What could be a better excuse for some Etsy browsing than the most romantic day of the year (allegedly!) being just around the corner? If I'm being totally honest, this is just a ploy to leave some not so subtle hints to Gareth for some cute little gift ideas. I can but try...Read more...

Ahhh! I leave for Palm Springs on Monday and I am SO EXCITED. I don't mean to rub it in or anything but it's currently topping out at 30 degrees over there and I for one can't wait to get my bootie in some sunshine. I wish I was just there to lounge by the pool but there is a slight work element involved, all of which will be revealed in due course (jeez, what a tease).Read more...

Trent and Whittney had an eclectic and elegant wedding, inspired by the bride's obsession with Walt Disney. The bride wore a stunning black gown and her bridesmaids were all in different coloured dresses. Trent and his attendants all wore smart grey. This juxtaposition made for some stunning photographs! They were married at Lemp Grand Hall in St. Louis, Missouri.Read more...

There has been a lot of talk recently from small business owners who are having trouble reaching all of their Facebook fans with their updates. While I'm not planning to get into a debate about why this might be, today I thought I'd share some ways in which you can make sure your posts reach as many of your fans as possible.Read more...

Matt and Kait were married in Nebraska, at Mahoney State Park. They wanted a small wedding that didn't cost a fortune so a BBQ in a public park was the perfect option! The day was laid back, crafty but most of all fun for everyone who was there.Read more...

When I saw Courtney and Cori's wedding for the first time I let out a little squeak of approval. Not only did these guys have a carnival themed wedding at a theme park but the bride used Hello Kitty (my favourite!) throughout her amazing outfit! Her shoes, nails and bouquet (!!) all had Hello Kitty on them. Is this the cutest thing ever or what?Read more...

Rowena and Cain were married in Dingle, Ireland. They only had €7000 to spend but still managed to create a gorgeous and meaningful day with a little imagination and a lot of elbow grease!Read more...

A little while back I discovered this making of documentary about Raiders of the Lost Ark. I studied film at University and one of all time favourite things is to see behind the scenes of movies that I'm obsessed with (random factoid: I actually wrote an essay about the sound used in this film!)Read more...

The beautiful wedding of Anna and Luke took place at Victorian Marriage Registry, Melbourne followed by a casual lunch at Golden Orchids Malaysian Restaurant (where they had their first date!) and an evening reception at North Fitzroy Star. Nothing about this wedding was traditional. The bride wore a non-wedding dress from theoutnet.com, the cakes and desserts were made by their loved ones instead of a wedding cake and instead of an expensive wedding car they either walked or caught taxi's from place to place.Read more...

I don't know about you but I sure am ready for Spring. This freezing cold weather can quite frankly do one. In fact I've pretty much been hibernating this week month and not leaving the centrally heated cocoon that is our house unless absolutely necessary...Read more...

Well this is something I didn't ever think I'd post - a shark themed wedding! I love nothing more than being surprised by the weddings that land in my inbox and Kelly and Jack's was certainly one that did that. The celebration was held at Tybee Island Wedding Chapel. "Our wedding theme was sharks with an explosion of everything we love!" began the bride. "We had bold bright colors with accents from things like mermaids, tattoo imagery, and of course, more sharks!"Read more...

When I was engaged and started looking for wedding shoes I was quite frankly horrified at what was passing as acceptable footwear for brides. Gross, cream, satin monstrosities that cost £500? No thank you very much.Read more...

Super bright orange and blue were the main colours Tyrone and Rozlyn picked for their South African wedding in November. From the groom's trousers to the bridesmaid's dresses and Rozlyn's customised shoes, the day oozed colour and style. After their Anglican church ceremony, their reception was held at Freedom Cafe in Greyville, Durban.Read more...

Last year I attended, spoke at and organised more live events than ever before. While hard work, they are also incredibly rewarding and so much fun to do. I'm thrilled that doing them is such a huge part of my business now. The Blogcademy in particular has changed my life so much! The first live events I hosted were parties for blog readers and people in the wedding industry, I then moved on to doing small afternoon-long, in-person blogging workshops before launching The Blogcademy with Gala and Shauna in 2012. Needless to say I've learnt a lot of lessons about what does and does not work when putting on events.Read more...

There are so many reasons why I love Ariane and Nikki's wedding. The setting, their outfits, the laidback-ness... the whole thing just made me feel happy as I wandered through their gorgeous photos. The day started with a small ceremony at City Hall in Deurne and ended with an epic reception at Mirror Tent in Rijkevorsel, Belgium.Read more...

When it comes to planning your wedding, the venue is usually the first major decision you need to make. Not only is it often the biggest expense, but it is difficult to plan anything else until this is sorted out.Read more...
