Engagement Announcement Ideas

Bride Society Leave a comment

Fun ways to announce your engagement to family, friends and the rest of the world!

***

First up, CONGRATULATIONS!  I’m going to go ahead and make the bold assumption that if you’re reading this blog then you recently got engaged.  We hope you’re enjoying that trip to Cloud 9 and wish you a wonderful time during your wedding planning process – and we’re here for you EVERY step of the way…seriously, there’s nothing we haven’t covered on our YouTube channel.

Today we’re all about how to announce that engagement to your family, friends & the rest of the world!  There are of course the tried & tested methods of:

  1. picking up the phone – radical!
  2. visiting in person and flashing the bling
  3. newspaper announcement – OLD SCHOOL (though we’re thinking these days your target audience may not actually ever find out about your engagement using this method).

…but if you’re after a bit of pizzazz (definitely had to look up how to spell that just now!) for your announcement, then our latest video is filled with ideas on how to share the excitement.

Have fun and welcome to the Society!  Once you’re ready to make a start on the planning, you can find all our content here, with new videos every Friday at 4pm GMT.  You can also find us over on Instagram for even more content, and be sure to follow us on Pinterest so you can start pinning our ideas to that all important Wedding pin board!

What to Ask Your Bridal Hairstylist & Make Up Artist

Ask the Pros – Q&A with Make-Up by EmaR

***

Happy New Year! We’re back feeling energised and refreshed after our mini-break, ready to see what this year has in store. We thought we’d kick off 2023 with some help!

We asked over on our Instagram page recently what questions you would ask a wedding hair & make up artist, and while we like to think we would have been able to give all the answers, we thought you’d probably prefer to hear from a professional. Emma from Make-Up by Emar has been working in the wedding industry for over a decade and kindly agreed to share her knowledge and advice while answering your questions. Go give her a follow over on Facebook and Instagram.

From “Should I wash my hair on my wedding day?” to “Which styles work best with a veil?” we’ve got the answers to help you feel confident about booking your wedding hairstylist and choosing that perfect wedding look.

Thanks again to Emma from Make-Up by Emar for collaborating with us on this video and if you’d like to see more wedding hair content, you can watch our 2023 Bridal Trends video where Emma talked us through the trends for wedding hair styling for the upcoming year!

And thank you for sending in your questions over on Instagram. If you missed it this time, go give us a follow there to be involved in our Ask the Pro – Q&A videos in the future.

Our Annual Christmas Message | 2022

***

And just like that it’s the end of another year! It’s obviously a super cliché statement, but it really does feel like the year has gone by in a flash and December especially has disappeared in the blink of an eye! If you’ve managed to do some festive baking, you’re doing better than me. A Christmas Eve baking session may be in order.

Certainly from my (Laura’s) point of view, 2022 was the year my final covid postponed wedding cake bookings were able to take place (hooray!). A huge congratulations to you if you married in 2022, whether it was a postponed wedding or not. And if you’ve got a 2023 wedding planned, not long to go now!

As always, we’d like to say a huge thank you for supporting our channel. We really appreciate the time spent watching our videos, commenting, liking, and subscribing to our channel and we hope you’ve enjoyed the content we’ve created this year. We’ve enjoyed creating it, and we haven’t done it alone. A big thanks to both Steph from the Secret Bridesmaid and Emma from Make-Up by Emar for collaborating with us this year. (And you’ll see more content with them in early 2023.)

If you’ve got any video requests or thoughts about what content you’d like to see from us in 2023 let us know in the comments!

That just leaves us to wish you a very Merry Christmas and an even happier New Year. If you’re getting married in 2023, it’s almost your wedding year!

We’ll be back on Friday 6th January at 4pm GMT.

Christmas Tree Cake | Alternative Wedding Cake Inspiration

Bride Society Leave a comment

We’re well and truly in the Christmas spirit, the decorations are up, mulled wine is being drunk and so thought it was about time we did some Christmas baking. Whether this is something to impress your guests at Christmas or you’re looking for some alternative winter wedding inspiration, this edible DIY is sure to put a smile on your face (and anyone else who gets a piece!)

