So I am a sucker for a statistic, and I wanted to write a blog that would put your own wedding into perspective.
If you are worried about being overly extravagant, spending too much or over inviting on the guest list - think again.
The most expensive wedding

Elise (22) and Wade (23) met through a case of mistaken identity. Elise mistook him for someone else and went to give him a good telling off, which got them talking and finally exchanging numbers. Wade thinks Elise just used it as an excuse to meet him but from that point on.. he was hooked on her!
Elise had…

I've done enough blogging now to realise that I have been an amazingly lucky bride. In fact, I am incredibly blessed to have had such a smooth running wedding day and a fun filled reception.
A big part of this is because we made some very smart choices about the businesses we used as well as some well spent time on…

The big day is over, the thrill of the planning and the excitement of the day has diminished to just a warm fuzzy glow, like the first cup of coffee in the morning, the presents unwrapped, the cake in the freezer and you think the wedding is all done and dusted.
Not exactly...
You now have the job of deciding what to do with the million and one photos from your…

Surprise weddings are a wonderful way to do without the stress and hassle of arranging a wedding but still being surrounded by loved ones and family as you commit to your special someone.
There are a number of reasons why people choose to have a surprise wedding. Some just aren't "white wedding types" , moving state or country, a new arrival... Whatever your reason you can still…

As if writing your own vows wasn’t scary enough you’ve decided to be brave and memorise them as well. While I applaud your courage we also thought some memory tips might be handy so you don’t forget the words you’ve spent hours agonising over.
CHUNKS
Just as good as the chocolate kind. This method of memorising has proven very popular and…

Once the wedding is over, the bills paid, the hangover fading and the guests gone you are now faced with one of the hardest waits imaginable. More painful than the leadup to Christmas for anyone under the age of 10 is a bride and groom on the edge of their seat waiting to get the photos back from their photographer.
I'll admit in my case I am guilty of being overly anxious to see the…

With a lot of couples choosing a short and sweet ceremony "the order of service" has become less of a requirement at weddings and more of a momento.
It is a fantastic way to give your guests a memory of what was said, and done, at the wedding but something that you may choose to ditch if you are working to a budget.
Some quick googling will give you some examples of how an order of service is laid out but luckily…

There is something about a wedding that blows perspective out of proportion. Especially when it comes to deciding who actually attends the wedding.
When your guests list starts to rival the credits for Ben Hur Beware! You're in danger of falling victim to some classic wedding etiquette furfies.
The have-to… Continue

If you are having a professional wedding photographer, chances are you are getting a package that includes a wedding album.
Which is great, for the two of you.
But what about your mum, dad, aunts, uncles, grandparents, godparents etc etc etc…

Just when you thought an outdoor wedding was easy, the council may have a small spanner to throw in the works. Most councils across Australia require you to pay a license or booking fee to secure your section of public park.
But hang on a second... isn't a park a public place? I'm a member of the public and therefore shouldn't I get this for free. Well that is a whole other…

Apparently there is a folklore declaring rain on your wedding day as a good luck sign for a happy marriage.
I tend to think this could have been a saying invented by brides who want to feel better about the fact that it rained on their wedding day but in our case, it resulted in a ceremony beyond our dreams and expectations.
The morning of Saturday October 3rd…

It may shock you to know.. I DIDN'T hire a limo or a chevy or a hummer for our wedding. Shock Horror!
(If this was radio they would play that cheesy DA DA DAAA sting!)
Why Kez? Why? I hear you ask.. aren't all brides supposed to arrive at their venue in style?
Well yes, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay the amazing rates for a service I only required for 5…

As I mentioned in a lot of my post I was determined to have a beautiful wedding to our budget. Mickey and I were not about to sell organs to pay for our wedding.
What I discovered about planning a wedding is there is always a price to pay, it may not be money, but it may be time that you have to sacrifice or even some blisters from running around town.
Continuing with the deconstruction of the wedding I will use our…

Even celebrants have the need to hire celebrants and Mickey and I could not have been happier with our choice.
We heard of Amber through our Bestman, who had only recently wed. They had tried to book her but because she is in such demand it was not to be. Mickey and I had discussed the kind of celebrant we wanted. We wanted a woman, young (if…

I am a google bride. I have wikipedia'd how to write vows, google'd table settings and bing'd speech etiquette. Anything that allows me to finalise my wedding details in the comfort and "hassle free" environment of my own home - is a good thing.
And that's why I love the following. Jewelers have got onboard to help and iBride…

Sometimes it takes a bride to know what a bride is going through.. friends and family just don't get it because they either are "full up" of wedding stuff or it's been too long since their own wedding to remember the trauma and drama of a wedding day.
And that is where the internet is heaven sent.
Bridal forums and chat boards give you a chance to vent (anonymously if need be) or…

Today, exactly 8 days from the wedding I had my first spanner in the works.
It wasn't a wardrobe malfunction, or a catering error or even a misplaced wedding ring (phew!) but nevertheless it was an unexpected glitch in what all together has been smooth sailing when it comes to our wedding planning.
So I know you are wondering did I handle it with dignity and grace? scream the house down? chuck a…

At my sisters wedding last year I wore a body shaper under my silk dress.
Well, actually I bought a cheap bodyshaper from just a run of the mill department store and I got exactly what I paid for.
A bodyshaper that by the end of the night was somewhere around my midriff (allah Bridget Jones Edge of Reason) and was desperately uncomfortable for the entire evening.
So, thank heavens, that just 11…
