Across the Pond
There's no doubt about it, American brides really know how to put on a wedding in style. They've been taught well by Martha Stewart … I love looking at US wedding blogs, but it's not particularly helpful to know that (a) the stunningly talented wedding planners and photographers they feature are based thousands of miles away, and (b) that given the weather in this wonderful country, looking at snaps of a picture-perfect Malibu beach wedding is not going to yield many practical tips for the British bride.However. There is one invention that can help us get our hands on some of that All-American goodness. One of those how-did-I-not-think-of-this-myself inventions … the amazing Bundle Box. If you haven't encountered Bundle Box, it's my dream come true - a company that provides you with a US mailing address (and even a US credit card if necessary) to allow you to shop online at US stores and ship your purchases to BB which will package up your loot, work out shipping & tax costs, and deliver it all to your door quick-smart for one integrated fee. Not quite as tax "efficient" as getting your US-based colleagues to take delivery of and lug over your booty on their next business trip, but a brilliant, (almost) instant-gratification solution.
Thanks to Bundle Box, it's possible to devote a snippet of this blog to the delights that await you across the pond in the Land of Plenty. Stay posted for some gorgeous American style ideas that YOU can get your hands on ...
