Shoes for the short ones

I’ve had this discussion recently with a colleague who is, just like me, very short. In particular when the groom is pretty tall, wanting to wear high-heeled shoes on your weddine seems to be quite a natural wish–you don’t want your pictures to show too much of a difference, for instance.

A few things to know: what might annoy your guests

The best party is the one where everyone has fun, that’s well-known. And although it is far from being an easy goal to achieve–can we ever make everybody happy?–here are a few things you might want to keep in mind for the experience to be enjoyed by both the newlyweds and their guests, without any…

Managing your guest list

This is probably not the first thing anyone would think about when planning their wedding, and may be more useful in the case of big weddings with a hundred of guests or more, but for having seen some things turn sour at the last minute because a certain little element had been forgotten, I know…
