Courtney and Nick wanted a day that didn't break the bank. They managed to keep the costs down by shopping in charity shops, accepting help from family and friends and DIYing a lot! They put the flowers together themselves, had a playlist instead of a band or DJ and made their own stationery. Both of their outfits were "lucky finds on the internet". The designers didn't matter to them, only that they liked what they wore. The bridesmaids had dresses from eBay.Read more...

Someone tweeted me last week that I should write a post titled "It's a blog eat blog world out there". It made me chuckle so that's exactly what I've done. I hope it's helpful as well as just slightly amusing though! Here are my thoughts on what makes a successful blog:Read more...

Alex and Sophia were married at Stoke Newington Town Hall, followed by a reception at The Draper’s Arms pub in Islington, London. They day had a subtle vintage vibe - from Sophia's Jenny Packham dress and Flo and Percy headpiece, to the retro photo booth and polaroid shots their photographer Lisa Jane took! Ultimately though, they wanted a local wedding that was intimate and enjoyable for their guests.Read more...

Emily and Bernard were married at Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island in Washington. They wanted an intimate, special day and didn't want to spend a lot of cash so they also thrifed wherever they could. Emily's dress was by Free People, her shoes were from Goodwill and her jewellery was all vintage. Bernard's outfit was also second-hand and all the flowers were picked from a nearby wood!Read more...

When it came to choosing what my best girls were going to wear on our wedding day I was adamant from the start that I wanted to let them choose. It actually never even crossed my mind that I might pick their dresses for them. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and we all have very different tastes, so who was I to tell them what they could or could not wear!?Read more...

This week I did my first solo livestream, was interviewed by BBC online for a feature on blogging and chatted to Anne Diamond on BBC Radio Berkshire! Phew! Other than that I've really just been gearing up to hit the road with The Blogcademy again this month. Our first stop off is London (yay!) for two workshops and our mixer event before we head over to Europe to do workshops in Berlin and Amsterdam. It's all go, go, go as usual and I really couldn't be happier. In fact I feel so incredibly lucky that this is my life right now. OH! And happy forth of July to my American readers for tomorrow. I hope you have a glorious one.Read more...

The rumours are true, I'm obsessed with my work. But I have a dirty little secret... I sometimes feel really guilty about just how very obsessive I am. Confession time (deep breath). On an almost daily basis I have that overwhelming feeling of guilt that I'm devoting too much time to this blog and not enough to everything - and everyone - else. As painful as it is to admit, I often feel like I'm letting everything else play second fiddle to work. That, by the way, is an awful feeling to have.Read more...

Whether it's something big like stressing that your divorced parents will have an blazing mid-ceremony row, or as trivial as worrying that your flowers won't match your perfectly planned colour scheme, having a mild pre-wedding freak out is completely normal.Read more...

Ben and Roo wanted their big day to feel like 'them'. So they enlisted the help of friends and family to hand craft the wedding of their dreams! "Our theme was 'nature meets colorful meets elegant meets comfortable!" began the bride. "I was a circus performer for ten years and Ben has been a rigger for his whole professional life. Our friends are eclectic and multi-skilled and they all pitched in. It made a blank slate of a venue become a colorful tapestry of strings of circus lights, people on stilts, colorful guests, chandeliers hanging from trees and an amazing electro-swing dance party!"Read more...

If you’d asked me three years ago to do any kind of detox programme, I can tell you with 100% certainty that I would have screamed back "Oh hell no!" But since turning 30 and spending a large proportion of my time in America (where there is a juice bar on nearly every corner!) the way my body feels on a daily basis has been on the forefront of my mind.Read more...

Danny and Maya were married at Cedar Bend Events, just 25 minutes outside of Austin. They chose their venue because they wanted an outdoor wedding and this place was beautiful! "We both really wanted the wedding to be outdoors and to embody the relaxing feel of a backyard barbecue", wrote the groom. "Our original plan was actually to have a family barbecue style event and handle all of the food/catering as a family, but that proved too difficult logistically, so we opted for a wedding venue that could provide the same relaxed feeling."Read more...
