A breath of fresh air – how and why brides should boost their oxygen levels

Beds beach compressed

All brides would want to feel in tip-top shape on the big day, so keeping illness at bay in the weeks running up to the wedding is essential. Oxygen is one of the big factors in staying healthy and feeling well. However, with today’s increased pollution levels, caused through car exhausts, industrial plants and power station emissions, interfering with the amount of oxygen the body absorbs, the concentration of oxygen in the air we breathe is falling. Exact levels vary depending on where in the world you live, but this change in the air we breathe does not spell good news for our wellbeing. When the wedding day is approaching, bearing your oxygen levels in mind is essential.

Is booking a DJ actually easier than booking a band?

Wedding DJ

Our wedding days are planned to perfection, nothing is left to chance from the speeches to the first dance. Unfortunately, while we don’t have much control over speeches and the embarrassing stories that come with them, we do have control over the first dance. The song choice, and whether that song is sung by a live band or a DJ playing the original song, is a tough choice for many. Traditionally, live bands have always been the first choice for wedding music, however recently , there seems to have been a shift as more couples turn to DJs. s In the age of convenience, perhaps this shift is a result of people believing that it is easier to book DJs over bands, however quite the opposite is true.
