  • The Sleeping Beauty bride-to-be

    I am always amazed when seeing such a beautiful, perfect photo, so I spent some time just staring at it. 🙂

  • Nobody else but me 🙂

    Yup! That’s for sure 🙂

  • Fairy Floss cart at your wedding

    A cart full of fairy floss? Wow! Romantic and pretty and absolutely whimsical. My question? Where’s everyone else’s share?

  • Shoes for the groom: She's mine!

    We’ve all seen the groom’s soles painted with the words “HELP!” That only show when he kneels and the bride’s shoes that say “BRIDE”, but how sentimental are these? Though, one would notice that these will be shown the other way around and upside down, it’s the thought that counts 🙂 She’s mine… sigh…

  • Best non-existing book ever

    OMG. If this actually little gem actually existed, it would be one of the world’s best-selling books! What stuff do you reckon a hubby should know (aside from the fact that “I’m fine” doesn’t actually “I’m fine”? LOL!

  • Ban on kissing photos?

    I know couples who have banned pictures of them kissing on their wedding day. This couple obviously don’t fall into that camp. What a vibrant and eye-catching colour scheme for the bridal party and an absolutely perfect (and very creative) shot from the photographer. It’s such a nicley composed photo. Did you ban your photographer…

  • Wedding day presents for each other

    Aww… what a simple (and kinda corny) but also absolutely beautiful gesture. What are you giving your hubby for your wedding?

  • Something stupid like…

    Awww… So true! Can you even look at this picture and not grin ear-to-ear? What’s the silliest thing you and your partner do or have done together?

  • Jewel encrusted garter

    Now, this is different, a jewel encrusted garter. As pretty as it is, however, the practical old lady in me wonders 1) surely it’s too heavy to hold itself up, especially when dancing and 2) it must itch like hell! LOL

  • Photographer with a sense of humour 🙂

    Oh, dear. I couldn’t help but giggle at this rather silly wedding picture. Do you think the photographer did it on purpose? LOL. What a lovely looking pair. Ehem…

  • I LOVE FRIDAY

    Need I say more, folks? What have we all got planned for the weekend? A little tennis? Gardening? Shopping? Marriage?

  • Just BE YOU!

    True dat… I’m feeling a little bright and sparkly today, are you?

  • And the bridesmaid wore… black!

    We’ve talked about black bridesmaids’ dresses (http://bit.ly/18OJJ7A) but what about black wedding gowns? This one from Monsieur Christian Dior is absolutely beautiful and feminine, and it isn’t overly black, per se. Would you swan down the aisle in it?

  • He is a prince afer all

    LOL. This couple obviously have a keen sense of humour! 🙂

  • Out-of-the-box wedding day

    You don’t often see a bride playing table tennis on her wedding day, but this lovely bride, Scottish lass Nadia, wasn’t about to miss out on any fun on her big day. What was the most out-of-the-ordinary or unexpected thing you did on your big day – or that you’ve seen a bride or groom…

  • Wedding cakes should tell stories, just like this one

    What a great idea for a wedding cake. This one tells the couple’s story, about how they met as children. Are you personalising your wedding cake? How are you doing it?

  • Wedding day crossfire with TV and sports

    (Grand Final) Saturday is the biggest day on the footy calendar – and for a number of you it’s also one of the biggest days of your life, your wedding day! Who’s had (or is having) a wedding on Grand Final day or any other major day? Did it affect attendance at your event? Did…

  • Rebecca Judd and her red dress

    Rebecca Judd is, undeniably, a beautiful woman and she’s always great on the red carpet, but I’m not so sure about tonight’s red dress at The Brownlows. Thumbs up or thumbs down, peeps? And, is just me or does she look like Natalie Portman in this picture?

  • Do your plans work out perfectly?

    Aww. This is so sweet and absolutely ideal – but is it actually true? Obviously, we all have ups and downs in our relationships but it tends to work out in the end, doesn’t it? What has been your experience and where in this list are you in your relationship now?

  • Dancing in the streets…so beautiful

    Chris and Siohban wanted a modern wedding, that was also a little old fashioned – and they obviously got the look they were after. They look to me to be dancers. Imagine how their first dance looked… What was your first dance? Did you look like this?

  • Stylish scottish wedding dresses

    Inspired by the nifty fifties, these fabulously flouncy gowns are the creations of UK-based Dragonfly Dress Design. They’re feminine and oh-so-pretty. You could probably even wear them more than once. The best bit is that white goes with EVERY colour! I’ve seen a similar gown with a tartan sash for a Scottish wedding. What colour…

  • 'twas the night before my wedding…

    The night before British bride Rachel married her beau Daniel, she spent the night with her bridesmaids and, we think, her mother and mother-in-law-to-be. What a great picture and memory of that night. Who did (or will) you spend the night before your wedding with? PS: How cute are those bridesmaids’ dresses in the background?

