Fabulous Weekend Wedding Blog Links

This weekend is going to be all about getting in the festive spirit for Christmas. I'll be buying my tree from Columbia Flower Market, along with as many wreaths, poinsettias and baubles that I can fit in my little car. This year we're having a pretend Christmas at our house on Thursday 22nd December, because The Boy and I are going away somewhere hot on Christmas Eve. So I'm determined to get the flat looking as Christmassy as possible for all our family. There's tonnes of DIY Christmas ideas if you look on Pinterest here, and lots would work perfectly at a winter wedding of Christmas themed wedding. Now we've just got to wait for the snow, although in the north of England, you guys have already had a sprinkling haven't you? Enjoy your weekend, and these lovely wedding blog links! Don't forget to come back on Monday, when I've got an extra-special Christmas present for all you brides-to-be!

This was the week when I admitted I was really missing planning my wedding. It's taken a few months to figure it out - it's not like I've been feeling depressed, it was more a lack of anticipation. The simple solution seemed to be to plan another wedding. *Ahem, not really*. I've actually decided to throw all my efforts into planning a supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus Halloween party. That should satisfy my stationery and crafting urges, without me turning into one of those slightly psycho ex-brides who constantly looks through her wedding pictures with a tear in her eye. I've also had another fabulous week on StumbleUpon discovering tonnes of wedding web links you're going to love. Here are a few of my favourites - you can find all my wedding inspiration links on StumbleUpon. P.S. A few Halloween inspiration ideas might have snuck in.

So it's summer, and wedding season is in full swing. We've been to six so far this year already! I wonder how many brides who've been reading this wedding blog are getting married in the next month? If it's you, here's to the best day of your life. If I had one trademarked piece of advice, it would be Eat Breakfast. Believe me, I had two weddings, so I got to practice. The first felt slightly fraught, and involved me shouting at my mother and husband about helium balloons about an hour before we walked down the aisle. Ironically, said balloons spelt LOVE. The other wedding was totally relaxed and blissful. And the difference was breakfast. So eat it.  For all of you not getting married today, Saturday 30th July, here are some gorgeous wedding web links to keep your wedding inspiration running all weekend. P.S. It's going to be sunny - woohoo!

♥ A Tuscan wedding where you wish you'd been a guest, and worn a red dress.

♥ Inspiration for when you want even the envelope of your wedding invitation to look gorgeous.

♥ Make your own DIY raspberry favours.

♥ I wanted a camel at my wedding, but they don't have them in France.

Anyone else pining for a summer holiday? My Boy and I aren't going to get one till September, because we took two weeks for our wedding in May.

Rainy days are forecast for this weekend, so snuggle under your duvet and enjoy all these wedding blog web-links.
