Alternative Wedding Entertainment






A reader requested a post about alternative entertainment for their Wedding. They are getting married  in Ireland and their afters is being held in a restaurant setting. They are searching for something other than a DJ and also some entertainment for outside before dinner. This a new area for me, so I researched it and selected some alternative options, that I thought might be of interest. I have also dotted images in the post that may look crazy but could be fun. It may help get the creative juices going. Images are from pinterest unless otherwise tagged.

Please Let know if this was helpful and also what your tips would be to help our Bride To Be? You can also follow my blog on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter , Pinterest and my Snapchat user is maryroche2.When I reach 500 likes on my Facebook page, I will be running a competition there. So come and say hi.

Love & Sparkle

Now more than ever brides and grooms are doing more of what they want when it comes to their wedding day. The traditional sense of what we assume a wedding to be is fast changing. This goes from the wedding dress right up to the venue and entertainment. Not everyone wants a church, the standard function room in a hotel or a band.

A fun game to play before dinner


My tips for selecting your entertainment:

Brainstorm ideas, use post-its, write down or draw whatever comes into your head. No matter how big or silly, then go back over them and take out what you do not want. Use a heading like, "Our wedding entertainment looks like this"

Create a board of images use pinterest for inspiration. Pin up your top images at home. Then place a mark or coloured sticker on what you like the idea off.

Take names of companies and entainers that you like from weddings you have attend or wedding fairs.

Go and see different types of entertainment live so you get a sense of what they are like.

Always ask if the group you like comes in a smaller size. More often than not they do, i.e. a 6 piece will break down to a 3 for smaller settings.

And enjoy it all.

These venues and activities will ease the stress of planning so enjoy the read. Organising a hen party can be a very difficult and tiring task. If you have been tasked as the hen party organiser you probably have a sense of the pressure already.

The venue and activities that you choose will help take that stress away so ensure that you choose well. Also bear in mind that the Bride needs to feel special and relaxed.

Kiehl's Apothecary Preparations Review

Image from Kiehl's website Hello all, this post is dedicated to Kiehl's Apothecary Preparations. What is that I hear you ask? Apothecary preparations is a high level of Personalized skincare. It addresses the following skincare concerns: WRINKLE REDUCTION TEXTURE REFINING VISIBLE REDNESS NEUTRALIZING PORE MINIMIZING BRIGHTENING I find the older I get (mid-thirties ouch) the more focused I am on my skin, I have invested in my skincare more than I used to, by adding in some high-end products. I believe in paying for a good serum. Although this product was kindly sent to me to try out, all views expressed are my own. In terms of using Kiehl's, this is my first time to use the brand and I was really intrigued to see what it was like on the skin.

This range takes the brand back to its roots of creating persona...
