Make your Marquee Standout with Marquee Art

Wow! That's exactly what I said when I received some literature from MarqueeArt a company who have designed huge canvases that can be attached to marquee walls to make a marquee look totally different to how you would expect it to look.

These marquee canvas walls are available to buy or to hire and the company offers a bespoke service as well as a having 'off the shelf' designs.

The standard panels measure 1.5m wide by 2.2m high though they can be made to whatever dimension you require.

The company suggests you go with them in blocks of 3 and the prices start from £150 per panel to hire a stock panel £350 per panel to buy.

Will the Royal Wedding hail an increase in weddings?

The Office for National Statistics published figures in February 2010 which showed that the number of marriages taking place had fallen to its lowest in England and Wales since records began in 1862.

We for one are waiting with baited breath to see whether there has been a rise in weddings when the Office for National Statistics publishes further figures this year.

The wedding of HRH Prince William and Kate Middleton takes place on April 29th 2010 and maybe this has encouraged a few more romantic proposals this Christmas! Some are even describing 2010 as "The Year of the Wedding"!

We will just have to wait and see!

Financial Wedded Bliss

When a couple get married there are a number of factors they will explore together for the first time and one of those is money management.

Money and relationships can sometimes be a tricky course to navigate and really needs to be properly discussed before the big day to avoid any nasty surprises.

Remember as well that your work/career situations may not always be as they are now so think ahead and think about scenarios that could possibly arise in the future and how you might deal with those. These could include having children, starting a business or one partner losing their job.

So, with that in mind, we have found a fabulous website designed to help you. SavvyWoman.co.uk is the brainchild of Sarah Pennells.
