The day itself passes so quickly, but the memories stay with you forever — and so do your wedding photographs. 31. 10. 2026 A Wedding Abroad, with the Groom Taking the Lead Some grooms want to be involved in much more than turning up to say “I do”. When we organised weddings abroad at YachtWedding, we met men who genuinely enjoyed taking part in the preparations. They wanted to help shape a day that belonged to both of them. 31. 10. 2026 What Should a Groom Wear for a Wedding Abroad? One advantage of a wedding abroad, especially one by the sea, is that the groom can often dress more casually than at a traditional wedding. Sometimes trousers and a shirt are all you need.

He's a passionate sailor himself. 30. 10. 2026 Wedding bouquet colour: how to make it work with your dress and venue A Pinterest photo is a good starting point, but it is not an exact colour swatch. Instead of asking a florist to reproduce one image precisely, decide what role you want the bouquet to play, which shades matter most and where you can allow substitutions.
