Sweet Gibraltar Weddings

  You might understandably imagine that if you are planning on getting married in Gibraltar , it isn’t really possible to choose a ‘bad’ date for your wedding.  After all, even what is typically the coldest month in this part of the Iberian Peninsula – January – still tends to produce perfectly mild and hospitable weather. And as long as you and your beloved and every likely invitee can actually get to your destination wedding for the intended date, and the venue and related services will be available then, what else do you need to worry about?  Alas, the task of selecting the optimal wedding date isn’t quite as straightforward as that. So, partly for entertainment and partly for advice purposes, let’s take a look at some examples of when a given date for a wedding may be less than ideal.  Will there be a big sporting event taking place that day?  This is one of the classic mistakes that couples make when deciding on a wedding date – although to be fair...

  There are a lot of things about organising weddings in Gibraltar that aren’t a huge amount of fun – but if there is one thing that very much can be, it is surely the hiring of the wedding entertainment.  However, whether you have a band, DJs, dancers or any other entertainment act in mind, this aspect of organising your nuptials will also require you to think and tread carefully. By following the below five tips, though, you can help ensure you and your guests revel in a wedding reception that is memorable for all the finest reasons.  Book nice and early  Did you know that the most sought-after wedding bands tend to be booked about 12 to 18 months in advance? So, if you have a particular act in mind, booking their services shortly after you have secured the venue will help ensure you get your first-choice entertainment at a competitive price. Consider booking for an off-peak period  As wonderful as the Gibraltar weather is at the height of summer, o...

  The emergence of social media in the last few decades (yes, decades – MySpace was founded almost 20 years ago now!) has certainly opened up many opportunities in our lives that we might have never expected in the old days. The chances are that today, you have friends you know or first met through a social network like Facebook or Twitter; it has truly helped bring many of us together.  And as we have previously written about here at Sweet Gibraltar Weddings, you might be particularly looking forward to posting content on your social media profiles when you will be getting married in Gibraltar .   But as we all know (or at least, most of us should know) by now, social media can have a problematic side. Specifically, we need to be careful about what we publish on such platforms, perhaps even more so when a particular important event, such as a wedding, is looming in our lives.  So, partly for fun and partly as sincere advice, let’s look at some of the things...

  It’s one of the most hyped-up aspects of any wedding, with many of us feeling considerable pressure to get it right: no, we’re not referring to the venue, or even the guest list, but instead to the wedding dress. So, it’s important not to feel guilty if you do choose a dress for your nuptials in Gibraltar, and later find yourself wondering whether it’s really the right choice for you.  The good news if that if this describes your situation right now, you will almost certainly have options for reconsidering, modifying, or potentially replacing your chosen wedding dress if necessary. Let’s take you through them.  Could simply trying the dress on again help?  Let’s assume your dress has already arrived at your chosen bridal boutique. In that case – and if you’re merely uncertain whether you have made the right choice of wedding dress – it could be a great decision to make an appointment to try the dress on again. Or, if the dress hasn’t yet arrived, the boutiq...
