“On behalf of everyone who attended the wedding, I would like to thank Tigerlily so very much for providing the most perfect crèche service Jack and I could ever have hoped for. The staff were immaculately dressed, discrete and charming at every turn. Sam and Isaac, my two sons and all their friends had just the best time and at the end of the day I had to force them to leave Lucy and her wonderful team. Thanks Lucy”

“Tigerlily mobile crèche were recommended to me by a friend and my goodness they delivered. Our annual conference at The Gravetye Manor was the most successful we’ve ever held. Every single director and partner attended because childcare was available to those who needed it. Tigerlily’s themed crèche was so warmly received by the children who all want to come back next year. I’ve never seen so many happy faces – and I am not only talking about the children! We’ve already booked Tigerlily mobile crèche for next year’s event.”

Samantha Norton
Head of HR (London based solicitors.

“Tigerlily aren’t like other childcare companies we’d worked with. For a start they listened to everything we said, they even allocated an event planner (thanks Lucy) who helped us with absolutely everything from day 1 through to organising the clean up at the end. Tigerlily’s staff on the day were so friendly and well presented - our client was delighted and has insisted we use Tigerlily in future – which of course we will.”

Choosing Your Perfect Wedding Dress…

Comments Off

As soon as the engagement is official, start looking for your wedding dress. This will allow you to choose the right dress and get any alterations done if needed.

Try on as many dresses as need be and don’t ever feel pressured to buy one that you are not completely happy with. This is one area that you may go over budget with but you will be wearing this dress for the whole day and you want to feel as comfortable as possible.

Weddings do not have to cost an absolute fortune but it is worth setting a budget to keep spending a little under control. If you overspend on one thing, then reduce the cost on another. It’s as simple as that.

When choosing your dress, remember to try and take somebody that will be totally honest with you. Mums do tend to think you look gorgeous in every dress you try on. It’s just a mum thing!

Think about how your hair will be on the day to what sort of back the dress has. You don’t want to have lots of detail if you have long hair and plan to have it down on your special day. Likewise, if your hair is to be up, how low can the back of the dress be and will you need to re-think your underwear to avoid straps showing?

Once you have your dress, you can start deciding on bridesmaids, if you are having any and then shop for their dresses.

A Snowy Wedding Day…??

Comments Off

If you have decided to get married in the winter, then there is a chance you will get the magical white wedding. By this I mean snow!

So, you’ve woken up, looked outside and there is a blanket of snow on the ground! What do you do?

Don’t panic!

Some people dream of having snow falling on their wedding day but even if it is a dream, there are some precautions you need to think about.

Firstly, you do not want to be slipping over! Rough up the underneath of your wedding shoes so they grip better whilst walking or consider wearing some welly boots while outside. There are many lovely designs to choose from.
Ring your wedding car hire and ask them to arrive at your home a little earlier than planned to ensure that you can get to the venue on time.
Ask someone to check the traffic that is the route to your venue. This will help with arriving on time or changing the route.
Make sure that your venue has its heating turned on and is good working order. A cold venue for your guests to wait in is not good.
Ring ahead to the venue to make sure that the entrance that you will be walking up is clear of any snow or ice. Do not forget to ask them to put appropriate amounts of grit down in various areas so your guests are safe too.
Make sure that guests are not standing in the cold for too long. Ask the venue if guests can go into the function room while photos are being taken outside.
Choose an usher to collect the required people for photos at the appropriate times so they are not waiting around in the cold.
Think about ordering yourself and your bridesmaids a wedding shawl or wrap to keep warm.

News From Wedding Post Boxes of Distinction..

Comments Off

Written By Kevin…

“I have just started designing a new post box to add to our range.

It’s a square version of our standard Victorian style wedding post box which is six sided.

So it will look very similar but it will obviously have two less sides!

It will be around the same height but narrower and lighter. Oh, and a little less expensive.”
