Getting the conversation flowing amongst your guests is as easy as pie once the drinks are also flowing. You'll have spent forever and a day painstakingly planning where your guests will sit, knowing full well that no awkward silences will exist with certain tables packed full of friends who need no introductions.

It's likely that immediately after your ceremony, your photographer will whisk you away for photographs. If you are concerned that your guests may not naturally spark up conversation in your absence, you are right to spare a thought! Leaving your guests struggling to make small talk is a problem easily solved by providing a talking point for them.

Leading stag and hen travel expert, Red7, has searched far and wide to find Britain’s best Best Man – and today the seven national finalists have been revealed. 

Dubbed the ‘Magnificent Seven’, the crop of finalists comprises the competition’s regional winners from across Great Britain and sets a very high bar for all future Best Men. 

Each Best Man had to prove he had gone the extra mile, from overcoming the adversity of a sudden family death, to sourcing two giant Aldabra tortoises as guests of honour at his tortoise-loving mate’s nuptials, and even adding a touch of Hollywood with a personalised message from ‘Anchorman’ star, Paul Rudd. 

The colour purple can be hard to incorporate into any colour scheme without seeming too gothic or dark, so I wanted to bring you a few easy ways to include this gorgeous colour in your day, with a few inspirational images too.  

The colour purple symbolises nobility and luxury due to the fact that it's rarely found in nature. The perfect colour then, for an opulent and romantic wedding.  The key is fresh lavender in softer hues of purple, which you can use as a base colour, in your décor, or even as food or drink colouring.  Lavender season runs from around May until about late August, so ideal if you are planning purple for next summer!
