The Top 5 To-Do's Before Planning Your I Do's

1. Set realistic expectations



First and foremost the bride and groom should sit down and discuss their individual visions for the wedding.

Compromise may be necessary to resolve differences but the bride and groom should never have to bow to every demand.… Continue

Wedding Inspiration: Day & Night Nordic Charm

By cheating I mean having pale walls and floors, and a lot of reflective surfaces to bring some of that cheery light into my home.

Whilst I sat fantasising about my Nordic style home last week, this inspiration…

Wedding Handkerchiefs!

I love handkerchiefs. I love the whimsy of them, the subtly femininity of them and the vintage nostalgia associated with them. At my wedding I used them as napkins.

I'm guessing the guests caught on quick because at the end of the night, there weren't very many napkins to be found…
