  • Pack light. When packing for a destination wedding, it’s important to pack light. You’ll be doing a lot of walking and sightseeing, so you don’t want to be weighed down by heavy luggage. Pack only the essentials and leave the rest at home.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Men’s Wedding Ring

Choosing your new men’s wedding ring needs a lot of intentionality and deliberation as you will be wearing your wedding ring for the rest of your life. Here are a few tips that can help and guide you through the process of choosing your wedding rings.

1.   Budgeting for your men’s wedding ring

The most important thing to determine even before you go shopping for your wedding ring is the amount you are willing to spend on it.
Wedding rings’ price varies from a few hundred dollars to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the style, designs, materials, and extra features like customizations and engravings.
Budgeting prevents you from spending too much money on your wedding ring while ensuring that you get a ring that fits both your style, personality, and finances.

2.   Put your lifestyle into consideration

Another thing to consider when choosing a men’s wedding ring is the lifestyle, job, and hobbies of the groom.
If you are a handyman who loves working with his hands, the perfect ring for you is a ring that is scratch resistant and durable. Also, if you love nature and traveling, a ring that can withstand different changes and the harshness of weather conditions is what’s perfect for you. On the other hand, if you lead an active lifestyle, you should choose a ring that is lightweight and feels comfortable.
The bottom line is that you choose a men’s wedding ring that complements and suits your lifestyle and day-to-day activities.

‘Elegant Boho’ Sumptuous Boho Elegance With a Hint of Hipster Wedding Inspiration

Today I am taking you to a venue not far from me! Cannon Hall Museum Park and Garden in Barnsley is about 30-40 minutes away from me. So when this gorgeous boho lux styled shot landed in my inbox, I just knew I had to share it with you! The shoot is a mixture of two different looks and two different ceremonies. One loose and relaxed outdoor ceremony for a more intimate boho feel, soft drapes, stunning flowers and the most divine gown. While the second is inside, so more traditional with an elegant boho vibe. Both looks are stunning, both show of the venue beautifully and both give us some gorgeous inspiration for a Boho Lux style wedding.
