Christmas

Yummy!

Christmas is on its way, it's official. The red cups are now in Starbucks and that's my official marker in the run up to Christmas. Just over 6 weeks away, it is time to prepare. I have even baked my first batch of mince pies, as a test run ofcourse! I feel I need more practice, but my first attempt was quite tasty.

If you are having a Christmas wedding, there is still time to add those little touches to wedding that will make it full of the Festive spirit.

House of Fraser

Christmas decoration departments are a great place to start looking for those finishing touches. There are lots of lovely decorations around and lots which would easily fit into your wedding day. This one I found in House of Fraser is a bargin at £4 and is a really great statement piece. www.houseoffraser.co.uk This would look good on your guest book table as it is slightly larger than the average Christmas decoration. It would also be a great addition to a sweety table, nestled amongst vintage jars of sweet treats.



Paperchase Crackers



Fish charm and joke!



As cute and quirky favours, then take a look at these mini crackers from Paperchase. www.paperchase.co.uk/. They are really bright and are emblazoned with the message "I Love Xmas". Inside are silver plated charms and the usual cheesy joke. They would make great favours for your female guests, who would then have a trinket they can keep and treasure.



If you don't want the traditional Christmas fruit cake but want a festive cake, then this one from Marks and Spencers is perfect. http://www.marksandspencer.com/Marks-and-Spencer-Daisy-Four-Tier/dp/B002962SNA?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_38&nodeId=80083031&sr=1-38&qid=1320788992 It is available as a chocolate or plain sponge and is iced to look like a very appetising present.

Finally don't forget to relax in the build up to your big day. Treat yourself to this lovely set from Philosophy as an early Christmas present. http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Categories/Bath-body/Bath-shower/Here-Comes-the-Bride-gift-set_475-2000487-00641238/ Indulge yourself and enjoy a nice long bath.
