June | 2019 | So Many Lovely Things

Calm down, I am not settling (down)! Now to the real reason behind the title…

If you are a bride, there are lots of big ticket items you will definitely have ticked off your list, but we know the devil is in the detail and one of the little touches that makes a big difference is giving your bridesmaids and wedding party a thoughtful gift.

They supported you through the blissful, the stressful and even maybe the bridezilla and it’s lovely to say thank you for having them in your life.

How, you ask? Pandora has a lovely bridesmaid collection, geared towards this type of gifting, but also options aplenty on the site, and with options for various budgets – be it to keep as a token of gratitude and friendship or to wear on the day.

The collection is very stylish and carries very intricate and symbolic designs, ranging from classic to trendy, certain to meet all varied tastes and age groups.

The selection of their famous charms for the occasion is very cute, some carrying meaningful messages. You can build a bracelet for £129.

On top of that, a necklace is always a good choice, and Pandora’s selection is second to none – the one I was gifted, Shimmering Wish, costs £70 and it’s sterling silver with cubic zirconia in the shape of a wishbone.

It can be made into a set with earring and a lovely bangle with the same design.

Apart from being beautiful and well crafted, Pandora really helps take a tiny bit of stress from having to go to many places to gift your wedding party – to be honest, most of their jewellery is more than suitable for the occasion.

We were presented with the new collection at the Ivy Tower Bridge, over a fun night for food and drinks, where we had a calligraphy workshop – which is also handy to get those gifts an extra special touch!

I am pretty sure that thanking your bridesmaids with a Pandora gift would have them, unintentionally, thanking YOU for a thoughtful gift to be kept for a long time.

You know the drill, but I’ll say anyway: I was invited to see the collection and was gifted the necklace. This piece, however, is based on my honest opinion.

Have you ever wished to get your hands on a fine bottle of wine, within 45 minutes and barely moving a muscle?

Granted! Wineapp has a great range of fine wines, selected by sommeliers, delivered to your door, typically in 45 mins to an hour in London zone 1 and 2 and next day in other parts of London.

This extremely neat app has gorgeous graphics and pretty interactions, married with stunning imagery and great information of the wines on offer – flatlays with the elements in the bouquet? Yes, please.

Usability is great and service friendly – be it in the chat or the driver delivering the goods, and you can track the whole wine journey from warehouse to you.

I placed a few orders to my office and the were delivered in 45 minutes – one even under – just make sure you have your ID to receive.

And, it gets better – if you use my code, DD167, you get £15 off. Now, that’s enough for a bottle with delivery. Yes, you are reading this right: FREE wine delivered to you, so you try and fall in love.

I can not recommend the La Mascota Malbec enough. Delicious and easy drinking at £13.95 a bottle is great value.

And the Ruggeri prosecco (£16.49), heavily featured in this post plus sold at Nobu, don’t you know, which is crispy and fresh, perfect for the summer.

Download the app (App Store and GooglePlay) and make sure to use DD167 at checkout for £15 off your order.

Delivery costs £2.50 but if you spend £50 or over it is free!

You know the drill, but I’ll say anyway: my orders were gifted, only for Instagram posts. This review, however, is based on my honest opinion, written at my own initiative will as I enjoy the service so much!
