Bridal blogs – there seems to be millions of them out there on the net but I find it wierd that I never came across any of these lovely sites when I was getting married. There was the likes of confetti, hitched and other similar UK brands, but I didn’t find anything truly inspirational, unique, fun or different until more recently it seems as soon as you start to delve into the bridal blogging underworld there are lots of hidden gems (maybe some of them not so hidden) waiting to be read. And so I thought that I would start…

There are a bazillion options for wedding day hairstyles. But here are five practical tips that I gathered from my own wedding experience: 1. Choose a style you know works for you. If you normally wear your hair back, go for an up-do on the Day. If you’re used to wearing your hair down, leave your mane to roam free. And if you know your locks go limp after an hour, look into to dos with lasting volume. But most importantly, go with the style that you feel like your fabulous yourself in and wear it with grace. 2.

I’m not getting obsessed by animals at weddings, though given the subject of my last few posts one might think I was!

I might have grown up in the depths of the countryside but it never crossed my mind to take it all the way and get married on a farm! But it seems that there is a hardcore fan club out there of people that want to get married amongst the cows and the tractors and I’m not knocking that. Infact if these engagement shots are anything to go by its probably a whole lot of fun….

Between the mangrove and blossoming frangipani trees is a sandy pathway covered with hibiscus flowers that change from yellow to red when they fall to the ground in the evening. We walk along the perimeter of the island shuffling our feet in the water. There are black crows that circle the island overseeing their land while the water hens, herons, and gannet keep watch of shore. Wooden swings and hammocks hang on trees, and huts with lounge chairs are scattered all over the island – each one feeling like you’ve Christopher Columbused a secret chill-out zone. The Maldives are a…
