Turquoise is the 2010 colour for bridesmaid dresses

  • December 12, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Turquoise could be the colour of 2010 ‘for bridesmaid dresses’
Choosing the perfect wedding dress is something that many brides will do first in their wedding planning. Selecting gowns for their bridesmaids  will probably be next on their list and thinking about colours and styles will be a big decision.

One colour scheme which  brides to be could choose  is turquoise, as Pantone has named it as its colour of 2010.

According Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the institute, Pantone 15-5519 Turquoise has been selected because it is considered to be “a protective talisman, a colour of deep compassion and healing and a colour of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky”.

Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.
“In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.”

So, if you decide to choose this beautiful colour for your bridesmaids dresses, then you will no doubt be looking for lovely bridesmaids jewellery to match. Girls Love Pearls have a fabulous collection to choose from. Pearls which have been tinted to match your dresses, or for pearls which have been mingled with beautiful turquoise gemstones see their gemstone jewellery collection.

Uma Thurman calls off her wedding plans

  • December 11, 2009 at 6:26 pm

It has been revealed that Uma Thurman has cancelled her wedding plans to billionnaire Arpad Busson, even though they have been engaged for more than a year.

A source close to the Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill star said that despite the breakup, the pair remain friends – although Uma will return her engagement ring.”She will probably give it back. She wants to return everything that is his,” the insider added.

Back in September, the actress claimed that although she was “happily engaged” to Busson, they had not set a date and were waiting until they were both ready to start wedding planning – although rumoured by the tabloid Daily Mail newspaper, that they had been planning a fairy tale wedding at Kensington Palace, former home to the late Princess Diana. A source told the tabloid paper, “Uma wants to get married like a princess. She already has an eight-carat diamond ring and now she is planning to get married in a palace. They want to have it entirely to themselves, so as well as the 11,000 pounds ceremony and venue hire fee, they have hired the rest of the palace to ensure it’s completely private.”

Lamborghini Wedding Car Crash

  • December 11, 2009 at 4:08 pm

A £250,000 Lamborghini to take 33-year-old David Gallucci to the church on his wedding day was the surprise organised by his soon to be wife, Ms Abi Pattison-Hart, who’d paid £8,000 to hire the exclusive super car. As the groom and the best man made the short journey to the church, the supercar skidded on a roundabout.  The groom reportedly lost control, causing the car to end up on a grass verge, to flip over and smash into a fence.

Although both passengers emerged from the wreckage unharmed, the wedding car had a reported £160,000 worth of damage and the yellow Lamborghini Murcielago model has had to be written off.

Luckily the incident didn’t ruin the newlywed’s day, and the bride seemed to take the whole situation in her stride saying, “I had to see the funny side.”

Royal Wedding Planner

  • December 10, 2009 at 5:19 pm


Prince William and his long time girlfriend, Kate Middleton, have hired a wedding planner. The couple have reportedly asked Ms Sarah Sienesi, a “wedding and event consultant” to undertake the planning for the wedding. Ms Sienesi has apparently been appointed as a lady-in-waiting to the Countess of Wessex, this according to the Daily Telegraph.

“It’s no longer seen as lazy or extravagant to hire someone to help you organise your wedding,” Sarah is quoted as saying. “People get their groceries delivered at home and employ cleaners, so why not have someone with insider knowledge do your groundwork on the big day?”

Recent reports have claimed that William and Kate, who have been together for around eight years, will marry in 2012. “Nothing is set in stone but 2012 is the date that is now being talked about,” a source said. “Whether William and Kate get married in 2012 or the year before, it will be the Queen who will throw them the most wonderful party and the line of thinking at the moment is that 2012 could be the perfect date. It would be the opportune time to put Britain and the Royal Family on the world stage.”

The Prince and long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton, both 27, have an “understanding” that they will walk down the aisle before Queen Elizabeth’s diamond jubilee in 2012.

Beautiful Wedding Jewellery for Beautiful Brides


In these cash conscious days, planning and paying for your wedding needs careful thought.  Many couples are having to look carefully at their budget when it comes to booking the wedding venue, the honeymoon and even when making the decision on which wedding dress to buy.

However, according to Rachel Morgan, editor of Wedding Ideas, most women “would pay a little extra to get the design of their dreams”, so when it comes to choosing your wedding jewellery then why not consider the ‘added value’ that buying from the range of wedding jewellery Girls Love Pearls have to offer.

A lot of brides are now looking at their wedding jewellery, not only to wear on their wedding day, but also with a view to ‘can I wear it again after the wedding’, perhaps for a special occasion or an evening event.  Obviously the bride and her entourage want to look beautiful on the big day, and Girls Love Pearls have a range of wedding jewellery to make sure the bride achieves this look, but we also think it’s important that the wedding jewellery we offer can be worn again and again.

All of our jewellery is of high quality and you don’t have to be a WAG or a Hollywood starlet to afford it. Our wedding jewellery is available at prices which are a fraction of what you’d expect to pay in the high street.  Our exquisite range of pearl bridal jewellery collection includes bridal necklaces, bridal bracelets and bridal earrings.

Remember, Girls Love Pearls are jewellery professionals, providing a high quality, made to measure service with many items of freshwater pearl jewellery being handfinished in our UK based studios.

Ebay Wedding Bargain

  • December 2, 2009 at 10:41 am


In October this year the Buckatree Hall Hotel in Shropshire put a complete wedding package up for sale on EBay following a cancellation. And although Mr Les Clark and his bride to be Colette Palin set aside a maximum of £1,000 for the EBay bid, all it took was a mere £51 to secure the wedding package.

Earlier the couple had contacted the 3 star Hotel with a view to booking their wedding there. However, the hotel’s staff tipped the couple off to the cancellation slot which had just gone up for sale on EBay. Ordinarily a wedding reception at this venue would set you back at least £1,500.

The lucky couple were treated to a red carpet welcome with a Bucks Fizz reception, followed by a 3 course meal for their guests, and an evening buffet for 50 guests. The hotel also provided a perfect end to the wedding day for the newlyweds with an overnight stay in the hotel’s honeymoon suite.

As a reported regular EBay user, Mr Clark wasted no time in placing a bid for the wedding reception. Ms Palin said they had jumped at the opportunity saying:”we just thought we would see if we could strike lucky.” They certainly did, winning the wedding package for just £51.The 25-year-old brides luck continued as she is reported to then have found the perfect wedding day dress with a whopping 50% discount taking the cost down to £450.
