One of the questions I get asked a lot by readers is where to find alternative and/ or affordable wedding dresses. While I'm always thrilled to recommend my favourite independent designers, I'm also aware than splashing upwards of £1000 on a gown is out of the questions for many of you.Read more...

For a while now there seems to have been a bit of a backlash against this hyper digitalised age in which we live. Especially when it comes to weddings. It is no longer unusual for a bride and groom to request that their guests don't spend the entire wedding snapping photos on their phones, or glued to the instantaneous Facebook updates. Asking your guests to not share any photos online is no longer weird, or rude, it's just a personal choice.Read more...

I thought that if I said it out loud, it would force me to actually go through with it. I started this year with one big goal: to write a book. A massive undertaking at the best of times, but with a schedule like mine? Madness. Yet I reasoned that I could definitely get it done. I thrive on being busy.Read more...

Bethan and Rob's wedding was held at The Eden Project in Cornwall. They took their inspiration from the domes themselves and the plants inside, creating a natural themed wedding with geometric accents. "The ceremony and reception were both inside the Mediterranean Biome in the Eden Project", wrote the bride. "Thematically we had nature, geometry (taking inspiration from both the biome’s hexagonal roof structure and plant life) and fun, with a hint of the mystical. We wanted to tap into our friends’ creative talents as much as possible to make it really personal."Read more...

Sharon and Matt's small Belize wedding at Honey Camp Ranch cost them just $5000. They avoided the usual trappings of a traditional wedding, instead choosing to do things their way. That meant everything was either borrowed, donated or homemade. The bride wore a custom wedding dress, made for her by her mother, and no shoes! She made the stationery herself and the flowers and reception decorations were collected from the local area.Read more...

Instagram is - by far - my favourite social media platform. I love to take and share daily snaps and shamelessly stalk others who do the same. It's the one social network that I visit and don't instantly feel like people are just trying to sell me something!Read more...
