Grab your bag and go to Restaurant Allure in Rotterdam, a very special restaurant in the city I grew up. Accordingly I often go here with my family to celebrate and to enjoy the heavenly food as well as everything around it. They have a true passion for cooking as well as for hospitality. My family therefore loves to spend Christmas eve at this restaurant and many other special nights as...
Obviously it depends where your honeymoon is taking you and your brand new husband… One of my best friends for example went to the Malediven, a true paradise with nothing but clear blue skies, cocktails and white sand. In this scenario I would highly recommend you to wear a beautiful bikini with a see-through dress and a big floppy hat. However, my hubby wanted to do something more adventurous...
The perfect mini-honeymoon! That is how this trip can be described the best! After we got married on Saturday we went to Zermatt Switzerland by car only three days later. Just a few days to celebrate our marriage and to reminisce all that happened on our big W-day. Zermatt is truly the perfect honeymoon destination. It offers traditional Swiss romance and incredible skiing and snowboarding. The constant view on...
When my boyfriend asked me to marry him, I was over the moon! Clearly for the obvious reason that I would be marrying the man of my dreams and we could throw a big party for all our friends and family. But also because I could start hunting for the most beautiful gown ever. So it didn’t take long before my personal orientation process for the perfect wedding dress...
Even though I'm not officially married yet, you must allow me to give you one advice. If you are happily engaged, please consider to organise a pre wedding dinner (or rehearsal dinner) for your closest family and friends. Normally such a dinner is held the night before the wedding (which would be tonight in our situation), but we decided to do our pre wedding dinner last Saturday so there would be enough time to recover and...
A horse-n-carriage getaway, a characteristic old-timer, two bikes, a retro style Volkswagen or by boat. Delightfully old-fashioned or fabulously vintage, beautiful classic and exaggerated or modest and relaxed. Do you want a driver or do you want your groom to drive the car? To make your vehicle even more special, some couples decorate it with balloons, flowers, calligraphic signs, handmade banners, garlands or cans. No matter how you decide to do it, you absolutely...
Grab your bag and go to Restaurant Camuri in Spain! To enjoy, live an never forget that moment. Last week my mother and I went to the south of Spain for only four days, to relax, to shop and to work on our glow for the wedding (only 16 days from now!). I am very close with my mom and I love her for spontaneity and positive mindset. She...
Traditionally it is the groom who is in charge of the flowers on the big day. He selects the type of flowers, the colours and the shape of the bouquet for his bride-to-be. And on the wedding day itself he waits for the bride with the bouquet in his hands, which flowers symbolise fertility and everlasting love (good thought to start this big day, right?!). However, as wedding bouquets can be seen...
One of the best parts of a wedding is the cake! It is often 'the icing on the reception' and it should be a reflection of the style of the wedding and taste of the newly weds as they have to cut their wedding cake in front of all your friends and family. Traditionally, wedding cakes were made to bring good luck to the bride and the groom as well as...
Some couples say Y A Y, others say N A Y when it comes to whether or not they appreciate guests wearing hats to their wedding. I can understand if the groom and bride-to-be rather don't want their guests wearing a hat on their big day. But from what you can expect from my style, I find hats super cheerful, festive, elegant and chic. One person who further enhanced my love for...
