I was chatting to my newly engaged sister last week who told me there was no way in hell she'd be doing a first dance and that come to think of it, walking down the aisle seemed mortifying and silly too. "But you have to walk in somehow," I replied, "you can't just 'poof!' and appear at the end of the aisle!"Read more...

Don't get me wrong, a wedding is undoubtedly a very important day, but it is not your one shot at happiness or your singular life defining moment. By that I mean, even if the day was a complete disaster and everything that could go wrong did, the actual act of getting married is just one little flash in a life full of potentially joyful occasions!Read more...

If you've been reading my blog (or following me on Instagram!) for a while you'll probably have already heard of Gala Darling. Not only is she one of my best friends, but I've been raving about her, and her message of Radical Self Love, for quite some time! I first discovered her blog in early 2009 (check out my adorable fangirling) but it wasn't until happenstance enabled us to meet IRL a few years later that I knew we were kindred spirits. There are just some people you meet who instantly light up your life and make the world seem like a more positive, happier place. Gala does this for me every single day and I'm so honoured to call her my friend.Read more...

Hey Kat! I'm getting married in September and have been stressing over The Bridesmaid Situation for a while now. So my question is, what's the Rock n Roll version of a bridesmaid and what does she do? As much as I love channelling Blair Waldorf it just seems a bit minion-y, like an on-display clique, since I don't have an obvious set of BFFs and hate to "draw the line". Help!Read more...

Remember when you were a lovestruck teenager, you'd find the boy you liked and do compatibility tests to figure out if you were destined to run off into the sunset together? I seem to remember one in particular where you wrote down both your full names, assigned a number to each letter, added them together and then the higher your resulting score, the more likely you were to fall in love and have babies.Read more...

There is a lot of pressure surrounding weddings. Pressure to have the most gorgeous celebration, to spend the most (or least!) money, to DIY up a storm and for everything to be utterly picture perfect. So it doesn't come as a shock to me that proposal expectations can also be sky-high for the soon to be betrothed.Read more...

I receive emails from women worried about their wedding every single day. "Will it be cool enough?" "How do I deal with my meddling mother-in-law?" "Why are my bridesmaids being such arseholes?" But sometimes I get an email like this one, and more than with any of the others, I want to drop everything, find this person in real life and give them a massive hug.Read more...

Yey! You’re engaged… Now what? You’re probably feeling a heady mix of emotions right now – excitement, anticipation, joy, terror!? While everyone you speak to will kindly remind you that this will be the happiest time in your life, you’ll soon be feeling that inevitable wave of panic too. It’s perfectly normal to be a little bit scared and overwhelmed at this stage. I mean, how on Earth do you even start to plan a wedding!? Yes, there is an enormous amount to do in a relatively short period of time but come on, if I can do it, you certainly can too. The most important thing to remember is that this is just one day. Your wedding will not define the rest of your life. It should be a nice starting off point for your marriage. But I know how it feels, and once the happy glow of getting engaged starts to wear off, it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of hyperventilating over guest lists, seating arrangements and finding that one perfect dress.Read more...
