The Week Before Your Very Special Day...

The week before your very special day should ,with the help of your wonderful wedding planner from The Pink Flamingo Wedding Company, be a time to feel relaxed and in control. If you are at home or in Portugal for your big day it’s time to think about you…and only you.

Do’s

Do make sure you are getting plenty of sleep, fresh air and gentle exercise so your body feels healthy  and  toned.
   Do take a warm Epsom salt bath 3 days before your wedding day, the salt will draw out any excess water.
    Do enjoy a light diet full of protein, fresh fruit and vegetable so your skin will glow and your hair will shine.
Do drink plenty of water so you feel hydrated.
                          Do have a small amount of alcohol so you don’t fall over after the first glass on your wedding day!

Don'ts

    Don’t take up a new sport or strenuous exercise routine to lose a few extra pounds, you                don’t want to be limping down the aisle.
      Don’t lie in the sun and get sunburnt, strap marks never look good on the photographs.
  Don’t eat spicy food or change your diet, flatulence never ever sounds pretty!
  Don’t drink carbonated drinks or you will feel and look bloated.
  Don’t drink lots of alcohol the night before or you will feel dehydrated on the day.



Finally…enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Romantic Native American Wedding Blessing



This romantic and moving blessing was read during the ceremony of a beautiful wedding we planned in Lisbon for a really special couple. We really love what we do and it was truly wonderful to play a part in such a lovely day.
Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be the shelter for each other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be the warmth for the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before.
Go now to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your life together. And may your days be good and long upon the earth. Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind yourselves often of what brought you together.
Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your connection deserves. When frustration, difficulty and fear assail your relationship - as they threaten all relationships at one time or another - remember to focus on what is right between you, not only the part which seems wrong. In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives - remembering that even if you lose sight of it for a moment, the sun is still there.
And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight.
