WIN YOUR WEDDING competition entry closes tomorrow






















Entry to Win Your Wedding closes tomorrow leaving just over 24hrs to enter. We've had lots of entries and have decided just to pick one winner at random. It gets over complicated to pick three and then try to get them all together to chose an envelope. Names will go into a box and one picked out who we will email with the news that they have won! If for some reason, they decide not to take the prize or haven't claimed it within the specified time, we will draw again and carry on until there is a couple who take it.

PLEASE read the terms and conditions again as they have changed and let us know if you no longer wish to be entered.

I found a gem

Every now and then, I come across a venue that is perfect. From the moment I step on to the property, I just know it's one of those extra special places.

Early in December, I had an appointment to meet with an Innkeeper and look at her Inn. I was tired having had two full days of meetings in Toronto (starting an hour after I landed), it was raining, no, more heavy drizzle and grey. There was no sign of snow which brightens and lightens the landscape, it was just dreay, wet and grey. The journey was easily 3 hours in good weather and I knew I could add at least half an hour for the weather. So I was grumpy - very grumpy!! I think we'd taken a wrong turning at least 3 times and I was almost ready to phone my apology, turn round and go back to Collingwood. Suddenly the Inn sign was there and we turned into the estate ... and I knew, just knew that the journey had been worth it. My mood lifted and then as we turned a corner at the end of the Inn, I was met with the most amazing scenery - it really took my breath away. A lake, woodland, a beautiful old Canadian manor house and a mist across the water - the perfect setting for a wedding in any season. I'd choose sunset with snow but that's just me!

For the Groom

With all the fuss and to-do over finding THE dress and thinking about what the Bridesmaids will (and won't wear), the Groom sometimes doesn't get a look in. Just a smart suit and a tie to go with colour scheme. Looking through the J Crew site this morning, I found some fab ideas to help the Groom stand out from the crowd.

Suits, smart casual tweed casual (which look really good with a bow tie) or a waistcoat & matching pants with rolled up sleeves - perfect for a garden or beach wedding.








And if you're looking for ties or socks ..... 
There's silk, tweed, flannel, cotton or chambray in a traditional shape

 or there's 
The Hill-side® chambray tie that comes in plum violet, indigo or black
or yet, a bow tie maybe, in tartan, flannel or silk


and socks in dots, stripes and clashing colours

If these don't take her fancy, maybe try the James Bond look!



and if all of this leaves you feeling WOW ... what the heck do I do,
