GET THE LOOK - Techno Themed Wedding

Not really sure where the idea for this theme came from, but I was probably laying in bed playing with my iPhone... we are now in a digital world. Soon we'll be getting married over video conference? And you can already stream your wedding live over the Internet from many wedding chapels in Las Vegas!

Blue, white, silver and black should be your colour theme... maybe add some smiley faces and glow sticks?

GET THE LOOK - Swan Themed Wedding

Swans... a beautiful and majestic creature, all whom are owned by the Crown. Also featured in many movie weddings, including Sex and the City 2.

Maybe it's because swans mate for life or that heart shape they make when touching beaks, either way swans are another wedding must have similar to hearts and the colour red.

Father of the Bride & Father's Day

So today is my dad's birthday, June 2nd and Fathers Day is coming up fast, June 19th... so I felt a little shout out to the Father of the Bride (FOB) was in need.
This is not just an important day for you and your H2B, this is also an important day for your Dad... he is giving away his little girl to a new man, who traditionally would provide and take care of her, most fathers have a little tear walking up the aisle or giving their speech at the reception! In recent years my Dad has soften ten fold, I'm worried he'll cry more than me on my big day.

Father's Day Gift - June 19th 2011

First time Auntie!

So it turns out I am going to be an auntie in October, my little sister (who is only a child herself) is having a baby.. can't say I am completely on board yet but as my family keep saying she's made her choice and I should just support that.

This may sound really selfish but what if I don't want to support her choice, should I anyway? My issue is she is young, has never worked a day in her life and I don't like the idea of her living of the state for the rest of her life... and what standard will that set for her baby?

Am I projecting my own fears on to her... or am I just being someone with slightly more life experience?

When I typed into Google 'first time auntie' most of the websites that came up were for 'how to be a good aunt' and 'what presents to buy'! Then I found this one http://www.savvyauntie.com/Expertise.aspx, hopefully someone else has felt the same as me and can tell me whether I am being OTT or that I am allowed to feel this way, and that I should support her choice but that doesn't mean I should have to support her.

I'm not religious, but it has good sentiment!

GET THE LOOK - Knitted Themed Wedding

Old lady chic, I was relaxing on my bed the other Sunday doing a bit of knitting when the idea came into my head there is a whole movement through out the UK for bring back knitting and creating your own knitted items... very useful for Christmand and Birthday gifts.

The Stitch n Bitch group regularly get together to create awesome knitted item! So if you are a knitted fan how about taking some of these ideas and adding them to your wedding?
