When an occasion like wedding calls for something interesting and unique, you have the perfect option of personalised sparkler tags to give an unforgettable touch to the event. The trend of using sparklers is catching up quite fast; primarily because of the fun effect they bring and are liked by guests of all ages.

If you’re looking to get married in and around Leicestershire you’re going to be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a venue. One of the first things you will want to choose when you’re planning your special day will be your wedding venue. This is so that you can book all the other elements of the wedding – flowers, seating, entertainment etc – and give them a date and address for your big day. Seeing the venue beforehand should also influence your ideas for themes and design.

It is advisable that you go to see a few venues before you make your decision. The reason it’s best to see a few rather than go with the first one you see, is so that you have time to consider what will be a large (if not your largest) expense and get an idea of the kind of setting that works best with the ideas you have.

Here are some amazing wedding venues in Leicestershire:

The Ladywood Estate

The Ladywood Estate is most definitely a luxury venue and is perfect for those looking to get married in the most exquisite surroundings. The venue have both indoor and outdoor areas where you can have your ceremony and reception, and they also offer in-house photography, florists and wedding planning.

Both internally and externally the hall has an individual style that will provide you with plenty of talking points and photo opportunities on your wedding day.

The venue doesn’t have landscaped gardens or a licensed bar so bear that in mind if you need a wedding and reception venue in one.

These are just some of the venues available in Leicestershire. Although it can be difficult choosing a wedding venue, the best thing about choosing this area of the Midlands to get married is that there is such a huge selection of venues to choose from.

Try to keep an open mind and use your imagination to dress the venue exactly how you hope it will look. If you have particular ideas about designs or themes, talk to the venue about them before you book in case they have any restrictions. Remember it is a huge step to book your venue so take your time, follow your heart and enjoy it!

The tricky thing about wedding planning is that those involved won’t necessarily have much experience behind them. Bride and groom, one would hope, are entirely new to the wedding game, and so are treading blindly to some extent. This can foster a lack of confidence, and blow small matters like choosing and designing wedding invitation cards out of all proportion. Be calm. Wedding invitations are not difficult to design. These days it’s easier than ever, and there are plenty of services online that’ll help you through each step of the design and printing of wedding invitations.

You’ll usually find that online wedding stationary companies offer a wide range of possible wedding card designs. Think carefully about what you want your wedding invitation to say, not in terms of words but in terms of its design. Will you choose a generic wedding-associated image for your invitations, or what about a simple color scheme? Which design reflects the personalities of you and your partner, pink and white wedding invitations perhaps?

Think of the wording that you’re going to choose too. Will you furnish the cards with a little message, will this message be poetic, sentimental, humorous? Again, the right choice depends on the nature of your relationship, the invited guests, and your personality.

As a rule of thumb, less is more is typically best for wedding invitations. Make sure that the important information is included, but don’t overcrowd the invitation with detail – choosing a good design is the most important thing.
