In these uncertain times, we know that lots of brides have been dreaming about their wedding dress but not able to go shopping yet.

Here are a few images that have struck a chord with us during #lockdown and this #covid19 outbreak. We won’t forget them in a hurry.
1. These words have never been more pertinent as we remember #veday today
2. Children and grandparents visiting in isolation © Chris Page- this photograph makes us think of all the children who used to regularly see their grandparents. Hopefully this can change soon. #Repost @royalphotographicsociety -
The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of the #RPS, and the @NationalPortraitGallery have launched ‘Hold Still’, an ambitious community photography project to capture the spirit, the mood, the hopes, the fears and the feelings of the nation as we continue to deal with the Coronavirus outbreak. This is one of their photographs that captures a snapshot of the UK at this time, creating a collective portrait of lockdown as we hold still for the good of others, and celebrate those who have continued so we can stay safe. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
3. Thomas Moore (born 30 April 1920), popularly known as Captain Tom, is a former British Army officer known for his achievements raising money for charity in the run-up to his 100th birthday during the COVID-19 pandemic. On 6 April 2020, at the age of 99, he began to walk laps of his garden in aid of NHS Charities Together, with the goal of raising £1,000 by his hundredth birthday. He has, to date, raised over £32 million.
4. A simple photograph of some homegrown tulips 🌷 - we have watched them grow during lockdown and they have given us so much enjoyment. Nature certainly never stops and, whilst we have spent more time at home, we have found it very therapeutic to put our worries to one side for a while whilst working in the garden.
It is important to remember the simple things. We appreciate this is an uncertain and worrying time for so many.

This is to thank our veterans and all those who lost their lives fighting for our country. There will be two minutes of silence at 11am to reflect upon everyone’s bravery in addition to the Royal Air Force carrying out flypasts across the UK’s capital cities – modern RAF Typhoon jets fly over Edinburgh. Don’t forget to turn on your television at 9pm to hear an address from the Queen before we are all then encouraged to join in a nationwide rendition of Dame Vera Lynn’s ‘We’ll Meet Again’.

#doyouknow why bridesmaids wear the same dress?
The tradition began in Ancient Rome and, initially, it wasn't just the bridesmaids who all dressed the same as the bride would also wear the same dress. This is because the bridesmaids were actually there to act as decoys. The reason for this was that any happy event was also believed to attract evil spirits.

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.

Did you know? Lily of the Valley, known as the May

Did you know? Lily of the Valley, known as the May lily, means "return to happiness". It symbolises purity, happiness, luck and luck in love. This is the reason why it is sometimes used in bouquets. We find learning about what flowers represent fascinating.
The french tradition of giving ‘lily of the valley’ flowers on the 1st May is said to have begun in 1560. This is when knight Louis Girard presented King Charles IX with a bunch of ‘lily of the valley’ flowers as a token of luck and prosperity for the coming year. #1stmay #mayday #lilyofthevalley #luckyinlove #symbolism #bouquets #lilyofthevalleybouquet #maylily #whiteflowers
