Discount Directory

We are pleased to announce that Mrs2Be has recently launched a discount directory. The aim of this directory is both to enable our brides to save money on their wedding costs and to help our suppliers during these uncertain times.

So how does it work? Quite simply suppliers can add discounts and special offers to their free advert as well as a discount code that registered members will have access to and can quote when booking services. Suppliers can enter the directory at any time to make changes to special offers!

The Mrs2Be discount scheme is available to all registered members and is free to join for both our brides to be and our advertisers.

2010 Wedding Flowers

As every girl knows, wedding flowers are a big part of the big day. From statement bouquets to simple yet striking arrangements, wedding flowers should bring the theme together and create a talking point amongst your guests.

So what are the latest 2010 flower trends? Flowers this year are said to be of the more creative variety rather than traditional and neat. Bright colours will be popular rather than soft traditional arrangements and bouquets tied with ribbon and adorned with embellishments such as pearls, jewels and even natural materials such as pine cones will make an appearance.

Centrepieces will also be bold and striking with additions such as fruits and ice which are certain to draw the attention of the guests. Flowers are said to be an important item that reflect the true personality of the bride. For more inspiration, browse our colour scheme pages here

Lunch Box Diet Tip 2 & 3

We recently told you that we had found a fab new way to drop those winter pounds. The lunch box diet by Simon Lovell has been declared one of the best and simplest diets around. Visit http://www.lunchboxdiet.co.uk/ and see for yourself. In the meantime here are two more of Simon's tips on how to increase your metabolic rate.

Eat plenty of veg ....

The antitoxidants provided in these low calorie powerhouses help our cells run as efficiently as possible thereby increasing digestion AND metabolism

Get a sweat on!....

Activity such as exercise, dancing or even cleaning vigorously increases metabolism. So as a rule of thumb, work yourself into a sweat at least once a day. the point is that activity increases metabolism and the longer you sustain the activity, the better the increase.

Straps are Back!

Once again,we have been out and about on a quest for the latest news from the world of wedding fashion! We have discovered that for 2010 weddings, straps are back and in keeping with the fashion world in general so too are ruffles, expect to see them making an appearance everywhere in beautiful in soft fabrics.

Straps of course are great for those of us who need a little more support in a dress and as a compromise for those of us who prefer strapless, is the 'one shoulder look'. For bridesmaids this year, look out for amazing evening style dresses in bright colours.

We love these Alfred Angelo 6493 gowns pictured (bridal gown 2063, bridesmaid dress 6493). For more inspiration, watch this space or check out our wedding dress directory here.

Lunch Box diet Tip 1

With spring fast approaching yet the winter nights making it seem impossible to avoid those roast dinners or that late night hot chocolate in bed, we decided that it was about time we offered you some practical and doable advice!

Thanks to Simon Lovell and his lunch box diet, we are now clued up about how to increase our metabolic rates, so now all we have to do is make a start..! Here is the first of the tips that Simon shared with us, visit http://www.lunchboxdiet.co.uk/ for more information and to sign up for the diet.

Eat Less, More Frequently!

This method of eating known as grazing increases metabolism because we are providing out body with energy often which promotes a faster burn. Conversely, if we starve ourselves, our metabolism is lowered because our body senses that energy is not coming often enough and goes into the survival mode of storing whatever it does get.

Watch this space for more of Simon's hints and tips over the coming weeks.

We have just added some fab new favor boxes to our online shop! What's great about these favors is not just the way they look but the fact that they will make a difference not just to your guests but to the lives of many others.

Spring into Action

With spring fast approaching, we thought that those of you making last minute arrangements for a spring wedding or those of you planning ahead for 2011 would appreciate some tips on the perfect spring wedding.

If you've not set the date yet, it's worth knowing that spring weddings are generally cheaper as this tends to be a quieter time of year for weddings. Another plus is that over recent years, the weather which is usually pretty changable in this season has been warmer and more predictable, making spring a better option all round!
