I still remember when news first broke out that American pop princess started to date British bad boy Russell Brand – her walk of shame was even captured on the infamous Perez Hilton website. Fast forward a year, in January 2010, Russell Brand proposed to Katy Perry in a suprising yet spectacular fashion. Newspaper reports detailed that Russell took Katy on a trip to North India and whilst they were staying at the Taj Rambagh Palace hotel in Rajasthan, he planned an dining experience in the Mughal gardens with candles …

My friend got married recently and used two little children to announce ‘Here comes the Bride.’ How precious is that? Its a totally unique way to announce the bride’s arrival and you can even have your ring bearer and flower girl carry the plaque/banner. If you have little twins in the family – even better (and cuter!)

Some websites have begun advertising for these banners, selling creative customized signs. I sense a DIY project which would make it even more unique!

How cute is this obedient and sweet little flower girl?

When I looked at my calendar on wednesday, I realised the unique dates 8.9.10 and quickly texted my friend to tease her and say that her boyfriend and her should get married that date. She replied to say that she’s actually engaged and they were debating between having a wedding date in November or December.
So… it made me think what are the lucky numbers can other blushing brides to be and excited grooms to be choose from? My husband and I were so lucky to be able to secure …

I will never forget the moment my best friend Linda called to say that her fiance, Brian, asked her to marry him and then she teased me by pausing before she asked me to be her bridesmaids. I frantically wondered what duties this momentous role required, particularly since this is the first time I’ve been asked to be a bridesmaids as my friends are just about starting to get married at this age.

Researching the traditions of bridesmaids, I found some interesting facts. A bridesmaids is typically a close friend or …

Earlier this week, I met a hotshot headhunter who during the course of our conversation, revealed that he was throwing his 30th birthday at the Shoreditch House. Im sure he was amused by the sight of my jaw dropping because I’ve been looking into throwing my 30th birthday at the Shoreditch House… if I can afford it in 3 years time! I actually cannot think of a more hip and central location to throw a 30th birthday party.

British comedian David Williams of the infamous sketch show Little Britain married …

Now that wedding season is in full swing (one wedding for me next weekend, one at end of month and another in October) I’ve been searching for wedding cards. I found a beautiful blank card and went on the hunt for the perfect quote to insert. Here are a selection of ones I found which may be useful if you are facing the same dilemma:
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. ~ Mignon McLaughlin
Love does not consist of gazing at each …

The past weekend saw the world media flocking to Rhinebeck, 90 miles from New York City, to what has been billed as the American royal wedding and the wedding of the century. Former First Daughter, Chelsea Clinton married financier Marc Mezvinsky after a year long engagement at the Astor Court. It has been reported that President Obama offered the white house as a wedding venue.

The Clinton family spent a staggering £3.2 million on the wedding, including a £10,000 on a presidential style mobile toilet and a 20 piece band. …

Wedding season is just around the corner – and the Royal Swedish wedding caught my eye. Crown Princess Victoria, heir to the Swedish throne, married her former personal trainer, the gym owner Daniel Westling on 19 June 2010 at Stockholm Cathedral. Over 250,000 people watched the wedding outside with only a select group of 1,000 wedding guests inside. The wedding was considered Sweden’s top event in its social calendar. Coincidently, Victoria shared the same wedding date as her parents, who were married 34 years ago. The 32 year old princess …

Over the weekend, I asked my best friend if she considered a backyard wedding. Already, the backyard wedding is a celebrity trend. Just ask Tori Spelling who wed Charlie Shanian in 2004 at the Beverly Hills estate of her father, TV producer Aaron Spelling… but then again most of us dont have a spare 56,000-foot garden. On a more relatable level, Elton John and David Furnish celebrated their 2005 wedding at John’s Windsor Estate, where guests socialised on two giant tents in his backyard. Liz Taylor married Larry Fortensky in …

At some point, I know I have to do a post about celebrity engagement rings. Admit it, you too have seen the celebrity rocks and their even bigger personalities to match. Paris Hilton once said she gets a work out from wearing her engagement ring itself!
I like to think of engagement rings like Mr Big in Sex and City – something sweet to seal the deal. Just in the case of celebrities, they can afford to be bigger and brighter.
Starting at the top, Beyonce was given a 18 …
