Woah, where did the last month go?!?!? I've been a bit absent due to manic-ness I'm afraid! We have spent this week at my parents due to the Best Man arranging an engagement party in London last weekend! As it happens it's been good to have everyone...

As most of you know a friend of mine is making my shoes for the wedding. She is being completely amazing about it, has given up lots of time to do it and is just generally pandering to my obsessive, indecisive and perfectionist ways, and for that I...

Do you know anyone who is handy with a sewing machine? Vogue do this pattern. Option A would be very similar to the pink dresses you like. They would prob cost approx £50 each in fabric on the largest size and a worst case scenario usage wise.

Anyone have any tips for making the skin on your arms/back/exposed-in-a-wedding dress bits look nice and glowy? I use the Soap and Glory Glow Lotion on a night out but not sure if this will make me look a bit glittery? This sounds weird but I was...

Hi, after your very helpful answers on another thread I wonder if you had any words of advice for make up for my pre-wedding shoot next week. I have quite pinky toned skin which shoes up in pics and I usually use Smashbox photo finish primer but I'm...

I'm getting married on august BH and i'm not sure if I should get a brolly? In theory we shouldn't need it but you know what good old England is like! Is anyone else getting one or am I being paranoid?

I'm not talking the ones where you start off swaying to Westlife then break out into MC Hammer I mean a waltz type thing or similar. I'm quite keen on the idea. I danced from being 4 until I went to Uni at 18 so I have some experience of it and would...

We are in the last few days of trying to choose music for our ceremony and it's so much harder than I thought it would be! We don't really have a song so that's not helping and the music we listen to is not really wedding appropriate - think chill...

So I bought OH a pocket watch from a website as a wedding gift. The plan is to get it engraved. It occured to me this morning that I have bought loads of other stuff since then that has all arrived but I haven't heard a peep from this place. I looked...

I'm having a mini meltdown today. It's 75 days to go which sounds like alot I know but that's less than 11 weeks. Taking off the 3 days we are doing final meetings with suppliers, the 5 days off for my hen, 5 days spend abroad for work, my 30th, the...

Has anyone blinged up their shoes using crystals? My friend is making mine (shoes) and I spent ages trying to source little sew on crystals like the ones in the attached picture. I couldn;t find them anywhere and even contacted Swarovski directly as...

....a very bad one....for an evening do only. It was the first thing out of the envelope so not a good first impression. I am aware I sound like a right cow but It really did offend me and I'm not easily offended. Given that these are people we...

So, as most of you know I am making my bridesmaid dresses and I said on another thread I would post a mini blog type thing of progress...and here it is. This is the inspiration for BM's dress. I let the girls choose the style as long as they were...

Has anyone used bio oil or something similar? I've got a few marks on my back from spots and also seem to have a hand full of scars from ironing (i'm very clumsy with the iron), straighteners and curling wand that I would like to fade if poss. It's...

I've been looking for a little clutch bag for the big day as I want to keep all my bits together. I don't want to spend loads as it's not a big part of the day but I'm useless at compromising. I've found two styles I love but one is only available in...