Introducing the Christmas tree cake! It can be decorated in so many ways to fit your theme and Christmas style, and could even double up as a fun wedding cake alternative idea if you’re having a Christmas wedding!
Move over tiered cakes, we’ve got a Christmas tree cake to cut.

The wonderful thing about this cake idea is that pretty much any type and flavour of cake would work! Use your favourite cake recipe and wow your friends and family with this festive treat.

For the video we’ve kept it simple with a vanilla sponge recipe and used the following quantities to fill two 29cmx20cm baking tins.

  • 16oz caster sugar
  • 16oz butter or margarine
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 16oz self raising flour

Mix the sugar and butter together until fully mixed, add the eggs and mix again until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract then fold in the flour using a spoon or spatula. Divide the mix equally into two baking tins which have been lined with baking paper.

Bake at 160oC for approximately 25-30 minutes

Draw a Christmas tree shape on a piece of paper/baking paper to act as your template. This can be any shape tree you fancy, or print a shape from clipart/Google images if you’re not confident to draw freehand.

Once the cakes are cool, cut around the template to create your tree shaped cakes.

Sandwich the cakes together with buttercream/frosting and decorate! This is where the fun really begins, whatever your Christmas style, go to town with those colours, embellishments and maybe even some (it’s Christmas so maybe a lot) of edible glitter!

We kept it classic and used white, red and green buttercream with different piping nozzles to create our Christmas tree. And then finished the decoration with gingerbread biscuits in various shapes and Christmas sprinkles from Baking Time Club.

We’d love to see your seasonal creations so don’t forget to tag us over on Instagram if you give this a go!

How to Make Christmas Crackers

Bride Society Leave a comment

Make your very own Christmas Cracker Favours!

***

Let’s be real, a Christmas table without pigs in blankets or Christmas crackers is basically just a regular Sunday roast!  Now we’ll leave you to sort the pigs in blankets (please do, it’s a must!), but we’re here to help you with the rest (aka the crackers).

If you’re getting married at this magical time of year, providing crackers on your reception tables is the ultimate festive touch.  Make them your favours, maybe even personalising the contents to each guest / group of guests, print off some jokes, pop in a party hat and you’ve got yourself a favour, festive table decor AND an ice breaker in one.  Heck, add the person’s name to it and you’ve also got a name card…4-in-1, doesn’t get better than that!

Tip: Either attach a simple gift tag to the ribbon at one end of the cracker when you’re tying it, or keep an eye out for our follow up tutorial on how to add your chosen personalisation using Cricut!  We’ll include the link here, and in the YouTube video description box as soon as it’s available. Now available here: https://youtu.be/-J6031HOSWw!

We’ve created a free cracker template for you to download and use (personal use only please) to make life super simple!  In fact, we’ve gone a step further and made two!  If you’re here armed only with a pair of scissors or craft knife, then our less complex template over on our ‘Wedding Downloads’ page is probably the one for you…go ahead, download, cut one out & use as a stencil for the rest, then pick up our video tutorial at the assembly stage (time stamps in video description box).  However, if you’re super nifty with a craft knife or have a Cricut, give this jazzier template a whirl:

Christmas Cracker Favour w:decal, 11″x6.3″
Christmas Cracker Favour Template 11″x6.3″ w:decalDownload

Our tutorial will talk you through every stage of how to create your perfect wintery Christmas Crackers using Cricut / Cricut Design Space, and how to assemble them to get you all the hostess-with-the-mostest points at your Christmas gathering!

Let us know how you get on!  We’re very excited to see these on your tables, whether it be your winter wedding or Christmas Day family gathering, tag us in your photos over on Instagram!

Wishing you a wonderful festive season,

— Rebecca & Laura at Bride Society.

Winter Wedding Cover Up Ideas

Bride Society Leave a comment

Additions to your bridal outfit to keep the chill off or to simply add a splash of sparkle

***

So you’re planning a winter wedding. You’re embracing the shorter days and chill that comes with the winter months, and going all out with the cosy candlelight potential, darker colour schemes and rich, sumptuous decor. A nip in the air (or even snow!) may mean you’re thinking about extra layers for your wedding outfit, to keep the style but lose the chill! Whether it’s for warmth, or simply to add some extra sparkle, this is where wedding cover ups come in.

