It’s certainly easy to get swept away with all of the feminine, bridal details, while forgetting to add any special masculine touches to your wedding.

For example, the Peony that everyone goes mad for is in season from mid-May to early
Recently the wedding industry has come under criticism for excessively charging for services. One feature in an established national magazine offers ‘pearls of wisdom plucked from a bride’s headpiece’ including: “Don’t tell caterers or venue people supplying for a wedding that it is a wedding. They will slap on a premium and you will be paying back the debt for the rest of your life…” Ouch, that hurt.
