East London is home to an abundance of exquisite haunts for any couple looking for their dream wedding venue, but none are quite so picturesque as Canary Riverside Plaza, Canary Wharf’s highest rated independent five-star hotel.
Blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan has launched a new range of wedding favours to help make your special day even more meaningful.
The brand new collection includes badges, pins, unity bands and mini plant pots with wildflower seeds – the perfect size to fit into a clutch bag or suit pocket, and a thoughtful touch that your guests can keep long after the party’s over.
With prices starting from £1.99 for a set of five pin badges, to £4.99 for a flower-growing gift set, there’s something for every budget.
Couples are now spending more than ever on their big day
New research from short-term lender Ferratum has found that couples in England and Wales will spend an incredible £6.8 billion on weddings in 2017 alone. With the summer wedding season fast approaching, Ferratum predicts that weddings from July-September alone will cost a £3.3 billion in total this year.
Many couples cannot afford these high budgets, however. Ferratum’s research also reveals that 1 in 4 couples are borrowing to fund their big day, with an incredible £958 million due to be borrowed this year in order to meet their dream wedding costs.
