Thursday Treats: Hit the Road (Jack)

Kat

May 1, 2014

The time has finally come for me to pack my bags and hit the road for the first leg of our 2014 Blogcademy world tour! I AM SO EXCITED (can you tell?!) to see my besties again, but most of all to meet 60 new Blogcadettes and teach them about my all time favourite subject - blogging! (As a little side note, I get SO PROUD and excited to see what our workshop attendees do after they leave the classroom. Lucy, who came to London last year, just quit her day job to run her business full time. YAY!!)

Honeymoon Travel Guide: Barcelona or Bust!

Kat

April 30, 2014

I wouldn't say Gareth and I were particularly impulsive. My diary is usually pretty booked solid these days, and in the rare times when it's not I spend most of my time glued to my computer screen, trying my hardest to power through my ever expanding 'to do' list. Gareth has also never, ever surprised me with a holiday before so its not something I'd ever expect him to do.

You Will Be Judged (Or You Will Be Ignored)

Made U Look

April 29, 2014

It's a short but sweet one for you today because I really just want to ask you a question. Seth Godin once said "You will be judged (or you will be ignored)."

Playful, Glittery & Kawaii Wedding at the Madonna Inn: Suzi & Spencer

Kat

Anna Delores

April 29, 2014

Suzi and Spencer's Madonna Inn wedding was inspired by all the things they love, "Persian-American mod-podged in glitter and influenced by kawaii" was how they described it to me! A lot of things they made themselves included the glittery table numbers and escort cards and the brooch flowers used in with the real flowers in the bouquets and centrepieces!

Goth Club Dia de Los Muertos Wedding: Lauren & Ralf

Kat

Vivian Lin

April 28, 2014

Lauren and Ralf had a Dia de Los Muertos themed wedding in a goth club. Both the bride and groom even wore face paint! "Our wedding was unique not only because of the theme, location and decorations, but because we went with a mixed wedding party. I did not have a maid-of-honor; I had a man-of-honor. Ralf had a best man and a groomswoman. Also, due to the small size of our wedding party, we all go ready together in the same space at our venue. I'm not superstitious, so it didn't matter to me if I was seen in my dress before walking down the aisle. But getting ready together made things all the more fun."

On Wedding Trends

Kat

Janneke Storm

April 28, 2014

One of the questions I hate the most, but I'm inevitably always asked whenever I'm interviewed, is "What are the big wedding trends for this season?" It seems to be the thing everyone wants to know about, but for me, it's the one aspect of wedding planning that I'm least concerned about. In fact the whole notion of it kinda bothers me.

Rockstar Wedding At The Duce in Phoenix: Adam & Meghan

Kat

Tony Gambino

April 28, 2014

Adam and Meghan wanted to find a suitably Rock n Roll venue for their alternative wedding in Pheonix. After a long search they eventually came across The Duce which ticked all their boxes! "We wanted the wedding to let us shine through", began the bride. "We didn't want a particular theme. When we were looking at wedding venues, we wanted something that was already us. In Phoenix, there are tons of country clubs and botanical gardens. But none of that really fit who Adam and I are. It was to the point that it was bumming us out that we weren't able to find something in our budget that fit us. We had heard about The Duce through a friend, so we went to check it out."

Industrial, Natural and Cat Themed Wedding: Jessica & Joseph

Kat

Hart and Sol Photo

April 27, 2014

When Jessica tagged me on Instagram in a photo of her rocking her Liberace kitty ears on her wedding day, I genuinely couldn't wait to see the rest... and when she then told me the wedding had a subtle cat theme I was even more excited!

Red, Black & White 1950s Rock n Roll Wedding: Lidia & Joaquín

Kat

Dani Alda

April 26, 2014

I don't think there's a style of wedding that epitomises a Rock n Roll wedding more than a black, white and red colour scheme and a 1950s theme! Lidia and Joaquín's nuptials were held in La Quinta de Illescas, Toledo, Spain.

Casual Maryland Camp Site Wedding: Rachael & Rob

Kat

Love Me Do

April 25, 2014

Rachael and Rob wanted to get away from the city for their wedding. So they rented a camp ground, just outside of Philadelphia where they could say "I do" and stay all weekend with their friends and family.

Urban and Romantic Wedding Inspiration

April 25, 2014

Who says gritty and urban can't also be pretty and colourful?! Not this girl! Which is why I completely love this rainbow-hued shoot sent over by LeeYen of Loblee Photography. Shot in Salt Lake City, these dreamy images have really brightened my morning!

Thursday Treats: Shooting Up a Storm!

Kat

April 24, 2014

This week started with an Easter egg hunt around my parent's back garden. Yes, my sisters and I might be 26, 28 and 30 respectively, but that didn't stop us - it all got very competitive! I also did a super fun shoot for Claire's on Tuesday at my house, the results of which I'll be sharing really soon. AND tomorrow I'm heading over to The Big Smoke to shoot up a storm with my buddy Chris Barber. It's all go go go in Rock n Roll Bride land!

Tropical Punk Rock Wedding: Renee & Micky

Kat

Curly Tree

April 24, 2014

Renee and Micky met while backpacking around Australia. They love the beach and so wanted their wedding to reflect that, but alongside the punk rock edge that defines them both. I don't know about you but looking at these glorious pictures from Curly Tree Photography makes me really long for Summer!

Win the £40,000 Wedding of Your Dreams from Confetti.co.uk!

Kat

April 23, 2014

I've heard way too many stories from people who've had to postpone or even cancel getting married simply because they couldn't afford it. That makes me so very sad. Of course the amount you spend has less than zero indication on how awesome your marriage will be, but if you have little or no savings, even a completely budget wedding can be out of the question.

The Best Thing to Ever Happen to Me

Kat

April 22, 2014

Last Thursday I heard the sad news that the shopping channel I used to work for went into administration. Everyone was called up that morning and told not to come into work. They all lost their jobs with immediate effect. Although from the outside looking in it wasn't a massive surprise (there'd be whisperings of it 'being near the end' for years, even before I left in 2011) I was genuinely gutted. Gutted for all my friends who now found themselves unemployed, but also really sad that the place that gave me my first 'proper' job was no more.

Whimsical, Colourful and Vintage Inspired Austin Wedding: Alisha & Marc

Eclectic Images

April 22, 2014

Alisha and Marc were married in Austin, Texas at The Palm Door, a super cool events space in the city. Their day had a whimsical and natural feel, which reflected the two of them perfectly. The reception was also littered with homemade vintage-inspired touches and lots of pops of colour.
