the Tuileries.

Wedding Stationery

Take a look at this beautiful personalised wedding stationery from Paperchain. The company offers a variety of of unique designs, which can be tailored to compliment your style and colour theme, or if you wish, something a little more bespoke.

Top five first dance floor-fillers

Many couples choose their first dance song based on something that’s special to them; a record that reminds them of when they first met, or a certain time and place. Others may go for a tune that’s a bit quirky and reflects their personalities, or something that fits in with their wedding theme. Whatever the decider, your first dance can be a great way of getting all your guests on the dance-floor. Here are my top five first dance floor-fillers. Enjoy!

1) Jackie Wilson – Higher and Higher



2) John Paul Young – Love is in The Air



3) Diana Ross – Love Hangover



4) The O’Jays – Love Train
