A  few weeks ago, I found a website called Christian Graffitti which does beautiful wedding invitations. I called them up and asked for three samples. They gave up to three invitations for free. Only two have arrived but I thought I’d post them up so that others can see them. I spoke to a lovely lady on the phone who said she set up the business because she has tired of how everyone wanted to charge so much for wedding items. When I inquired how much her invitations were, I …

So I’ve uploaded photos from the wedding we attended this past weekend. When I arrived and took photos, I saw a photographer with some very impressive lens. I asked him if he was the official photographer for the event and he confirmed he was. A friend of my fiance was standing nearby and asked me “Hmm… you must be stealing ideas… I see you asking for quotes.” I got so mad, I wanted to say “Oh that would be too crass” but I ended up saying “No I’ve already booked …

I’ve spent the last 4 hours trying to order my personalised save the date magnets…yes this is the life of a bridezilla! I’ve been thinking of sending out some “Save the Date” stuff as everyone has been asking us when we’re going to properly celebrate our wedding as we had our legal ceremony a month ago. Anyways, I didnt just want to send a card that said ‘Save the date’ or be so cheap to email people and ask them to reserve the date.

I think it says a lot about …

Last night, my friend Naomi came over to sleep over and we stayed up till 2 o clock chatting away. I’ve been quite hesitant to talk about wedding details to my friends because none of them are engaged so I didnt think they would be too interested. But my friend Naomi actually wanted to speak about my ring and other wedding details. I think you know when a woman is “ready” about marriage when she is actually interested in wedding details. A year ago, I never even thought about carat …

I was looking for personalised mint tins when I typed in “personalised box” and I came across a company that does personalised boxes.

They let you take any photo and make it into a box in 3 sizes. I thought it would be a novel way to present something for a couple but I saw the price and almost got a heart attack - 
Small £44, Medium £79, Large £119 
Postage: UK £3.85, EU £12, Worldwide: £15
But this got me thinking – perhaps this would make an alternative to the keepsake box. So if you …

So on friday, I went to Selfridges to show my cousin who is a fashion designer, the two wedding dresses I am considering. I was considering the “three roses” and the “beatrice” dress. He said that the “three roses” suits my body shape and is quite affordable (£2,000). I had thought that dress only comes in a size 2 but the sales assistant said that they take measurements and each dress is made in 6 months time. The beatrice dress is absolutely beautiful but at over £8000 it is a …

At my engagement party, I had the emcee of the event read out Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 which I love. I thought about incorporating it into my wedding, perhaps as a reading or even in my invitation. I saw an invitation where they had a poem in between the lines of the invitation. Like this one: 

Anyways, the poem is: 
 
 
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on …
