While couples say I Do throughout the year, the long summer months of June, July, August and September – with their drawn-out evenings and warmer temperatures – tend to be a more favourable time of year for many. Largely due, in part, to the unpredictability of the Great British weather perhaps.
From the invitation-receiving to the outfit planning, travel arrangements and hotel booking, deciding what to gift the happy couple to symbolise their life together can sometimes end up being a bit of an afterthought. Should you get them something personalised and romantic, or practical and convenient? These days, many couples live together before the big day approaches, so the usual household appliances have already been bought. It is the homely, thoughtful touches then, that will make for a welcoming and appreciative wedding gift.
