If the big day has come and gone and your green bride conscience won’t let you leave that dress hanging on the hook, why not redo ‘I do’… for charity?

The Big I DO REDO is a charity ball that lets you squeeze into THAT dress and slip into THOSE heels again, to re-celebrate your marriage [...]

I always expected finding my perfect dress would be a nightmare. I’m very picky about clothes, so much so I’ve ended up totally unable to dress myself and with an unbelievably small wardrobe.
I just… I just don’t like anything in any of the shops. And I’ve been like this for years. Bring back the nineties [...]

I was recently asked by Wedding Flowers Magazine to write about why I am sourcing local and sustainable flowers for my wedding in 2009.  The article appears in the October issue and is out now – so do look out for it.  In case you can’t get hold of a copy, here’s what I wrote:

With just days to go before the big day, I probably shouldn’t even be taking a few minutes to write on here, but I know that if I don’t, it will be a whirlwind and a new surname away before I get around to it!
One thing that this ethical wedding journey has taught me is [...]

The Proposal was a fairly lack-lustre affair. We had both been ill with a vicious flu-style bug, and off work for about two weeks. I was beginning to think I would never be well again, and if Toby whinged about feeling crap one more time I was going to kill him with my snot.

One day back in April, a couple of months after that eventful day my partner and I decided to get married, I found myself bidding on a pink vintage dress on Ebay to wear at a friend’s wedding.