  • Carousel wedding cake

    British cake maker Zoe Clark Cakes is ridiculously talented. How exquisite is this superb creation, a carousel-themed wedding cake? It’s so pretty, I want to cry! If you could have any cake in the world created, what would it be? What flavour? What colour? What style?

  • Erm, no hugs for this bride…

    My friends. It is rare that I am at a loss for words, but I think this picture of a bride wearing a balloon wedding dress did it. Goodness! Not sure how she’s going to pull off her first dance…  

  • Destiny at work!

    Isn’t this just so true? Do you believe in soulmates and do you think you’ve found yours?

  • Irresistible blue polkadot heels

    Oh, my! Who can resist a pair of polkadot heels, let alone BLUE ones?

  • Your move!

    A red wedding dress and giant chess pieces? Whoa! That’s fantastic. What a great wedding photo!

  • A chance wedding photo with Brad Pitt

    This lucky bride certainly had something (extra) to dream about on her wedding night. New hubby Daniel spotted none other than BRAD PITT at the bar of their reception venue and dragged wife Abi across the hotel to meet him. Female guests were apparently “going wild and mental!” I would have too! Adds more meaning…

  • A (non) Royal wedding made simply and beautifully

    Prince Felix of Luxembourg has wed commoner Claire Lademacher in a typically non-royal wedding. There was no church, no lace (or epic long train) but they upheld one fine wedding tradition – a ‘Just Married’ sign on the getaway car complete with tin cans on a rope. Love it!

  • So happy, must be FRIDAY!

    Well, hello there Friday. We’ve been waiting all week and you’re FINALLY here! Woohoo!

  • Priest stops ceremony to reprimand photographer

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbfQo2ilHtE We’re not sure what to make of this wedding video, which shows a priest stopping mid-way through a couple’s wedding vows to tell a photographer to stop shooting. He even threatens to stop the ceremony if the photographer continues. All the while, the mortified couple are looking on. On one hand, you can understand…

  • Aaaaarrrgghhhh!

    Ahoy, me ‘earties! It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day and, t’ celebrate, we’re sharin’ this picture o’ William Timhede and his new wife Napatsawan bein’ chased by a pirate durin’ an adventure-themed weddin’ ceremony in Thailand. Fair winds to thee!

  • The most romantic umbrella

    Happy Thursday, folks! How absolutely loverly is this picture? I’d use that umbrella on a normal day!

  • Priest Planking FTW!

    It seems everybody’s planking these days, even men of the cloth! Not sure if this couple even knew what was going on in the background when they had this shot taken but we love it! It’s photo bombing and planking. We’re calling it Planking +! LOL Were you photo bombed on your big day? We’d…

  • Star in your own (wedding) music video

    Star in your own (wedding) music video

      We all know it’s nice to share, but award-winning Melbourne film-makers John Tummino and Lucy Hayes have taken that philosophy literally. They recently launched Memorokies, a new (and fabulously fun), social media-friendly twist on the humble wedding video. The clever duo, whose films have screened at Cannes and other international film festivals, specialise in…

  • No planning: Aussie blokes 'spontaneous' about marriage proposals

    When it comes to wedding proposals, it seems many Aussie blokes aren’t overly concerned about romance or grandiose gestures. They much prefer to pop the big question wherever – and whenever- their hearts tell them the time is right – even if that’s over a beer and steak parma at the local pub. A new…

  • 10 questions to ask your dress designer

Couture wedding dress designer Karen Willis Holmes shares her 10 most important questions to ask any prospective designer before settling on your final dress. “For a bride…

  • A quote is worth a thousand words

    It’s nice to be in love and even better to be standing across the aisle from the one you love most, about to declare your feelings in front of friends and family – but it’s not always easy to put your feelings into words. Sometimes, you just can’t express how much (or how deeply) you…

  • Is gold glitter too much for a bride?

    Wow! At first glance, I thought this was a little too much, but it’s actually quite striking. Imagine gold glitter on a bride. It would look stunning. What do you think? Would you do it? Probably shouldn’t jump around too much, or you might get a mouthful when you cut your wedding cake! Ehem…

  • Fun fotos

    Sussex couple Tori and Joss had a blast taking their super fun (and rather awesome) wedding photos! It’s not one you see every day but the talented mob at Viva Wedding Photography seem to be able to bring out a couple’s fun side on their big day! What’s the most fun thing you did (or…

  • Yumi Katsura: A 'waterfall' of silk organza ruffles.

    Yumi Katsura: A 'waterfall' of silk organza ruffles.

