The last thing any bride wants is to look at their wedding snaps and see bags under their eyes – bigger than the bouquet – staring back! Weddings equal stress. Simple as that. There is no way to avoid it short of eloping to Gretna Green – and well that’s a little bit old…
You’ve chosen a venue, found a dress, selected a suit and booked the band, now all you have to do is decide on what to feed your guests. The only problem is you’re vegetarian and many of your guests aren’t? Do you decide to keep everyone happy and cater for all dietary requirements or serve meat…
Choosing the right photographer for your wedding will be one of the most important things you will do in the lead up to the big day. However if your not too sure what you’re meant to be looking for, it can be a struggle to find the right one for you. So we asked pro…
Did someone just say Christmas? No way! Usually I am very strict about when we can start feeling festive in our household. Normally it’s the weekend after my birthday, but as we will be out of the country for much of December this year, I have relaxed the rules a little as I don’t want…
This week has been crazy busy! Nowadays, that is something I don’t often like to admit as I try to prioritize but it’s been hard to avoid with our Sri Lanka trip just 3 weeks away. I can’t wait to get our travels started, but anyone who is self employed will know, it can be…
Miranda & Daniel’s beachfront destination wedding at Langosta Beach is one of the most beautiful weddings we have seen all year. As the grooms family lived in Costa Rica for many years, there was really no doubt that they were going to have the destination wedding in a place that Daniel and his family proudly called…
Julianna and Thaddaeus became husband and wife, surrounded by just their closest family and friends, at the beautiful Japanese Friendship Garden in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. It was enriched in cultural tradition and meaningful touches. Upon arrival guests could say a prayer over the bride and groom’s wedding rings. The couple’s unique guest book was a set…
It’s that time of the week again! You might remember, I took a month long break from wedding planning last month, as I didn’t really feel like there was much more I could do after our chosen celebrant/ planner said I wouldn’t be able to book our ceremony venue until 3 months in advance. Feeling…
Photography by Fiona Kelly Photography When it comes to weddings, there’s a lot of pressure to buy ‘things’. Dresses, suits, veils, jewelry, decor, stationery, favours, seating chart, welcome signs, seating signs, table numbers, place cards, guest book, cake topper and even more signs!! For a minimalist like me, the thought of buying so many items for my…
I mean seriously, how is it almost Halloween already? I feel like it was JUST summer! This week has been a busy one as Jess has been putting the finishing touches to her murder mystery night and I’ve gluing a million sequins and gems to a hat for my costume, which has taken FOREVER!! But…
Hello Guys & Gals! It’s been a while since we wrote an advice post on the blog and we thought it was about time we wrote another. Although today’s article is about picking the best and most professional wedding band for your wedding, it could easily apply to all types of entertainment as well as musicians. If…
Ugh, I don’t know about you but the weather this week has got me feeling so bleh! And with no sign of it getting any brighter out there, I’m in serious need of a pick me up! I’m really not a winter person which is part of the reason we started going on our summer…
Although I’m on a month long wedding planning ban, it doesn’t mean I can’t help you guys with your own plans this weekend. It feels like soooooo long ago since I got engaged but I still remember it like it was yesterday. It will forever go down as one of the best days of my…

Perhaps it’s because I’ve never really planned a wedding before but damn is it a roller coaster! Sometimes I am so excited I wish it was yesterday, other days I am totally overwhelmed by how soon it is, when it’s really not soon at all! I am still stressing over this date thing, worrying myself…
Planning a DIY wedding is hard enough, even if you have the time and skills. So, when it comes to adding your own handmade touches, when you have neither, it’s easy to throw out the idea once and for all and start over with something ‘easier’ but not necessarily ‘YOU’!. The thing is you can…
Phew what a whirl wind these past few weeks have been, filled with hen parties & weddings. I have to admit, although it has all been very exciting, I am looking forward to a much more relaxed weekend. This week was very exciting for me as I preliminarily booked my favourite videographers in the whole…
Cheer’s to the freakin’ weekend! I can’t believe it has been just one week since I last shared my my weekend wedding plans. I’ve only written a couple of posts but it has already made me realise just how quickly the weeks fly by! It took me a few days to recover from last…
