To marry? This is the best anticipation

Anyone who has wedding plans does not need to hear from us that you have to stick to the 'old-fashioned rules': day guests, reception, big party, etc. That is no longer the case. In fact, with about 30 people it is just as much of a party. as with 100. Personally, I (Maartje) find an intimate party 1000 x more fun than a big party, but that's me. Anyway: the anticipation is on!

The Book about Marriage

The Book about Marriage

Look, if there's one reason why you should buy this book, it's the title. The Book about Marriage. Brilliant of course. Because what more could an expectant couple want? So a book about marriage. Not just any one, no no. We know the author, Marit, behind the scenes Girlsofhonour.nl, a little bit and it has what you call taste. So it became a book about quirky weddings. No dime a dozen ideas, but real tips, great locations and things that are useful to you. But, like our own Myrthe always says: these are mainly tools for planning a wedding that suits you.

Oh, and Marit didn't make that book alone: ​​no no, her sister (we like it) Anouk is a wedding photographer (Anouk Fotografeert). A family team effort like the best! You can shop it here:

Diary of a wedding planner

Diary of a wedding planner

Many (future) brides are probably familiar with the following phenomenon. As soon as an engagement ring is on it, you enter the wonderful world of marriage and weddings. A world oh, so beautiful and oh, so gigantic! There's a lot coming your way and the choice is enormous. Are you going for that dream wedding you had as a child? Or will it be that completely different dress or saying yes in rural France? Lotte also helps with that step (in addition to taking care of the location, all the snacks, drinks, cars, cakes, flowers, and so on). Back to what you originally wanted and see how to work it out from there.

Wedding planner Lotte wrote a book about it, you can read here more and you order here the book

Marriage certificate.

When you get married you get a marriage certificate and that is secretly very nice and a bit old-fashioned. In a good way. One of our most favorite Dutch writers – nice and light-hearted and always with humor, in short; funniest columnist in the Netherlands – Aaf Brandt Corstius, writes a delicious snackable book about it. With, ha!, genuinely good tips.
