Self Esteem, Body Confidence and Learning to Love Yourself

Kat

June 26, 2015

If you've been reading my blog (or following me on Instagram!) for a while you'll probably have already heard of Gala Darling. Not only is she one of my best friends, but I've been raving about her, and her message of Radical Self Love, for quite some time! I first discovered her blog in early 2009 (check out my adorable fangirling) but it wasn't until happenstance enabled us to meet IRL a few years later that I knew we were kindred spirits. There are just some people you meet who instantly light up your life and make the world seem like a more positive, happier place. Gala does this for me every single day and I'm so honoured to call her my friend.

With just a few guests and $7000 to spend, Joanne and Paul planned their travel themed wedding at Wakarusa Historical Museum. "The inspiration for our wedding was 'love is a journey' and nostalgia", said the bride. "We both love to travel, hence the train station location. Our unique flowers were made of old maps and we had suitcases and atlas jars with candles. We also had lots of globes and vintage cameras. We were married in the waiting room of the train station."

June 19, 2015

Heather and Kev’s wedding was full of quirky little DIY touches. They didn't want it to feel too orchestrated though; they just wanted it to feel natural and homemade. "After spending weeks and weeks reading through the brilliant Rock n Roll Bride blog, I decided on a bright theme with a 1950s twist", said Heather. "We wanted to keep things DIY too, with no massive styling required. We wanted it to feel like we’d done everything ourselves and that it was authentically ‘us’."

Bridesmaid’s in Black; Classy & Elegant or Funereal?

Kat

June 17, 2015

When we got married (yes that is me in this photo, I can't hardly recognise myself either!) I wanted my girls in black. They all wore a dress of their choosing but I thought monochrome would look classy and elegant, plus it suits everyone. I distinctly remember my mother being concerned that it would make the wedding "look like a funeral" but on the day she changed her mind, they all looked so beautiful!

Four Reasons Why You Should Have a Wedding Video

When planning your wedding, you'll be told over and over again that you should book a great wedding photographer. I wholeheartedly agree with this, but have you also considered booking a videographer? Unlike photography, videography seems to be right down the bottom of most couple's 'must have' lists and I think that's a real shame. Obviously budget has a lot to do with it, but as someone who didn't have a wedding film and regrets it, here are four reasons why I really think you should book one!
