Afternoon folks,

Yesterday on the blog we talked about our plans for the blog and today we are very excited to be introducing you to the first of our guest bloggers. For those of you considering a destination wedding, or even if you haven't considered it, you soon will be after hearing about Love & Lord. Imagine your wedding taking place against the backdrop of the natural beauty of Tuscany or the intense atmosphere of Marrakech. In fact, imagine your wedding almost anywhere and the clever folk at Love & Lord can make it happen.

Their weddings range from small celebrations to week-long wedding extravaganzas including a Persian ceremony, a Greek Hindu wedding and an Indian wedding feast, and have provided such luxuries as a fleet of vintage Ferraris; a flight of Doves; and a flock of synchronised swimmers. If your wedding plans are a little closer to home, Love & Lord can work their magic in some amazing UK locations such as Lennoxlove in Scotland or the very stylish Manoir Aux Quat Saisons in the Home Counties.

With their team of elite multi-lingual European wedding planners who have unrivalled local knowledge of wedding locations and service, Love & Lord use their personal connections with the very top wedding suppliers to make your wedding unforgettable. Their ‘little black book’ connects with the leading European experts in bridal wear, logistics, floral design, food and drink, fashion, tableware, venues and local entertainment and recreation so you won't have to worry about any aspect of your wedding being left to chance.

So what is their secret? Their award-winning secret is never to work to a formula. Every wedding they organise is unique, based on the couple’s individual requirements with no two weddings the same. They are dedicated to creating distinctive, high quality weddings abroad and at home that fulfil dreams and create vividly happy memories.

Love & Lord will be bringing monthly inspiration to the Hope & Grace blog with destination guides and stunning real weddings that they have created in some of the most beautiful locations. Pop back on Thursday to read their first guest blog post.
