Wedding Diaries | Plan A Wedding On A Budget #3

Wedding Diaries | Plan A Wedding On A Budget #3

With my wedding now being just under a year away (time has literally gone by so quickly), there is still so much that I need to book, research and plan for. It’s a wonder how I will actually find time to get any of my wedding planning done with the little time I do have. I know what a lot of people, including my parents are saying, a year is a very long time. But in Wedding terms, a year is next to nothing, it’s no time at all! Considering there is communication chains that need to be tackled from one supplier to another, research needs to be done on prices and where to get the best deal, time does get consumed fairly quickly.

My one bit of vital advice, for when you are picking a Wedding venue, is to really look around, do your research, and always read the small print (cliche I know)! There are so many places out there, and you really…

Wedding Diaries | To Indian Wedding Or Not? #1

It’s been almost a year now since my fiance proposed to me, and the wedding plans are pretty much in full swing at the moment. Before you ask, no we are not getting married this year. More so, next year. Yes – I know what you may be thinking, isn’t it way too early to be planning the wedding? Maybe, for some traditions. But when you are talking about two Hindu families being bought together, and all the festivities that take place for our special day, some would say a year is leaving it too late! Knowingly, there a lot of Asian couples start planning almost two years in advance for their big day. So I like to think I’m being some-what laid back about our plans. And certainly avoiding the curse of becoming a bridezilla! In the first edition: to Indian wedding or not.
