Planning your honeymoon can be just as difficult as planning the wedding itself, but it's also got to be up there with one of the best parts of the whole thing too. Kicking back and relaxing after a year or so of intense preparation is going to be pretty blissful, but how do you make sure you get your choice of honeymoon destination right?Read more...

Peacocks were the inspiration for Steph and Jo's army barracks wedding. Their favourite colours are green and purple so it worked out perfectly! They used peacock feathers throughout their wedding - on the cupcakes, as the centrepieces and as motifs on the stationery.Read more...

Ben and Irene were married at Pietersburg High School, in Polokwane, South Africa. The ceremony was held on the front lawn and the reception in the gym. "Our wedding was described to me by one of my friends as one of the most 'sharing' he has ever seen. Meaning that the theme was us, as well as our friends and family", began the groom. "Everything there was something we loved, or something that meant something to ourselves or our guests, and in most cases both."Read more...

Keith and Celeste had a whimsical and nature themed wedding and so their venue, River Legacy Science Center in Arlington, Texas, was the perfect place for them. "Keith and I both find our time in nature to be healing and spiritual", explained the bride. "I love fairies and magical mystery and Keith wanted minimalist elegance so we combined the two for our theme. We truly bring balance to each other and our wedding reflects how our powers combine to create awesome beauty. "Read more...

I had to give myself a bit of a talking to this week. I've been ignoring how I've been treating my body for months now. You see, I have a love/ hate relationship with it. I love making a stand against the media bullshit about weight loss, body image, body shaming (whatever size you are) and all those disgusting advertisements for unhealthy weight loss methods. But at the same time I've been lying... to myself.Read more...

Adriene and Shannon wanted an informal wedding so they held their ceremony at Aids Memorial Grove in the Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. It was followed by a picnic reception in the park. One of the most unique and awesome parts of their wedding was the bride's ombre wedding dress, which she made herself by upcycling two second-hand dresses and making them into one!Read more...

I have long preached about the virtues of using email templates. Although I'd love to be able to reply to every email I get personally, when you get upwards of 200 of them a day like I do, it's simply not practical or possible. Email templates are a life saver. They will free you from the shackles of your inbox and enable you to reply to messages more efficiently and with less guilt. Of course not every single email you receive can be replied to with a template, but having a stock of them in your arsenal will make your email-life a whole lot easier.Read more...

Annie and Evgeniy were married in October in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. They were determined not to spend a lot of money and managed to pull the whole thing off for just $2500. To do this they kept the guest list small (they only had 20 people), DIYed a lot and eliminated a lot of things that they didn't care about.Read more...

It's not often that I feature styled wedding shoots these days, quite simply because I have so many incredible real weddings to share with you! However when photographer Gary of Marshal Gray sent over this 'three brides' editorial that he shot at Belt Craft Studios, I had to bend my rule. I love the style of this session, especially how odd and slightly creepy it all is. This is certainly not something I see very often in wedding photography.Read more...

When wedding photographer Michael of My Beautiful Bride told me that Craig and Melanie were one of his most adventurous couples yet, I took it with a pinch of salt. But then I saw their wedding day portraits where they got into a bath of water - fully clothed - with their dog! Not that's something you don't see everyday. If, like Melanie, you're not bothered about keeping your wedding dress pristine, you totally need to do something like this. How fun!Read more...

The wedding took place on Sunday 20th and was held at New Hall Hotel and Spa in Birmingham.Read more...

I've written about and published the work of Mick Shah of Miki Photography on numerous occasions because, quite frankly, he's awesome. He is one of those wedding photographers that I'm yet to meet in person (it's surely only a matter of time) but I really feel like I know him because we email incessantly!Read more...
