Made in Cymru has launched a new Welsh craft fair directory

Made in Cyrmu has introduced a new feature to help shoppers find local markets and craft fairs. The new online directory brings together hundreds of local market events in an easy-to-use responsive calendar format. With filters allowing people to search their region, shoppers across all of Wales can now find a craft fair, market or maker’s event near them with ease.
 
The Craft Fair Directory is part of the wider mission of the popular online Welsh shopping marketplace Made in Cymru, to help promote Welsh-made products and spotlight Welsh businesses. The directory promotes everything from one-day independent artisan events to major recurring week-long markets and organisers can easily submit their events to attract more attention and more visitors. Many of the site’s talented makers are already showcasing their work at these markets and fairs, so it made sense to encourage shoppers and makers to connect online and in the real world.

Designed to work on a desktop computer for committed planners or the mobile phones of more spontaneous shoppers, the Craft Fair Directory is set to become a fantastic digital tool to promote and highlight the Welsh artisan community. Combined, the directory and Made in Cymru's website mean Welsh businesses can better reach their local community and simultaneously reach UK audiences.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.

One4all Gift Cards unveils wedding gift trend for Welsh couples

New research from One4all Gift Cards reveals that, above all else, people from Wales believe wedding guests are expected to give what they can afford. Almost half (43%) say this is the most important expectation when attending a wedding. Against a backdrop of continued pressure on household budgets, findings suggest people in Wales are taking a more realistic approach to wedding gifting, with affordability now sitting at the heart of what many believe is expected of guests. More than a third (36%) of Welsh respondents say they're unsure what the right amount to give is, highlighting how unclear modern gifting expectations have become. Guests want to mark the occasion and give something thoughtful, but many are weighing up what feels appropriate, useful and genuinely affordable.
