I have had many issues with one of my bridesmaids, which in the end I came to the difficult decision I should give her the option to no longer be my maid and she accepted. There wasn’t an argument or...

Hi all! First time posting here and I’m after a little advice. Long story short, I was going to just have one bridesmaid: my sister-in-law-to-be. After asking her, I thought it would be a nice idea to...

I have a venue decorator booked for table cloths & runners, chair swags, candy cart, table centres and their flowers, and the top table flowers. I haven’t really been 100% from the start but I had...

We are having our reception in a barn which I would like to put swags and bunting up in. There are three middle beams which are easy to lay things on top of, but at each end wall there is a beam sunk...

Hiya, My wedding will be relaxed, 50 people, children, in a nice venue but with a relaxed feel. It's what I want but. Does that mean I have to have a very simple dress? I want a sleeveless beaded and...
