Rock n Renovation: The Sink Saga

Kat

December 10, 2017

I hadn't planned on talking about our bathrooms for a while. Although they both definitely need replacing at some point (the downstairs on is a delightful shade of avocado) they are were perfectly functional, and actually in much better shape than the one in our own place, despite their age. That was, until this week when I dropped a glass bottle in the sink in the upstairs bathroom and shattered the thing... No, not the tiny glass bottle of Primark room spray, THE ACTUAL FUCKING SINK. Ughhh, how is that even possible?

Nautical & Retro Wedding in Canada

Maddie Mills

December 7, 2017

Sarah and Drew wanted their wedding to really showcase where they grew up (and hosted their wedding): Newfoundland and Labrador. Although they had been living in Alberta for a number of years, they wanted their wedding to reflect their love of the most easterly province of Canada. “We had been living in Alberta for a number of years, and wanted our wedding to reflect our East Coast roots, so we included elements that evoked the island everywhere we could, "said Sarah. “The aisle was lined with rubber boots, we used a lobster trap as a card holder and the reception tables were named after Newfoundland communities. The head table was named Heart’s Content.”

"There's a magical place, we're on our way there With shoes in their millions all under one roof..."

Last week I was invited by their head office to go visit the Carnaby Street shop and pick out some pretties to take home with me! Well, they didn't have to ask me twice.

Rock n Renovation: How to Knock Through a Fireplace

November 19, 2017

Renovation pro tip: If you want to get your significant other to step up their DIY game then plan a photo shoot in your building site of a home as a matter of urgency! A few months ago I booked a collaboration with a super cool wedding brand (more on this soon!) and had the idea to shoot some of their products in our house. At the time I figured that surely by November the rooms we wanted to shoot in would almost be finished… or could at least be passable for the purposes of some staged shots.

Five Regrets You’ll Have If You Don’t Have a Gift List

Kat

November 17, 2017

If you're one of the growing number of couples that opt not to have a wedding gift list, did you know you'll actually be missing out on more than just the 'stuff'? I suspect most people that don't have them either think they already have everything they need or they don't want to appear 'rude'. Now I don't like to be a Negative Nancy, or the voice of impending doom, but I do think that if you forgo a gift list you will regret it. Here's why:

Picking a wedding band that you know you're going to love can be tricky. While all the experts recommend you do as much research as possible and try to go see your potential band play before you book them, we all know that's not always practical for a busy bride and/ or groom-to-be!

Gothic Victorian Decadence

Sorcha and John met when the bride was doing doing drinks promotions at a rock and metal bar in Dublin. "I noticed this 6 ft 7 gothic man with long black hair", she said. "He was hard to miss! He approached me and then drank a bunch of the test tube shots that I had, which had lots of caffeine in them. I found out afterwards that he’s allergic to caffeine and was violently ill afterwards! A few months later, our paths crossed again in the same bar. We got a chance to talk properly and realised we had everything in common. He asked me out to dinner and our gothic romance took flight."
