Your Wedding Photos Are Gathering Dust on Your Hard Drive, Here’s How to Fix It

We got married back in 2022. And, slightly embarrassingly for someone who runs a photo book company, I only made our wedding album last year. Not because I didn’t care about the photos, quite the opposite in fact. They were some of the best photos we’d ever had taken.

By now you’ve probably already heard the story about how and why diamonds became the go-to stone for engagement rings. But just in case you haven’t, the answer is marketing! Before the mid-20th century, diamond engagement rings were not the universal tradition they are today. In fact, many people proposed with other gemstones or family heirlooms.

Prague Stag & Hen Parties for People Who Don’t Want the Clichés (Hidden Gems Edition)

When you hear “Prague stag do” you’re probably picturing all the clichés: Matching T-shirts, plastic pint glasses, and a loose schedule that really just revolves around getting as drunk and disorderly as possible. You can do that if you want, but Prague has a whole other side that makes way more sense if your group leans more alternative, creative or you don’t just want to be herded between bars all weekend. If you’re planning a Prague stag or hen weekend and want something that actually feels like you, this is where it gets interesting.

A cheap wedding and a bad wedding are not the same thing. Some of the most joyful, memorable weddings cost very little money, and some of the most expensive weddings feel like a corporate conference with flowers. The difference is rarely the budget. It’s how couples choose to spend it. If you’re planning a wedding without a huge budget, your goal probably isn’t to make everything as cheap as possible. It’s to spend money where it matters and skip the things nobody really notices anyway. Here are some genuinely cheap wedding ideas that still feel thoughtful, fun and completely intentional.

I’m like a wild stallion,” I hear myself say. “Frolicking through the forest.” I’m sitting in a sports bar. I’m 30 years old. I know nothing about horses. “And then one day a fence is built around the forest. And even if it were the biggest fence ever, and it was so big I would never even reach it to see it in person, I would still know it was there.” This is how I explained my aversion to marriage a decade ago, to the person I professed to love, who I’d been dating for four, and then five years. I would be trapped; the part I left unsaid.

Let’s face it, gaming is a key part of many get-togethers these days. While it isn’t necessarily everyone’s cup of tea, we’ve all been at parties where a console machine is being explored in the corner of a room. For gaming-mad couples, when it comes to planning their wedding, adding a gaming setup for the big reception is an option.

For years, boho wedding dresses were the answer for nearlyweds who didn't see themselves in traditional bridal. They offered freedom from stiff silhouettes, heavy fabrics, and the feeling of dressing like someone else on your own wedding day.

Planning a wedding often feels like herding kittens. You send out beautiful paper invites, cross your fingers, and hope people actually show up. But hoping isn't going to help you sleep at night. A wedding website is the central hub that turns "maaaaaaybe" into "yes!". It gives your guests all the details they need to feel comfortable and excited about attending your wedding. Using a great wedding website template also makes it so easy to build a site that looks amazing and works perfectly - no advanced technical know how required!

Seven Creative Date Night Ideas for Engaged Couples

February 15, 2026

You've scrolled Pinterest until your eyes glazed over. You've argued about chair rentals. You've said "I don't know, what do you think?" approximately forty-seven times this week. Wedding planning burnout is real, and it doesn't mean you're ungrateful or bad at this. It means you're human, drowning in decisions that somehow all feel urgent and none of them feel like you anymore.

Cleaning & Preserving Your Wedding Dress

Guest Contributor

February 9, 2026

After the wedding, a lot of dresses are shoved into the back of a cupboard without so much as a second thought. Whether you want to sell it, save it for your children, or even have it reworked to wear again, its really important to get it cleaned first. Even if it looks pretty clean, it probably isn’t. Sweat, sugar, alcohol, make-up, and dirt don’t always show up straight away, but they can cause discolouration and fabric damage over time. Times this by a thousand if your dress is white or ivory.

Wedding menswear has a serious image problem. If you want anything beyond a navy, grey or maybe - shock horror - burgundy (!) suit, the options are extremely limited. Most mainstream wedding inspiration assumes men are happy to blend into the background, play it safe, and call it a day. Retailers push the same silhouettes on repeat, and tailoring can feel intimidating if you don’t already speak the language.

A wedding is a day full of emotions and expectations, both for the couple as well as their guests. A somewhat unfortunate side effect is that everyone will have an opinion. Couples will often find their choices in regards to how they’d like to celebrate this day scrutinised. And one such choice invites even more scrutiny: when they choose to have a child-free wedding. Reactions to this decision can be tricky to navigate, as they combine the emotions surrounding weddings with protectiveness and fear of exclusion.

Choosing an engagement ring sounds romantic in theory, but in reality, it can be quite stressful if you don't know what your significant other really wants. While some people have been saving ring inspiration for years and can tell you exactly what they want down to the millimetre, others may have have never thought about it, don't wear jewellery regularly, or actively reject traditional engagement ring styles altogether.

A wedding without alcohol is like fish without chips. Or is it? Many couples are rethinking the culture of boozy weddings, and for good reason. More and more wedding guests are swapping their wines for cokes, whether they’re tee-totalers, Dry January participators who never went back, or simply casual drinkers who would rather avoid the headache the next day.

Diamonds tend to arrive in our lives loaded with meaning. Engagements, anniversaries, milestones, moments you want to mark properly. But once you start shopping, the conversation often turns into numbers, grades, and price brackets. What gets lost is how a diamond actually looks and feels when you wear it.

Luxury is a bit of a buzzword in bridal. Brands love to slap it on their website and Instagram bio and think that means they can charge above the odds. But real luxury doesn’t shout about why it’s the best. It’s in the experience and the undefinable reason why something feels extra special.
