Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending one of the most unintentionally (as far as I know) green weddings I’ve seen - and I did it dressed as Bjork!
Let me explain…
The couple in question are very laid back, no fuss kind of people. So for a start there were no fancy invites; our summons [...]

My dad came to see me the other week to help with my accounts (interpret: do them for me because I’m lazy) and while he was here I asked if he wanted to see The Venue.
Given the choice of that or a million receipts for 80p which all need logging and filing somewhere - anywhere! [...]

I was engaged on 29 February after proposing to my H2B. It wasn’t exactly planned, so there were no rings exchanged on the said day. In fact, we had no idea how to go about things. So after the initial shock/excitement of deciding to get married, we set about trying to find a ring.

I guess [...]

Enough time has passed that I can now talk about wedding venues without that dull, throbbing ache appearing somewhere around my temples. Having only recently moved back to the UK after an 8 year hiatus in Australia, and living many miles from my family home, there was no beautiful building I was just dying to [...]

Until now I haven’t shown my dad anything (articles, news, etc.) in regards to ethical weddings, though already planned that. Well, I do have two articles from the internet, both in Indonesian (as my dad doesn’t speak English)—it’s so hard to get writing on earth-friendly weddings in my very own language.

One of the common complaints about weddings is the amount of waste they can generate - and one of the elements that comes in for the most flak is the all-important wedding dress.
So if you’re at the start of your wedding planning, why not take the long-term view and pick out a dress you can [...]

As they’ll be wedding planning from a distance (living in England but marrying in Ireland), the DVD should come in [...]

We’ve had a rather interesting press request from The Press Association about weddings on an extreme budget…
I’m intrigued to know if any of you fit the bill - cos I’ll then want to pick your brains to find out how you did it!
They’re looking for women aged between 20 to 50 who celebrated their big [...]

I can honestly say that our relationship can be split into two parts: the blissful two years up to the proposal… and the hectic 3.5 months since!
If I could have chosen one place in the world to fall in love, it would have been Woodford Folk Festival. Living in Brisbane, Australia, since 2000 (and prior [...]

As I’ve told you, my family (especially my dad and my stepmom, the ones in my family that I have talked about this eco-wedding plan with so far) doesn’t take the ethical wedding idea earnestly.So at first, I expressed to them how my husband-to-be and I sought after a very simple wedding. I kept emphasizing [...]