From the sheerest of detachable sleeves to full on faux fur, and everything in between, there’s sure to be something that’s perfect to fit the style of your Big Day. Plus, you’re not committed to wearing a cover up all day, so just like that you’ve got two outfits for the price of one. Winner!

We last filmed a video like this back in 2017, (no we don’t know where the time’s gone either!) so we thought it was about time we had a look at what’s currently available. We’ve looked at jackets, capes, boleros, sleeves, toppers and more! Although the majority of our picks are from the High Street, don’t forget to check out Bridal retailers to see what options they may have as well.

Christmas Gift Guide 2022 | Fiancé(e) Edit

Bride Society Leave a comment

Christmas Gifting for your Other Half, Sorted.

***

Holidays are coming!  Anyone seen the Christmas Coca-Cola truck ad yet this year?  I actually haven’t, so I can’t be sure the holidays are actually coming, but I have sipped my first Eggnog Latte of the season, so I’m pretty confident.

Apologies to anyone who doesn’t like to hear about the C*****mas word until at least December 1st, and whilst I agree with you that decorations shouldn’t be put up until then, we wanted to get in there a tad early with our Fiancé(e) (/other half) Christmas Gift Guide this year to help with spreading the cost and just in case any of our picks drop into the Black Friday Sales, giving you plenty of time to shop at a relaxed(ish) pace.  We know you already have plenty else on your mind with wedding planning after all!

So whether you’ve already decided what you’re getting for your other half this Christmas and are simply looking for a couple of little stocking filler gift ideas or starting from scratch, in a panic feeling like inspiration will never come, we’ve got you!  From the little things to the big things, we’ve covered off most budget points and even created a little section of DIY gift ideas if you’re looking for super personal (and cost effective) presents!

Here’s to Christmas shopping made easy with your very own Christmas Helpers:

Bridal Hair Trends for 2023

Bride Society Leave a comment

Wedding Hair Trends for 2023 and beyond | Ft. Make-Up by Emar

***

We’ve looked at the general wedding trends for 2023, but when it comes to bridal hair we needed some extra help. So we were thrilled to sit down with Emma from Make-Up by Emar to talk about the trends for wedding hair styling for the upcoming year! Emma is an expert in wedding hair and make up and has been working in the wedding industry for over a decade, so we knew she’d have the inside scoop. Go give her a follow over on Facebook and Instagram.

She let us in on all the trends, from sleek, low buns to bridal ponytails and everything in between! She even kindly demonstrated a bridal ponytail on Rebecca’s hair.

So, if you’re looking for wedding hair ideas and the latest wedding hair trends to inspire your bridal look, this video is for you.

Thanks again to Emma from Make-Up by Emar for collaborating with us on this video and keep your eyes peeled for another video we filmed with Emma, where we asked her all your burning wedding hair questions!

What was your favourite style? Have we inspired you to choose one of these options for your Big Day? Join us on Instagram to let us know!

Wedding Photographer Alternatives

Bride Society Leave a comment

What to do when a Photographer is out of budget (or if you want extra photography ideas)!

***

The economy is tough right now.  No two ways about it and things aren’t set to get any rosier in the foreseeable.  You’ve done your wedding budget and got some quotes from suppliers, maybe you accidentally splattered your cuppa (/wine) all over your computer screen when those email quotes came in!  We’re not even suggesting the prices are unjustifiable, it’s just a lot, and so is everything else, we get it.

So, that’s the downer.  But this lovingly planned and long anticipated day only happens once and you’ll want to be able to hold on to the memories forever.  Even if you can’t get the fancy, all-singing-all-dancing photographer, all is not lost.  We’re here to pick you back up with a whole heap of alternative ideas from possible work arounds to still get an official photographer, to lots of low cost ways to get all the photo memories you could desire, plus tips to make sure no special moment is missed.

Featured product links:
