Natalie & Mark’s stress-free wedding in the Australian heat
We love this bride’s black, lacy dress, the couple’s totally stress-avoiding attitude, cake-cutting “grr” faces, and super awesome wedding party photo picnic idea. And for any of you dealing with hassles about losing weight for the wedding, this bride’s rational and kick-ass method for dealing with it is a MUST-READ.

Science-y, steampunk-y vial place cards
We’re trying to make our reception tables look like the desk of a (mad?) scientist or at least a bit bookish and science-y. So these are our place cards! They’re all itty bitty glass vials with a label and some contents. The label names are geeky references. The contents are mostly things from the pantry. And then we’re gonna put the name cards on top.
How do you make sure guests don’t get confused by your offbeat ceremony invitation?
I was recently approached by a family member who received an invitation to an offbeat ceremony. While the invitee was thrilled to be invited, the question arose… what is this event? Wedding? Elaborate costume party? Dinner theater? Nowhere on the invite was it specified. So with offbeat invites… what is the best way of making sure your guests aren’t confused about the event they’re attending?
Sarah & Mark’s red ribbon rose steampunk library handfasting
Put on your goggles and your neo-Victorian gear, because this is STEAMPUNK WEEK! Today we’ve got a Victorian-styled red rose wedding paired with a book theme and a red dress with a peacock train. We’re talking a book cake, book pages bunting, a fabulous DIYed top hat, and all the vivid red you can handle.
Toasting: why so many people hate this wedding tradition
Sometimes we gossip with our wedding industry vendor friends. We like to get the scoop about things they’re seeing more often at weddings (ring warmings! hand fastings!) and just generally get the insider gossip. And you know what our vendor friends are telling us? That basically, almost everyone hates wedding toasts.
