Enter a Magical Shoe Heaven Wonderland: Irregular Choice on Carnaby Street

Kat

November 25, 2017

"There's a magical place, we're on our way there With shoes in their millions all under one roof..." Seriously, Irregular Choice should totally steal the Toys 'R Us theme tune because never has anything more accurate been written about how I felt walking into their flagship store. Last week I was invited by their head office to go visit the Carnaby Street shop and pick out some pretties to take home with me! Well, they didn't have to ask me twice.

The guest list/ invitation/ RSVP process is arguably one of the most stress-inducing parts of planning a wedding. Whether its the costs involved, the general logistics or the fact that people seem incapable of RSVPing on time... its enough to turn the coolest cucumber of a bride into a raging monster.

Five Regrets You’ll Have If You Don’t Have a Gift List

If you're one of the growing number of couples that opt not to have a wedding gift list, did you know you'll actually be missing out on more than just the 'stuff'? I suspect most people that don't have them either think they already have everything they need or they don't want to appear 'rude'. Now I don't like to be a Negative Nancy, or the voice of impending doom, but I do think that if you forgo a gift list you will regret it. Here's why:

Picking a wedding band that you know you're going to love can be tricky. While all the experts recommend you do as much research as possible and try to go see your potential band play before you book them, we all know that's not always practical for a busy bride and/ or groom-to-be!

If there's one thing that makes a wedding go off more than anything else, its the right music. Hiring a killer band or fantastic DJ is a great idea, but if the entertainment budget is tight then a DIY playlist is the definitely the way to go! I'm sure many of you reading this are already planning to do that in fact which is why I'm thrilled to introduce you to My Wedding Songs today. Their aim is to make the job of compiling your perfect wedding playlist much easier - and it's totally free to use!

Eternal Beauty from the Inside Out AKA How I Transformed my Bleach Damaged Hair

Kat

November 3, 2017

Around five years ago, after way too much abuse from DIY bleaching, my hair was in a bad place. It was dry and brittle and wouldn’t grow past my shoulders before breaking off. Naturally, my hairdresser wasn’t impressed and helped me to see the damage I was doing to it through over-bleaching. If you’re partial to a splash of unnatural colour in your hair the chances are you can totally relate to this problem.

The Life Changing Power of Amazing Eyebrows: Getting Microbladed by Sian Dellar

Kat

November 1, 2017

By now you've probably already heard of, or even considered, having your eyebrows microbladed. A few of my friends have had it done and always raved about it, but I'd honestly never really considered it for myself. I've always been pretty proud of my brows. Thankfully, I managed to swerve the over-plucked trend of the late 90s (due mostly to laziness than anything else!) so I didn't think I really need it done. However when I was invited by Sian Dellar to try it out, I thought it would be a really interesting experiment.

October 25, 2017

You only need to do a quick Google search to realise that personalised gifts are 'the thing' right now, and with good reason. When it comes finding those one-of-a-kind items for your loved ones, there really is nothing more special than creating something that shows that you've thought about them specifically and picked something that they'll really love. But it can be difficult to get it just right. Here's my top tips for creating a memorable and special personalised gift.

Rock n Renovation: Out With the Old, In With the New

Kat

October 1, 2017

There's something about moving into a new home that makes you want to finally replace those things you own that have really had their day. You might have made do with the slightly past it sofa in your old house, but there's nothing like a brand new setting to make you realise how desperately it needs updating. Since moving in we have updated no less than three major things: Our saucepans (which we'd got as a wedding present nearly 10 years ago - definitely time to go!), my chest of drawers (my old, secondhand one really didn't suit my very exacting plan for my office - ha!) and most recently, our mattress.

Whether you think you want to wear one or not, I think every bride should try on at least one wedding veil. Like nothing else, veils have the power to completely transform your entire wedding day look and whatever kind of dress you've picked, you can totally rock one.

Luckily, today we've partnered with Britten, experts in the field, who are here to demystify everything veil-related for us!

Design the Alternative Wedding Ring You’ve Always Wanted with CustomMade

Kat

May 3, 2017

I don't know about you, but looking for a truly unique engagement or wedding ring can be an almost impossible task. While there are plenty of awesome companies that do more alternative style rings and jewellery, getting something that loads of other alternative brides won't have found too can be pretty tricky. Of course you can always go the vintage route, but what if you want something a bit more Rock n Roll than that?

Why You Should Have a Gift List (Even if you Already Live Together)

Kat

April 12, 2017

For many couples, the idea of creating a wedding gift list probably feels a bit awkward... like you're expecting your guests to buy you something. Believe me, I know the feeling. It was my birthday last week and I felt so awkward about the whole "So what do you want for your birthday?" question that I just told everyone the same thing and ended up with three Jo Malone Oud and Bergamot candles. Not that that's really a problem mind, it smells freaking amazing.
