The film shoot for our new destination wedding advert took place yesterday, and went well, despite the weather not entirely playing ball! We had a good time finding the best shots on the beach to give brides inspiration for their wedding day. Keep an eye on our Youtube channel as it'll be live there soon, and then on TV later in the year.
Day 3 Thursday was high energy day. The Via Ferrata is a popular activity in Cortina and we were all going to undertake one of the routes up a mountain overlooking the town. Via Ferrata is where a cable is attached to the side of a mountain and you climb up attached to the cable by ropes and clips. A bit like climbing with the route already mapped out for you and attached to something that shouldn't break! When we arrived at the mountain I took one look and thought there was no way I would be able to climb up there. I'd never been climbing before and had no idea what to do. Nevertheless, I gave it a go, and with quite a lot of effort I made it up 3 metres before our guide (who had climbed K2 and is quite famous locally) decided that he didn't fancy hauling me the whole way up the mountain and made me abseil down instead! I can't say that I was too disappointed as my whole body was shaking already, so two more hours of that was looking a bit daunting. Although, if...
Couples choose to marry abroad for a multitude of reasons, but cost is always a major factor in the decision to go overseas. Low cost weddings are popular, but more often than not it's value for money that the bridal couple is looking for. The pretty island of Kefalonia in Greece makes wedding dreams come true on many levels – excellent weather, romantic locations, stunning scenery and, best of all, wedding packages costing up to 70% less than in the UK. Donna Palimeri from wedding company Kefalonia Weddings says, “massive savings can be made by having your wedding here rather than in the UK.

Most couples don't have such a large budget to spend on their special day, but couples choosing to make their vows in one of Greece's most historically beautiful and secluded hideaways ensures that they can have the same level of service, quality and attent...
Combining the romance of sail with a spectacularly romantic ocean setting, Star Clippers is offering the opportunity for a sunset marriage blessing on the upper deck of the company's four-masted `Star Clipper’ or `Star Flyer’ and the five-masted `Royal Clipper’, conducted by the ship’s captain, attended by uniformed crew. The blessing can be arranged on Star Clipper voyages in the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Central America and the romance starts when honeymoon guests are welcomed on board with champagne and fruit basket in their cabin. The recreation of these graceful 19th century style clipper ships for modern-day sailing voyages was the inspiration of a Swedish businessman, Mikael Krafft, whose first two vessels, Star Flyer and Star Clipper, were the first true clipper ships to be built since 1910, recreating the golden age of sail when square-rigged trading `clipper’ ships would race one another across the world’s great oceans as they delivered passengers and...
