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!Read more...

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with plastic willies, L plates and strippers... in actual fact I've been to many hilariously awesome hen dos just like this and had an utter ball. But if you want to do something that's more muddy than smutty, how about heading to a festival with your best girls!?Read more...

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!Read more...

There’s nothing more exciting than planning your wedding, whether you go for a large lavish affair or a more understated, personal day, there is always plenty to think about and arrange! But with all the excitement and celebration going on around you, it's very easy to get caught up in the moment and forget that your wedding is about more than just the day itself.Read more...

If there's one thing I know Rock n Roll brides want more than anything else, it's to put their own stamp on their wedding.

Which is why I'm always thrilled beyond belief when I get to share amazing companies that reflect this ethos with you!Read more...

What I lack in DIY skills I certainly make up for in creative friends, so when HP got in touch asking if I'd like to partner with them to showcase their amazing new Sprout computer, I called in the reinforcements! Sophie, Ronnie and I then started brainstorming ideas for some cute greetings cards that we could create for you, although we actually spent most of the time laughing/ cringing at ourselves over all the silly puns we came up with!Read more...

Have you decided what welcome drinks you're going to serve at your wedding yet? Something lovely and fizzy or maybe you're opting for a signature cocktail? Well, how about doing both?! A few weeks ago my friends Ronnie and Sophie came over, so I thought we'd have some fun and throw a mini cocktail party. We used Freixenet Spanish Cava which is not only inexpensive, but totally delicious and dangerously easy to drink!Read more...

I've known wedding planner Kirstin Halstead for quite a few years. We first met at a very fancy industry event, where we both felt like fish out of water and spent nearly the entire night side by side trying not to make eye contact with anybody! I liked her the moment we met. She's warm, she's friendly and she has a wicked sense of humour. In fact some of you will know Kirstin too. I featured her own adorable Nashville elopement just a few months ago!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...

You've heard me say it a thousand times, but your wedding day is probably the fastest moving day of your life. One minute you're nervously slipping on your dress, and the next you're collapsing into your marital bed, exhausted.Read more...
