Hey Kat! I'm getting married in September and have been stressing over The Bridesmaid Situation for a while now. So my question is, what's the Rock n Roll version of a bridesmaid and what does she do? As much as I love channelling Blair Waldorf it just seems a bit minion-y, like an on-display clique, since I don't have an obvious set of BFFs and hate to "draw the line". Help!Read more...

Karey and Ben flew over from London for a quickie Elvis wedding in Vegas and they brought their closest friends and family along for the ride! They planned the whole thing in just TWO WEEKS (yes, you read that right!) and kept the fact they were getting married secret from everybody back at home.Read more...

Mike and Emily were married at home. Their September wedding was Bavarian themed, inspired by their many trips to Germany! "We feel our wedding was pretty unique", began the bride. "It was hard to find resources for a Bavarian wedding in America so we did so much ourselves and really enjoyed every minute of it. We had a biergarten, circus tents and live music from a variety of our talented friends all day and night. We called our theme a Bavarian street fair, and a fairytale meets Oktoberfest!"Read more...

There really is no other way to explain Lucy and Benjamin's wedding. There are Alice in Wonderland weddings... and there are festival weddings... but mash them both together and imagine everyone in attendance has dropped acid and you're maybe halfway there to how bonkers this wedding was! Their wedding photographer Lee Allen described it as the maddest wedding he's ever been involved with... and you know what, I can totally see why!Read more...

Diamonds aren't always a girl's best friend. Whether it's for ethical reasons, they're just too damn expensive, or just because you really want something a bit more individual, there are so many alternative engagement rings to be found!Read more...

Robert and Kerri wanted to marry on their own terms. That meant no big, flashy party or extra expense - just the two of them and a few witnesses. They chose to elope at Phoenix Municipal Court last April and spent just $1000 to do so.Read more...

Happy Friday! I think this colourful and fun wedding all the way from Chile is the perfect way to head into the weekend, don't you? After their chapel ceremony, Trini and Fe hosted their reception at the bride's parent's home. They had a small budget, $7000, so they did practically everything themselves.Read more...

Juliana and Forrest were married at the bride's parent's home in California in October. Their inspiration was the time of year, so they had Halloween and Day of the Dead references mixed in with other things they both love such as the theatre and music from the 1920s-40s. They also wanted to play homage to their Latin heritage.Read more...

If there's one thing I love more than anything about running this blog and my magazine, it's that I have the opportunity to share with you some truly amazing and utterly creative wedding suppliers that might not be included in more mainstream publications. Brighton based designer Louise O'Mahony of Oh My Honey falls squarely into that camp. I first discovered her when I featured this amazing snow queen shoot that she not only supplied the dresses for, but modelled in too (that's her with the blue hair!) and I quickly fell in love with her colourful, whimsical, 1950s inspired wedding dresses.Read more...

Last Friday was officially the first day of Spring so I can think of no more perfect to have a little digital spring clean. That's exactly what we are doing at The Blogcademy. We are currently working on a whole host of brand new digital and live course offerings (so exciting, just you wait!), and so the time has come to clear the decks to make space for them.Read more...

Becky and Dave budgeted £5000 for their 1950s wedding. They wanted a really special and unique day, but they didn't want to spend a fortune getting it! They were inspired by everything they mutually love for their retro theme.Read more...

Andel and Pieter were married between Christmas and New Year's Eve in Riversdale, South Africa. They chose Die ou Tronk, an old prison, as their venue. Surprisingly this unusual location has been converted into the most gorgeous event space! From outside the building looks as you would expect, but once inside you are met by a beautiful, bright courtyard with lots of flowers and trees.Read more...

Blyth and Jeff chose Blair Castle in Scotland at their wedding venue. With the groom loving all things Scotland and the bride actually being Scottish, it was the perfect place for them. "Jeff and I met online", Blyth told me. "We contacted each other at the exact same time and agreed to meet a few weeks later. On our first date we discovered we shared a birthday, as well as some real chemistry. One year later, he popped the question on a deserted beach in Antigua, complete with sunset and horses swimming in the ocean. We decided on a castle venue and searched high and low to find the right one. When I viewed St Brides Kirk, the roofless ruined chapel on the grounds of Blair Castle, I fell for it immediately and knew we had to be married there."Read more...

Here are some of the best ones I've found, and praise the lord, they all come in at under £100!Read more...

Surely you know what a kiss is?" she asked, aghast. "I shall know when you give it to me," he replied stiffly, and not to hurt his feeling she gave him a thimble. "Now," said he, "shall I give you a kiss?" and she replied with a slight primness, "If you please."Read more...
