When it comes to writing your blog posts, is the title you choose a bit of an afterthought? Something thrown together and shoved up there without a second glance? Have you ever considered if the title you pick makes a difference to how many people actually go on to read the post?Read more...

I'm not really sure if any other words could bring as much joy to me as 'gold', 'neon' and 'unicorn', which is why I pretty much leapt off my chair when I saw them decorating my inbox. Wedding photographer Kris Holland sure does know how to push my buttons! Leilani and Jeremy were married in July. Their ceremony was held outside, in Galena Creek, Reno to be exact, and their DIY reception was in Jeremy's grandparent's back garden.Read more...

When I suggested the idea of doing a Blogcademy in Austin in August Gala and Shauna looked at me like I'd gone totally mad. " You know it will be utterly boiling down there then? It's practically on the Equator!" they replied. "Ahh ya wimps, how hot can it really be?" I responded. Well more fool me because when we stepped off the plane last week and were greeted with 40°C+ temperatures, I'm finally understood what living the sun must feel like.Read more...

Kate and Dan wanted a big celebration for their May wedding, but one that was also relaxed for their guests and a lot of fun. They wanted to involve them in the day as much as possible and not only had their guests bring cakes instead of gifts, which were eaten instead of a traditional wedding cake, but sent everyone a little packets of seeds with their invitations, asking them to grow the flowers and bring them along on the day. The crappy weather in the run up to the wedding meant that a lot of the flowers didn't grow very much but everyone still valiantly brought along their little seedlings to show the couple and to display at the wedding. Don't you just utterly love that idea?!Read more...

This hippy-esque countryside shoot was set up by wedding photographer Camilla Rosa. who really wanted to shoot an emotional set that perfectly reflected the couple in it. Jesse and Charlie live in a hut on the banks of a river with no electricity, sing in a band, home made pretty much everything and only wear charity shop or home made clothes - so her idea was perfect for them!Read more...

The amazingly quirky Chop and Hales held their wedding reception in the bride's parent's back garden. They hired a marquee and decorated it exactly as they wanted. Hales looked ever the perfect Rock n Roll bride with her Mori Lee dress, Iron Fist shoes and Butler and WIlson skull necklace. Her bridesmaid's wore different coloured Vivien of Holloway dresses. I mean, how amazing do they all look?!Read more...

Austin was a short but eventful trip. We may have only been in the city for a few days, with two of them being hauled up in a warehouse space with no windows (it was beautiful though!) teaching The Blogcademy, but we still certainly made the most of our time there. We strolled down South Congress, ate extreme ice creams, walked for miles to get our B balloons filled with helium (in 40ºC heat - fun!) and ate more delicious Mexican food then can be considered healthy (although, PS just say no to queso!)Read more...

Anna and Timmy were married in Brighton. Their ceremony took place in the iconic Royal Pavilion and their reception at The Latest Bar. This budget friendly, DIY wedding was full of unusual and fun details including dinosaurs, zombies and anatomically correct heart cakes!Read more...

If you've been hoping that one day I might blog a real rock star's wedding, then today your wait is finally over. In fact I'm not sure weddings can get more Rock n Roll than this! George and Adam's ceremony was small and intimate, held in Central Park on Cherry Hill and the reception was at The Cutting Room which is owned by Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones.Read more...

The view from Rent Patina's rooftop was incredible. The Manhattan skyline stretched before us looking just as inviting as ever. When ever I arrive in New York, no matter how exhausted I am from the flight, I get a whole new wave of excited energy as soon as I see that view - the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler Building... what's not to love?Read more...

Daisy and Leigh's retro wedding themed came about because they knew they wanted anything but a traditional day. "We decided to go down the retro/ vintage theme, but I also didn't want it to be the typical ‘vintage’ wedding style that is everywhere at the moment!" Daisy wrote. "I also didn't want a traditional sit-down meal so we had afternoon tea complete with cocktails served in teapots. The wedding eventually became about all of the things we love from the 1950s to the 1990s! I wanted our wedding to be really unpretentious and for everyone to have lots of fun."Read more...

Six months after their legal ceremony at Brighton Register Office, Jen and Steve had what they would consider their 'real' wedding. "We wanted a spring weekend of celebration, filled with love, laughter and true meaning", Steve explained. "Having got the 'legal' bit out of the way we could design the entire day around what we really felt important to us, which was to be surrounded by like-minded souls having a relaxed weekend house party with a festival feel, centred around a Humanist ceremony that we wrote specifically for ourselves and witnessed by friends and family."Read more...

It's unusual that I'll split a wedding into two parts, but as Jen and Steve had two very distinctive and very different wedding days I feel it's only fair to give both of them equal air time! Their celebrations kicked off with an intimate legal ceremony at Brighton register office... with an Elvis and Marilyn Monroe impersonators as their only witnesses!Read more...

Jessie and Joby's Nebraska wedding was held at Apothecary Lofts in Downtown Lincoln. Their wedding had a day of the dead theme which some of their older relatives thought was a little morbid but the couple thought was perfect, "but we got into this UNTIL DEATH, right?" Jessie laughed.Read more...

Today I'm off to Austin for the final US Blogcademy of 2013 - can you believe that? We've done a bunch of American dates this year which has been such an adventure, but I am really looking forward to hitting London after this - it'll be nice not to have to get on a plane for once!Read more...

After lying flat in front of a fan for about 20 minutes straight, we were cooled down enough to get back on the pavement for the next set in our lookbook shoot with Rent Patina. When owner Michelle Gala, Shauna and I that they'd grabbed a bunch of disco balls called in some rainbow confetti and balloons and found some vintage silver roller skates lurking in their collection I had high expectations for what we'd see... but nothing prepared me for this. This set up is literally my dream come true, I'm sure you can see why!Read more...
