A tried-and-true wedding skincare routine (if you need one!)
A wedding skincare routine can be a quite a complex affair, if you’re into that kind of thing (and it’s totally okay not to be!).

This post is all about my wedding skincare routine. I wanted to achieve a dewy look without makeup, so I’d built my routine around it. Most of the products I have used are organic and/or natural. I’m also in the U.K. so these products are skewed towards products here, with U.S. versions listed as well.

Are you having an “East Coast Style” reception with dancing FIRST?
A lot of American wedding receptions follow this formula: a grand entrance followed by a meal, speeches, and finally dancing. But in what’s been dubbed an “East Coast Style” reception, dancing happens right away with intermittent boogie-ing down between meal courses, too! It sounds pretty rad to me and gets everyone out of their seats and into mingle and mix mode right away.
