Why you should consider going all organic for your first slice as a married couple

There’s no doubt that the wedding cake is one of the most important aspects of the day – the style, flavour, and how many tiers all considered. But have you ever thought about the ingredients that make up your cake?

Celeste from The Organic Wedding Cake Company has created a whole business off the back of her love for organic produce and the demand for organic cakes. She’s been buying organic for over 15 years but has been baking cakes for a lot longer and so it was only natural to bring the two together as a business.

Money is key for women entering later life marriages

With recent official figures1 showing that the number of older women marrying or remarrying has increased in recent years, new research suggests that for many the decision to tie the knot is as much about money as love alone.

 

According to a new study by Investec Wealth & Investment2, almost half (48%) of divorced and widowed women aged over 55 said that their financial wellbeing would influence or has influenced their decision to remarry rather than have a common-law relationship.

 

Of these, almost a quarter (23%) rated their financial wellbeing as a significant factor and one in ten (9%) the primary factor in deciding to remarry, rising to 15% among divorced women.

Wedding Photography: What not to do?

Blue fitter

You've been asked to photograph a wedding, or maybe you haven't maybe you're just hoping to sneak in some images to add to your portfolio. There's a lot of do's and don'ts when it comes to wedding photography.

DON'T be an “Uncle Bob”

If you're not the official photographer, it's probably still okay for you to take a few shots or practice your wedding photography but what you don't want to do is get in the way of the official photographer. 

The couple has paid someone to get great images, and you're either getting in their way, or your flash is ruining their images. Be respectful, ask them if you're in the way, and let them do their job FIRST even if it's just your iPhone.

The Secrets Behind Wedding Photo Editing

Hazing

Wedding photo editing has a certain feel to it. Not everyone gets it right, and not everyone even knows what they're supposed to do. Many brides have a certain look they want for their images, and it can be very specific. Here are a few tips that should make your wedding photo editing pop:

Good Photos First

It's all about the photo. It doesn't matter if your wedding photo editing is on point if the photo is terrible. Weddings are often a "one shot" event and if you don't get it right then and there editing won't salvage it, and there's no "do over". It's hardly a secret but it's definitely a must know before shooting any wedding that your work is up to the challenge.
