Your wedding day is a big day for your Dad, watching his little girl gain a new significant man in her life, and handing the reigns over to another to take care of her can be quite emotional. SimplyBridal has put together a special infographic to remind you how you can keep your father-figure involved in your wedding. Having him walk you down the aisle is the most rewarding role a father could ever have. Give your father an important role at your wedding to show that your affection and respect for him.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the Gold Coast Wedding Fair, put together superbly by A Darling Affair duo, Carrie and Emily. I love the way these girls think. Firstly, their events are all about handmade, bespoke, vintage, out of the box. Every business involved in these fairs is basically one form of creative genius or another, so there is something not just pretty, but pretty amazing to look at every which way you turn.  Next, they pick the best venues! The Abbey was a super cool place to hold a fair, because the hall itself was spacious and…

Guest blog post by Carrie from A Darling Affair. Each month the ladies will showcase specialties from their “Darling” vendors. This months theme is: flowers! Flowers are one of our all time favourite things to do with getting married here at A Darling Affair. I was able to have a real sentimental attachment to my own bouquet as I made it myself and had foliage from my Grandmother’s garden in it. I used to dream about the day I would get married as a little girl and make little bouquets. That dream came true for me. I also had the opportunity to make…

We have our spotlight firmly trained on a wedding industry veteran, who has all the secrets up her sleeve when it comes to bridal beauty. I speak of none other than the lovely Lisa from Makeup 4 Brides. Yesterday we shared our Q&A with Lisa’s hair counterpart, Kerrie from Hair 4 Brides, and discovered her to be a wealth of knowledge. Today we are spoiled yet again with the wisdom of a mobile makeup artist, who has worked on hundreds of weddings over her 14 years as a makeup artist, making brides’ beauty dreams come true.  Lisa, where do you…
