Will You Be My Bridesmaid

It can sometimes be difficult to narrow down a few of your good, best, and old friends down to who you want to be a part of your bridal party. Narrowing down a few friends as bridesmaids can sometimes be difficult, but asking someone the question of “will you be my bridesmaid” needs to be a special moment completed in a special way. Obviously, there are the normal ways of asking someone to be your bridesmaid, but for those of us who want to ask someone in an original and heartfelt way websites like Etsy is your answer. I’ve been trawling Etsy for a good few months now, as I wanted to ask my own bridal party in a special way as opposed to outright asking them the question. With my wedding exactly 6 months away (eek that’s come by quickly!!), I’ve needed to make the final plans to the wedding to make it…

The Downside To Wedding Dress Shopping

I was in two minds about writing this post. On one side I was thinking that really I shouldn’t let them win and give them the gratitude of knowing how they have affected me.

I give you, the downside to wedding dress shopping. Your wedding day, and the lead up is supposed to be one of the biggest and most exciting times of your life. On my blog, I have written a number of posts in relation to my wedding – to the planning, giving out advice, and documenting my views on why I have and haven’t opted to follow tradition. Every time I have mentioned to people that I am in the process of planning the…

Wedding Diaries | how to pick a wedding DJ

Ok, so I’ve been a bit slack on my Wedding Diaries since publicly exclaiming that I was going add more editions to the series. Honestly, wedding planning is so hectic, and with the number of guests we are having (around 350 to give you a rough ballpark figure), everything needs to be extra meticulous. Forget things being meticulous for the couple that are actually getting married, but when it comes to Asian Weddings your shindig needs to top the previous one you’ve attended. Whilst I’ve been busy planning the wedding, which is just over 8 months away now (eek!), I’ve had to do endless amounts of research. Top of my priority list from the beginning was researching as to how to pick a wedding DJ for the reception. This being top of the list, as to me, the one thing I wanted to not restrict myself too much with a…

Wedding Diaries | 2016 bridesmaid dresses inspiration

The themes for 2016 weddings are already out, and we haven’t even hit the end of the year yet. But with wedding’s taking so much of our time, to plan to perfection, quieter wedding seasons like autumn and winter are the best ones to start thinking about what your wedding party will be dressed in. For the bride, apart from her own outfit, bridesmaid dresses are next on the agenda to be decided upon. But how exactly do we narrow it down for bridesmaids dresses when there are so many different styles. I’ve put together a list together for the best 2016 bridesmaid dresses inspiration. I for one am currently struggling to come to a decision as to what I want my bridesmaids to wear – needing to decide on the neck line, the cut, the colour. It’s bad enough needing to narrow my bridesmaids down to an acceptable number! Aisle…

Wedding Diaries | Help Clear Skin Review

Having clear skin is something we all long for. Especially with a special day like your wedding drawing closer. The thought of a day full of having your photo taken and being centre of attention can be quite daunting, especially if your skin isn’t looking in tip top shape. The Help Clear Skin* is the one secret that can be shared with you for clear skin. Unfortunately, a third of women are constantly worried about their skin and stubborn spots that break out in areas that are visible. With this playing on our minds during our big day, we really need something to keep our skin at bay and behaving. A soluble formula has been introduced into the market, whereby all you need to do is pop the soluble table into any drink you chose, and drink it.
