With people living busier lives than ever, sending a Save the Date for your wedding is pretty much essential.

While you could just send an email or a text, sending something in the post is a great way to kick off the pre-wedding crafting or to start to think about your theme. Here are some questions you might have before you send yours.

There is something so special about DIY weddings. Even if the final results aren't as perfect as they might be if the couple had booked a professional, to me, DIY weddings are always way more amazing because of those extra personal touches.

Bridesmaid’s in Black; Classy & Elegant or Funereal?

Kat

June 17, 2015

When we got married (yes that is me in this photo, I can't hardly recognise myself either!) I wanted my girls in black. They all wore a dress of their choosing but I thought monochrome would look classy and elegant, plus it suits everyone. I distinctly remember my mother being concerned that it would make the wedding "look like a funeral" but on the day she changed her mind, they all looked so beautiful!

Obviously budget has a lot to do with it, but as someone who didn't have a wedding film and regrets it, here are four reasons why I really think you should book one!

There’s nothing more exciting than planning your wedding, whether you go for a large lavish affair or a more understated, personal day, there is always plenty to think about and arrange!

Have you decided what welcome drinks you're going to serve at your wedding yet? Something lovely and fizzy or maybe you're opting for a signature cocktail? Well, how about doing both?! A few weeks ago my friends Ronnie and Sophie came over, so I thought we'd have some fun and throw a mini cocktail party.
