Boxing Day 2009 could see more wedding enquiries and bookings than the day after Valentines Day. That’s the prediction of Damian Clarkson, owner and managing director of The London Kitchen, who is advising aspiring brides to act early. He also believes that, to stay ahead of the current wedding trends sweeping the UK, you should think patriotic, relaxed and familiar.

 

“By lunchtime on Boxing Day after that Christmas Day proposal, the best dates, locations and caterers are booked,” says Damian. “So our advice is to get as many of your wedding plans in place before the end of the festive season. Leaving it late can mean waiting another year or getting married at the wrong time and place.”
