Don't Tell The Bride

This is a very popular show on BBC3 and last night I watched the follow up programme where the makers interviewed the Bride whose husband to be had organised their big day without any help, input or ideas from the Bride.

You can imagine the stress the brides went through, can you imagine leaving all the planning of your wedding to your fiance?

Well these brave or some would say foolish girls just did that.

What was interesting was that these 'Brides to Be' were all self confessed 'control freaks' and had been planning their wedding in their head since they were little girls I suppose they had to be to make interesting telly for us voyeurs.

The majority of the grooms did a good job but indulged in some very boozy days and nights leading up to the big day!

As a wedding professional myself with more than 15 years experience I always tell my brides to take a deep breath and enjoy the day because it goes in a flash. many girls get hung up on the details and forget to enjoy themselves.

Watching this programme I felt somewhat vindicated with this advice because without exception all the girls said that they stressed about the details way too much and it was about the commitment to each other that counted. On reflection all the couples had a brilliant day and agreed that it had helped their relationship.

Welcome!

Hello and WELCOME to my Blog.

My name is Jacqui Saxon and I own The Ultimate Balloon Company which is based in Rotherham South Yorkshire.

We undertake weddings, parties and corporate events all over the UK but primarily in South Yorkshire, Rotherham, Sheffield, Barnsley and Doncaster.

With this blog I would like to try and show people how beautiful and tasteful balloon décor can be when done professionally.

I am very proud to be one of only a handful of people who hold the prestigious Certificate in Balloon Artistry (CBA) which is our industries highest award, and your guarantee of quality and design.

But that’s enough about me if you want to read more have a look at this http://www.theultimateballoon.co.uk/page.aspx?id=162

I want to share with your some of my hints and tips about organising events, either weddings, parties or corporate I have learnt over the last 16 years, and I will try and post at least one useful tip per blog and keep you up to date with what we are doing in the world of balloons and entertainment.

Our weddings really got under way over the Easter Weekend and this picture is one of my favourites. It shows how different elements can work perfectly together to create a stunning wedding. Chair covers, feather fantasies, balloons and lights all combine to create a wonderful atmosphere.

Top Tip:

If you haven't decided on your colour scheme go back to the venue and look at the colour of the carpet, wall coverings, chairs and then choose a complimentary colour. This will look so much better than choosing a colour that clashes with the wallpaper. You can easily change the colour of the chairs with chair covers. We have a range of both cotton and lycra http://www.theultimateballoon.co.uk/page.aspx?id=198
