You only need to do a quick Google search to realise that personalised gifts are 'the thing' right now, and with good reason. When it comes finding those one-of-a-kind items for your loved ones, there really is nothing more special than creating something that shows that you've thought about them specifically and picked something that they'll really love. But it can be difficult to get it just right. Here's my top tips for creating a memorable and special personalised gift.

Rock n Renovation: Out With the Old, In With the New

October 1, 2017

There's something about moving into a new home that makes you want to finally replace those things you own that have really had their day. You might have made do with the slightly past it sofa in your old house, but there's nothing like a brand new setting to make you realise how desperately it needs updating. Since moving in we have updated no less than three major things: Our saucepans (which we'd got as a wedding present nearly 10 years ago - definitely time to go!), my chest of drawers (my old, secondhand one really didn't suit my very exacting plan for my office - ha!) and most recently, our mattress.

Whether you think you want to wear one or not, I think every bride should try on at least one wedding veil. Like nothing else, veils have the power to completely transform your entire wedding day look and whatever kind of dress you've picked, you can totally rock one. However there are so many different types of veils available that it can be a bit confusing and rather daunting when you start looking for one. Luckily, today we've partnered with Britten, experts in the field, who are here to demystify everything veil-related for us!

I don't know about you, but looking for a truly unique engagement or wedding ring can be an almost impossible task. While there are plenty of awesome companies that do more alternative style rings and jewellery, getting something that loads of other alternative brides won't have found too can be pretty tricky. Of course you can always go the vintage route, but what if you want something a bit more Rock n Roll than that?

Preparing for one of the biggest days of your life can be as testing as it can be exciting, what with the multitude of things to think about. If you’re not organising the venue, you’re dreaming up your wedding invitations.

Why You Should Have a Gift List (Even if you Already Live Together)

Kat

April 12, 2017

For many couples, the idea of creating a wedding gift list probably feels a bit awkward... like you're expecting your guests to buy you something. Believe me, I know the feeling. It was my birthday last week and I felt so awkward about the whole "So what do you want for your birthday?" question that I just told everyone the same thing and ended up with three Jo Malone Oud and Bergamot candles. Not that that's really a problem mind, it smells freaking amazing.

When my sister got engaged, and she and her now-husband started considering gift lists, I immediately told her to check out Prezola. Like many soon-to-be-married couples, they not only already lived together and so had many of the traditional wedding gifts already covered, but because they wanted flexibility with what they could add to their registry. Today I sat down with Rachel to talk to her about how she found the wedding planning and Prezola experience.
