There is a lot of pressure surrounding weddings. Pressure to have the most gorgeous celebration, to spend the most (or least!) money, to DIY up a storm and for everything to be utterly picture perfect. So it doesn't come as a shock to me that proposal expectations can also be sky-high for the soon to be betrothed.Read more...

Cat and Harry are an easy-going kinda couple, so they wanted that reflected in their August wedding. Their ceremony was held at Islington Town Hall, and their reception at The Peasant pub down the road.Read more...

Don't get me wrong, love is a wonderfully glorious thing, but the forced "We're so in lurrrve, let's spend lots of money on overpriced bouquets and go to a packed restaurant with everyone else that's also in lurrrrrve" attitude around Valentine's Day isn't really my bag.Read more...

There are a million and one wedding fairs (or so it sometimes seems!) all over the UK. While I think visiting at least one is a bit of a right of passage for all brides-to-be, how do you know which is the best one to visit? Well, to help you make up your mind, I've got an exclusive ticket offer for The London ExCel Wedding Show, taking place between January 31st and February 1st.Read more...

Laura and Aidan were married on the stage at Wakefield Theatre. They had a small wedding budget, spending just £3,500, but their wedding was every bit as special as one with 10 times the money in the pot!Read more...

Full disclosure: this isn't a real wedding... BUT I had to feature it anyway because I love the idea of running away to a mountain and having an adorable and completely understated elopement ceremony!Read more...

It's no great secret that I adore colourful weddings. Eli and Miquel clearly feel the same because their Spanish wedding was filled will glorious colour! "We wanted our wedding to have an air of festivity and a colourful but casual tone", said the bride, "It was a magical night. The venue, L'Avellana Mas d'en Cabre, really helped to make everything a success."Read more...

Aynhoe Park might be one of the weirdest and most wonderful wedding venues in the UK... because it's stuffed (boom boom!) full of taxidermy! Everywhere you look the walls are adorned with animals. They even have a full sized giraffe being held up by balloons! Rosie and James wanted somewhere unusual to host their alternative wedding and Aynhoe Park was just perfect.Read more...

The incredible wedding of Robin and Jeannine took place at Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens in August. "As a queer couple (gay, female identified Jeannine and gender/queer, trans identified Robin) we found it important to craft our wedding and the many details on our own so that it didn't fall into a too traditional event that we ourselves didn't fit into", they told me. "We used and encouraged gender-neutral language, used as many recycled materials as possible, and put our hearts and energy into all the aspects of what turned out to be an incredible day. Jeannine literally took the summer off from teaching for the first time ever and approached wedding planning in the same manner that she might develop curricula for her students. We also asked for support and inspiration in myriad areas of planning and production from our community of talented friends and loved ones."Read more...

I receive emails from women worried about their wedding every single day. "Will it be cool enough?" "How do I deal with my meddling mother-in-law?" "Why are my bridesmaids being such arseholes?" But sometimes I get an email like this one, and more than with any of the others, I want to drop everything, find this person in real life and give them a massive hug.Read more...

Sian and Nathan's wedding was a celebration of 'them'. They wanted to put their own spin on everything so they handmade all the decorations for the reception, had their dog in attendance and, just for fun, had little Lego men on the groom's buttonholes!Read more...

Anna and Daniel's wedding was DIY in the truest sense of the word because they did everything themselves. The bride even made her own dress! The wedding had a really unusual theme too. They wanted something creative and were influenced by deer skulls and antlers!Read more...

Loving all things retro, Lucy and Michael always knew that would be the theme of her wedding. When it came to actually planning their big day though, they wanted it to be unique so they threw in some colourful Mexican influences for good measure! They had a mariachi band, their decoration was colourful and they even served a Mexican inspired buffet feast! The groom's love of The Beatles couldn't be ignored, so the bride walked down the aisle to one of their sings and their tables were named after Beatles albums.Read more...

Last Thursday was just a little bit of an exciting day for me, which meant I totally forgot about Thursday Treats. I would say sorry... but, you know... I published a goddamn magazine so its more of a case of #sorrynotsorry actually! Last week was an utter whirlwind. The comments from those of you that got your mitts on a copy were unbelievable and very, very overwhelming. So thank you so much for that. I'm so glad you all love it as much as I do! ALSO, issue 1 sold out online in just FOUR DAYS!!Read more...
