I was walking around Brighton with my sister a few months ago when we spotted two oversized deckchairs that had been set up to promote an event. We decided to stop, hop on and take a quick photo and let me tell you we weren't the only ones! There was a queue round the block of people waiting to do exactly the same thing. Who knew they'd be such a photo op hit? Well the guys at The Prop Factory clearly do because they've just launched giantdeckchairs.com, specifically for weddings!Read more...

Organising hen and stag parties is getting harder and harder. Is it just me or do they all seemed to be way bigger and more complicated than they used to be? When I got hitched we just went for a night out in London, these days most hen dos seem to span over an entire weekend with multiple activities planned, and so many stag dos involve hopping on a plane!Read more...

When you decide to book a holiday, what's the first thing you do? You probably figure out if you want to go lie on a beach, explore a new city or throw yourselves wholeheartedly into some kind of action/ adventure sports trip. Next, you might want to know how the weather is at the time of year you plan to travel. Then you'll probably look up what the local food is like, research the must-sees and investigate all the popular sites to see if they sound like something you'd enjoy...Read more...

Palm tree dinnerware When it comes to choosing things for your wedding gift list, I think adding your own personality to the proceedings is the way to go. I mean, sure, you could order a silver kettle and a set of white dinner plates, but why not have a little fun with it? When The Wedding Shop got in touch to ask if I'd like to curate some of my favourite items from their website, I jumped at the chance to do some fantasy shopping. Hum, I feel like I might need the pink palm tree dinnerware in my life for real though.Read more...

A few weeks ago I was invited by wedding dress designer Caroline Arthur to attend her Perfect Fit Event at the picturesque Gate Street Barn near Guildford. The day was put on, not just to promote the amazing suppliers involved, but to share information to help educate brides about how to get the right fit for their wedding dress. This is something Caroline is super passionate about so it was so inspiring to see her in action. I learnt so much too!Read more...

With the release of the new movie, Alice in Wonderland is a huge trend in weddings right now. The ‘eat me’ labels, playing cards and white rabbits are enough to transport you to Wonderland. Add in a few flamingos and mad hats and I'm sold.Read more...

Today I wanted to do something I have't done for many years, to introduce you to a quirky new wedding supplier, but in the form of an interview. It was really fun to revisit this format of blogging and to pretend like I was a legit interviewer for a moment there! Be sure to read to the end of the article too to find out how you can win the headband featured above in your choice of colours! We all know I am obsessed with headwear, the crazier and more colourful the better, so I think it'll come as no surprise that today I'm chatting to someone who makes wool pom poms and turns them into gorgeous things to wear! Introducing Jess of the fabulously named Fat Pom Poms...Read more...
