Newly Engaged? Congratulations! Now read on...

The period surrounding Christmas and New Year is one of the most romantic times of year, and it always results in lots of newly engaged couples at the start of the New Year. If you're one half of one such a happy couple, then Congratulations from us all here at Vivien of Holloway!

Once the initial excitement has died down a little and you've managed to stop staring at your left hand every other second, you'll start to think about some of the details; the whens and wheres of it all. You'll start to throw ideas around, and change your mind a thousand times before stumbling upon ideas that just seem right for you both.
