It Must Be Love, Love, Love

Published on Thursday 30th April 2009

I’m going to be totally frank. I find weddings a bit of a nightmare. Yes, yes, I know I always have a wonderfully champagney and fun time when I'm there, but the planning is a nightmare. What to wear, How am I going to get there, Will someone else be wearing my dress, Where am I going to stay.... and the worst: What the hell shall I get them for a wedding present?!

I'm one of those people who hates to be predictable and buy 'from the list'. Judge me if you want and call me a pain but I just don't like being told what to buy for someone. I don't think 4 soft white hand towels really says, 'I've put a lot of personal thought into this'.

So when I found out about Jan Constantine’s fabulous cushions, I thought all my prayers had been answers. She’s the creator of those gorgeous embroidered ‘Love’ cushions in tasteful and colourful designs.

I think it’s such a fabulous gift and a great reminder what the day is all about.

Now I just need to find an outfit…
