Unplugged Weddings :: Should you ask your guests to ditch the mobiles?

What on earth is an unplugged wedding? To me, unplugged reminds me of the MTV acoustic sessions of the 1990s. In my opinion Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York is one of the best albums out there. Put the phone down! In the wedding world, ‘unplugged’ has come to mean asking guests to put down […]
