It's come around so damn quickly but today I'm off to see "the book" (I'm sooo The Devil Wears Prada right now) and to sign off issue 2 of the magazine today! I have to say, I think this second edition might be even better than the first. I had to write and pull together issue 1 really quickly, so having a bit more time to really make things perfect was such a treat!Read more...

When Anthropologie announced the were introducing their own wedding dress line, BHLDN, in 2011, I looked enviously over at my American friends who were able to buy them. The dresses were everything the UK wedding dress market was missing - super feminine and delicate heirloom-quality wedding gowns with an elegant and modern twist. Some of the most incredible and sought-after designers were creating collections for the brand too including Catherine Deane, Vantana Watters, Tadashi Shoji, Badgley Mischka and Nicole MillerRead more...

Jana and Denis were married in 2006, just two months after meeting. With the bride being Brazilian and the groom American, there were lots of complications post-wedding. When it was all finally sorted out they travelled to Chile to renew their vows, just the two of them.Read more...

A power cut the morning of the wedding might be most couple's worst nightmare, but Tyler and Jodi embraced it! The wedding was held at a private beach house in Malibu and the lack of power actually made their wedding even more special. Sure, they they had to get a bit creative with some aspects, such as the bride having to air-dry her hair, serving a BBQ for the meal and having no entertainment or music, but it really worked out so well! They even had candles and sparklers at the table which looked amazing!Read more...

Patty and Dani were married on their 13th anniversary at Château de la Grande Riedera in Switzerland. "The Inspiration for our wedding was to spend a relaxed day with our family and friends, where everyone would feel comfortable", Patty began. "The original plan was a quiet BBQ somewhere close to a lake, but that seemed to be a very difficult task. Somehow the venue, budget and date never fit together. As that didn't work out, we looked for something different and found the Chateau de la Grande Riedera, which was perfect. We loved that all parts of the wedding could take place at the same location, which made it a very relaxed atmosphere. It also allowed us to organise the caterer we wanted to have which brought us back at least parts of the BBQ idea."Read more...

It's no secret that I am obsessed with flower crowns. I don't know exactly how many I own, but it's definitely in double figures. If you're the kind of bride that doesn't want to wear a veil or tiara, why not consider one of these beauties?Read more...

With the surname 'Button', Lauren and Nick had to have some cute button details in their October wedding! The day took place in Hackney, East London, where they live. "The inspiration for our wedding was our location", wrote the bride. "We started with an idea for a traditional East End wedding, a church service followed by a ‘knees-up’ in a local boozer. Nick’s parents got married in the same church in Haggerston so that was really special. All of our other ideas started to form around this really."Read more...

In a world saturated with wedding fairs it can be hard to know which one is right for you. There are even now a whole new breed of ‘unique’ wedding shows, from alternative to vintage and everything in between, making the choice of which one to visit extra confusing! Being dubbed the bridal event for hipsters, A Most Curious Wedding Fair is hitting Norwich this Sunday and London on 7-8 March, but what exactly is a hipster wedding fair? This is just a bit of fun, of course, but here is the ten most important things you should check to make sure you're in the right place!Read more...

When TV presenter Layla Anna-Lee married Richard, they both knew they wanted to do something different. They wanted their wedding to feel like them, to be easygoing and fuss-free. They had their ceremony at Artington House and their reception was afternoon tea at home with just their closest friends and family.Read more...

Another month has come and gone and we're now heading head-first into February. January was a particularly epic month for me with the launch of the print magazine and The Blogcademy Online!! While tooting my own horn might be terribly embarrassing, I do have to say that I am so incredibly proud of how both these ventures have been received. I've worked my little bloggy butt off over the past few months on them both, and so seeing the amazing reaction from you all about them is quite amazing!Read more...

As a wedding blogger, being submitted a wedding described as a "dino glitter explosion" is a red letter day. Rob and Lucy's Derby wedding might have just leapt up to being one of my all time favourites ever! They were legally married in a registry office but had an emotional and beautiful blessing at their reception at Shardlow Village Hall.Read more...

Ali and Gem are both into the arts, so having their wedding at the groom's place of work, The Royal Shakespeare Theatre was the perfect choice! They wanted a wedding that reflected both of them and avoided tradition and trends at all costs! The groom actually sent me the most amazing email while they were planning their wedding (which I couldn't help but share!) so it really is a thrill to see how their wedding turned out!Read more...

I try not to be biased, but sometimes I just can't help but fall extra in love with a couple and their story. I've actually met Kirstin a few times (and she's a blogcadette - holla!) so when she told me she's met and married Ash within nine months (!) and that her mum and his dad were also married to each other, I couldn't wait to share their story!Read more...

At the last Blogcademy class of 2014 in Auckland, we were lucky enough to have Josie of Wink helping us decorated the space. I loved her creations so much that I asked her if she'd do some DIY tutorials for the blog and print magazine over the coming months. Luckily she agreed! I think this Polaroid banner idea is super adorable and would be amazing to hang at your wedding reception. Over to you Josie!Read more...
