My favourite kinds of articles to publish are the ones where I can give some really practice wedding planning advice. It was the kind of content I really craved when I was organising our own wedding because wedding magazines didn't ever seem to delve any deeper than "How to choose the right wedding dress for your shape" and "10 things he does that proves he really loves you" (give me strength!)Read more...

Hi Kat My best friend is getting married really soon and I'm a bridesmaid. She has asked me to dye my hair dark brown or black, and to lose 10kgs for the wedding. Now I know that may not seem like a big deal but since leaving high school I have always channelled my personality into my hair. I've had pink hair for the last five years and switch it up occasionally with purple, blue, or green. I really don't want to have my hair coloured darker as its such a pain in the ass to go through the whole bleaching process again. Am I being over sensitive? Or is the bride's word the law? As for the weight loss I understand she wants me to look thin in the pictures, but I like the weight and body shape I have now. I feel like if she knew me and loved me she'd accept the way I look and the way I am. This is seriously stressing me out and making me quite depressed. Any advice?Read more...

Let's not beat around the bush: Weddings are bloody expensive. There's so much to think about and so many things to pay for, who can blame a girl for wanting to save every penny possible? There are a myriad of ways to plan a wedding at a pinch, but what if you've got your heart set on something in particular that doesn't fit in with your very strict budget? Is it ever OK to ask for a discount and if you do will those suppliers get mortally offended?Read more...

I was chatting to my newly engaged sister last week who told me there was no way in hell she'd be doing a first dance and that come to think of it, walking down the aisle seemed mortifying and silly too. "But you have to walk in somehow," I replied, "you can't just 'poof!' and appear at the end of the aisle!"Read more...

Don't get me wrong, a wedding is undoubtedly a very important day, but it is not your one shot at happiness or your singular life defining moment. By that I mean, even if the day was a complete disaster and everything that could go wrong did, the actual act of getting married is just one little flash in a life full of potentially joyful occasions!Read more...

If you've been reading my blog (or following me on Instagram!) for a while you'll probably have already heard of Gala Darling. Not only is she one of my best friends, but I've been raving about her, and her message of Radical Self Love, for quite some time! I first discovered her blog in early 2009 (check out my adorable fangirling) but it wasn't until happenstance enabled us to meet IRL a few years later that I knew we were kindred spirits. There are just some people you meet who instantly light up your life and make the world seem like a more positive, happier place. Gala does this for me every single day and I'm so honoured to call her my friend.Read more...

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...
