The perfect starting point for couples feeling like rabbits in the headlights when it comes to planning their dream big day, author Laura Britton is confident that her book will also be a useful aid for couples using a professional planner to share their hopes, dreams, and expectations. Laura says, “Having been diagnosed with FND (functional neurological disorder) following a car crash last year, I have been unable to work. As I didn't want this illness to define me, I created a book that would help people and provide treasured memories to come, hence Our Wedding Planner. The motto for my business is ‘cherish the ordinary moments, for they have the power to become extraordinary memories' and this book is all about putting in place a wedding plan that will always be remembered as a special time.”
Laura Britton’s decision to embark on a new career as an author, brings into play the full extent of the experience gained having worked for a number of years in the wedding industry.
Wowcher’s spa expert Cheryl Corns shares five ways to enjoy a little luxury for less
A relaxing spa visit doesn't have to involve an overnight stay or a three-figure budget. From choosing a shorter treatment with facilities access to comparing afternoon packages, there are ways to enjoy a little luxury while keeping spending down. Cheryl Corns, Wowcher's spa expert, shares five practical tips to help people find a spa experience that suits their budget. "Start with what you'd most enjoy from your visit," says Cheryl. "A massage, a swim and some time in the sauna might be exactly what you're looking for. You don't necessarily need a long treatment or an overnight stay to make it feel like a treat. "The key is to compare the whole experience—what treatment you get, which facilities you can use and how much time you have there—so you choose something that works for you."
