Unique Gifts for Brides and Bridesmaids This Wedding Season

Weddings are a pompous affair in the UK. As a symbol of joining of two people, it calls for being celebrated with style and grandeur. Some couples take over a year to plan their wedding right from the venue to caterers to dresses, travel, entertainment and honeymoon, every detail is planned well. An average couple in the UK tends to spend a whopping £36,000 on the wedding, half of which is spent on the ceremony itself. It is also an occasion for sharing gifts, of bonding with each other, enjoining in the happiness and blessing the couple. A lot of people find it hard to decide on a gift and what should be its value.
