Sparkly, DIY-Heavy Brixon Warehouse Wedding

Nat and Drew's Brixton wedding was pretty, sparkly, but most of all a celebration for them and their friends and family. "Our inspiration was us", the bride said. "We planned the kind of party we wanted to go to. We chose London because it’s where we have made our home together, but we wanted to put our hearts into it and it just sort of evolved that way. The day was for us, and if we were happy then everyone else would be too."

Mark and Lara were married on a ranch in Montana. They wanted their wedding to have a 'dark carnival' theme. "We both live in Los Angeles but I grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Montana", the bride explained. "We decided to have it in Montana not only to give have it in a place we both loved and connected with but so that our Los Angeles friends would have an opportunity to have a mountain adventure."

I’m a Bridesmaid & I’ve Been Asked to Dye My Hair & Lose Weight For the Wedding…

Rhapsody Road

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?

Love and Lavender

Lauren and Mike spent just £2500 on their gorgeous wedding. They were inspired by two things - the movies and lavender. "We had lots of references to the movies", the bride said. "We are both massive film geeks and we couldn't not have that represented on our big day. We had little hints scattered all over the place, including our Star Wars photo booth, movie quotes and movie poster illustrations around the venue, marvel confetti cones, and Mendl's boxes for wedding favours from The Grand Budapest Hotel."

Marrakech: The Good, the Bad and the Very, Very Ugly

Kat

November 24, 2015

Ahh Marrakech. When I left in June, after a whirlwind two days with Gala and Shauna, I knew that one day I’d be back. I just didn’t realise it would be QUITE so soon. But when my sister Rachel and I were discussing her wedding décor plans recently, a quick trip over to the rainbow lined streets of the former imperial city to buy things for the wedding seemed like a perfectly logical way to spend a long weekend.
