Rachel and Steve didn't want to spend a huge amount on their day. They had a £10,000 budget but actually managed to come in way under that! Their biggest savings were the bride's shoes (Primark!), the 'cake' (Krispy Creme doughnuts!) and by doing all the décor themselves.Read more...

Dane and Leslie's ceremony was held in the kitchen of The North Market in Columbus, Ohio. Sounds like a strange place for a ceremony, but it was affordable to hire and they were able to dress it up with their gorgeous DIY backdrop.Read more...

It's that time again. It's the week before I go away on a big Blogcademy trip and I'm trying desperately to write and pre-schedule three week's worth of blog content before I hit the road. Something weird has happened to me this time though. Usually, I chain myself (metaphorically speaking!) to my desk, and bash them out easily. It takes a long time, sure, but I'm a nerd and I usually always get them all done with a few days to spare.Read more...

Laura and Tom were married in Liverpool in September. They wanted a fun-filled wedding that everyone would enjoy. That meant ditching many of the traditions that they didn't like the idea of, and only keeping the parts that they did!Read more...

It's mid- November. If you've been in business a while, you'll already know that this is the time of year where everything in the wedding industry slows down to a glacial pace. Brides and grooms tend to put their wedding planning to one side in favour of all things festive. The enquiries dry up, and that metaphorical tumble weed seems to blow past your website more often than you might be used to.Read more...

I'm not gonna lie, I've been looking forward to featuring Anna and Adam's wedding for a while. Anna is a wedding photographer herself, and I'm a big fan of her work, so I knew her own wedding would be something special. The wedding was 100% DIY. They picked a venue that wasn't specifically for weddings, but meant a great deal for them. They didn't want to spend a lot of money, so did most things as frugally as possible. Their main concern was that the day involved all the special people in their lives. The wedding took place by the sea in Anglesey in May. "We didn't have a wedding theme as such", began Anna, "we just wanted it to be colourful, relaxed, fun, full of laughs, unpretentious, family-focused and very much DIY and personalised to us and the people and things we love. We wanted everyone there to feel special and comfortable and get involved as much as they wanted to. Lots of weddings focus just on the bride and groom, but to us it was also very much a day about our wonderful group of friends and family. We’re both incredibly close to them and it was really important to us to celebrate the fact that we weren't just coming together as a couple, but also as part of a precious larger community."Read more...

As a small business owner utilising visually driven social media platforms such as Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook is undoubtedly important. However I've started to notice a massive decline in the one thing that started it all; blogging. While I used to love reading my favourite business owners blogs, these days more and more of them appear to be neglected. Their owners have abandoned them for the bright lights and instant gratitude of social media.Read more...