    You’d definitely need help getting in and out of this gorgeous, flowing wedding gown from Japanese couture dress designer Yumi Katsura. Wow! It’s called Kazan and contains layer upon layer of embroidered lace and the train is a waterfall of silk organaza ruffles. The thing is, as a bride should you be practical (and wear…

  • Stunning flats for your big day

    Who says flats have to be boring? These stunning shoes come straight off the runways at New York Fashion Week. They’re by Mr Oscar de la Renta, no less and imagine slipping into them after a long (big) day of posing for photographs and dancing your first dance with your new hubby… ahhhhh…

  • Texting after midnight?

    So, I have a question. For the past two nights, I’ve received texts AFTER midnight from people who barely know me, one a handyman and the other a consultant. They both texted me about appointments well after the witching hour. Is it just me or is that wrong, even though my phone is on? What’s…

  • Monday wisdom

    Happy Monday, ladies! These are wise words, indeed. Besides, who can resist a bloke capable of ruin your lipstick, eh?

  • Sugar rush: Vintage styled dessert buffet

    Sugar rush: Vintage styled dessert buffet

    Elegant and subdued, this exquisite hand-made dessert table was lovingly created by the cake-making geniuses at Little Boutique Bakery, in Kent, England. It is understated yet powerful and looks so mother-wateringly good, you’ll have to hold your guests back! Sitting atop a vintage ivory buffet is an array of cakes, biscuits, cupcakes and confectionery all…

  • How to choose a wedding dress

    Lisa Merton knows a thing or two about wedding dresses, having designed hundreds of dresses in the ten years she’s been a bridal designer. Lisa, who runs Culture Bridal Couture, says that choosing a wedding dress is one of the biggest and most important decisions a bride-to-be will make, but that no matter how many…

  • Superstitious much?

    Folks, it’s Friday the 13th and we’d love to know what wedding superstitions you believe in. For example, do you really believe it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her gown before the wedding?

  • "As weddingly as it gets" cupcakes

    What a great idea for those of you having cupcakes at your hen’s night! Love it! What’s the most clever thing you’ve seen done with cupcakes, peeps?

  • 8-year-old Yemeni bride dies after wedding night

    An eight-year-old Yemeni child has died after sustaining internal injuries on her wedding night after being married off to a man five times her age. The girl, named Rawan, was married to a 40-year-old man in the provincial town of Haradh late last week. She died due to severe internal bleeding after receiving tears to…

  • Keep Calm and Remain Awesome

    Need I say more, ladies?

  • Another success… our videographer is booked!

    He says: Once we decided a video was something we wanted to do, Dreamlife Photo’s & Video were the only option. Our meeting was great and there is no doubt now that our video will match (if not slightly enhance) everything our wedding is on the day.  Dreamlife Photo’s & Video encourage input to personalise…

  • Lovely glittering earring and necklace set

    How lovely is this glittering earring and necklace set? It’s sedate bling, if there is such a thing! What jewellery did you use on your wedding day? Earrings, bracelets? Tiaras? Or did you opt for nothing but your shiny new wedding band?

  • As long as it's an original Louis Vuiton…

    So, I bought myself a new handbag at the markets on the weekend. What do you think? 🙂

  • Lovely intimate wedding shot

    It’s obvious that everybody had a good time at Chris and Vickie’s intimate but lovely wedding in Hertfordshire, England in early August. What a lovely shot that captures such a beautiful moment in time. The little girls look like ballerinas!

  • Bridesmaids in red polkadot dresses

    Yay! Polka dot bridesmaids dresses with halternecks. They look absolutely fabulous, a little bit retro and a lotta bit cool.

  • Surreal forest wedding photo

    Is it just me or is there something surreal and utterly haunting about this wedding photo? It almost looks like clones walking through a forest – and yet, it’s still quite lovely…

  • Wedding Cakes True Art

    Giving a new meaning to the phrase ‘cake art’ is this spectacular, hand painted confection by Kuwait-based cake designer extraordinaire, Rilwan Zubair.  It’s a simple, one-layer cake but it is painted so exquisitely, well, I’d be too scared to cut it, let alone eat it.

  • Sharp and cool, engagement photos go glam

    Talk about a chic engagement shoot! New Yorkers Nkechi and Curtis ditched the traditional props and poses and, instead, opted for a thoroughly modern and very glam engagement shoot. And how well did they pull it off? What do you prefer? Classic/standard engagement shoots or something a little different like this idea?

  • Elegant blue dress for a flower girl

    What a striking and demure choice for a flower girl’s gown. Simple, elegant and very, very blue! Let’s just hope she didn’t spend the day rolling around on the grass as so many children at weddings are wont to do! I say let ’em loose, but what are your thoughts? Should children at weddings be…

  • Happy Election Day

    Democratic right exercised! Phew! Happy Election Day, peeps! There was even a sausage sizzle. For those who haven’t yet voted, better get cracking. There are only about a few hours left before polling centres close! Anyone see any bridal parties voting? What was the strangest or most colourful thing you saw today? For me it…
