Weddings held in late spring and early summer time are likely to conjure up images of beautiful, floral arrangements on warm, sunny afternoons while the happy couple tie the knot surrounded by friends and family in the British countryside.

Living the high-flying, designer lifestyle almost always comes with a price to match. If you want the big name shoes, that diamond bracelet, the flash car, the most expensive sofa; you do have to pay the premium for it, and that is often present in the number of zeros at the end of the price tag - but that doesn't have to be true when you shop with Little Cherry.
For many people, doing their bit for the Earth when it comes to recycling, choosing eco-friendly products and going green isn’t always a theme that suits a wedding day.

Hen party, bachelorette party, bridesmaid luncheon or hens do; whatever you call this traditional event, it’s a part and parcel of modern day wedding celebrations. Hailing from the good old days of getting together with your girlfriends for tea and having a good old gossip, these days, hen parties are more commonly held in the run up to a wedding, in celebration of the bride to be.
The wedding speeches are one of the most daunting parts of a wedding day; it seems like the pressure to deliver a heartfelt, funny and memorable speech gets to everyone today.
