Over the next few months, I want to buy some new clothes to take away for our wedding/honeymoon. I've always been terrible at packing and always overpack but I'll need all the space I can to take...

Has anybody come across a birdcage veil that isn't that classic "vintage" style? My dress has most of its detail on the straps. I've tried a veil which is just under shoulder length, which cuts off...

Over the past few months I've had no motivation to do anything and have been finding it harder and harder to get out of bed in the mornings. Normally, I'd spend Sunday afternoons ironing, cleaning etc...

A few questions if may: 1. How do you download free books and are any of them worth it? I went to the Kindle Store and searched for free books and it came up with about 2000. Some of them weren't free...

As many of you know, I'm getting married in Australia, but we're still having a "normal" type reception. The standard way of serving the wedding breakfast over there is what they call "Alternate...

Mine are shower curtains and hot towels, like those ones they hand out on the plane. I hate the way shower curtains cling to you, especially if there's a draft. I can't stand the feeling of something...

I've been on the pill pretty much constantly since I was 16. I'm now 28. I've decided to come off it in preparation for TTC after the wedding. I am now in the position of having to go and buy condoms...

Does anyone else feel at a bit of a standstill with 8-9 months to go? Or is it just me having been engaged and planning for so long already?! Our abroad wedding is 100% booked. Need to choose the menu...

What do you have? At my parents' house, it's always been croissants with jam and bucks fizz. At Mr B's parents', it's smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, followed by mulled wine mid morning. We're...

We're getting married abroad with a small number of guests, but will be having a massive party (I mean around 300 people) when we get home. Although I wouldn't have wanted to invite children to a sit...

So we're at that age now where a lot of our friends are having babies and I'm running out of gift ideas. Good friends of ours have just had their second baby - a boy. Their daughter is Mr B's...

Hi CB, I was just browsing through the handmate items thread on the Hitched Awards and wondered how you made your drinks flags? They look great!

For the past couple of days, I've had some kind of allergy to something on my face. My skin is very dry and feels tight and sore. I have been complaining to Mr B about how sore it is and generally...

A few weeks ago, there was a thread on wrapping. It transpired that some of you are very good at this particular task and somebody (I think it was Spangler) offered to do a step by step guide to...

What have you got/are you getting for your brothers/brothers-in-law for Christmas? I have been sitting here all morning trying to come up with ideas but I'm completely stuck! I have Mr B's three...

Following on from the Christmas Do thread, what do you get at Christmas? Does your Christmas party get paid for? Is it just food, just drinks or both? Do you get a Christmas bonus? Our food gets paid...

I have a black tie event to go to on the 20th November and I want a new dress. Previous black tie events I've been to have tended towards the slightly more informal side, so I've always got away with...

What do you wear yours with? I've had some grey ones from Dotty P's for a couple of years now, with a smallish block heel. I thought I'd get loads of wear out of them for work, but so far, I've only...

When you're buying a gift from a gift list, at what point do you buy it? A friend of mine is getting married tomorrow, but I can't go, so I've just gone onto their gift list to buy them a gift and...

Just pondering something that occurred to me yesterday. My usual "laying about the house on a Sunday" outfit consists of tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie, which is exactly what I was wearing yesterday,...

I know it's way off, but on New Year's Eve, OH's parents are hosting a fancy dress party and the theme is the letter B. I want to come up with an original idea and ideally would like to piece...

Perhaps a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have any flashes of an Alfred Angelo bridesmaid dress in any of the light blue colours? The colours on the website are nowhere near what they should be,...

Well, actually, I'd quite like two. I've had the same coats for at least the past five years. I have a smart longish black and white checked one with a belt for work and a white Hooch snow jacket,...

I've never really been one for reading blogs, but I've seen a couple of references to them in wedding magazines and I thought I should dip my toe in the water. There are so many around, though, that I...

We've decided we'd quite fancy going to Jersey at the start of next year with a couple of friends. Has anyone been and where would you recommend? We are massive foodies so would like somewhere where...

OH's brother got married on Saturday and we had a wonderful day. OH was an usher and helped out a lot in other ways. The ushers were all given a present and a card during the speeches then all of a...

For those of you who have done these - did you provide your own cameras or was the dressing up stuff just there for your guests to take their own photos? I went to a wedding on the weekend where they...

We're getting married abroad, but we're having quite a big reception when we get home. The idea started out as an evening party with hog roast and a disco, but we soon realised that our grannies...

Couldn't see one on OT so hope nobody minds me starting one. Good - my best friend's wedding tomorrow Good - had my eyelashes done last night, having spray tan tonight, then nails and hair in the...
