In light of my engagement invites (you can tell I’m pretty damn pleased with myself, can’t you?) I’ve decided on my philosophy towards planning our wedding: being lazy(ish).
Or, to expand:

minimum cost
minimum effort (unless the task is something really fun!)
maximum impact

In the context of invitations for example, getting someone else to do them might be low [...]

I’m really getting on my high horse a bit lately huh? We’ll be back to engagement party planning soon, promise.
But I saw this post on A Los Angeles Love today, and had to bring attention to it. It’s pretty much what I was trying to say here and here about the lack of diversity in [...]

I don’t really write about politics because I honestly don’t know much about it, but this was just… um, wow.
These tweets and the press release they were quoted from were taken down shortly after, but not before outraged people took screenshots and Google cached her site.
Love is love people. I’m sure Jesus would agree with [...]

The Boy and I have booked a trip back over to Perth while they were on sale, so you’ll probably see some more posts from me as we try to make the most of the time there to get things organised! Here’s what’s on my list of (wedding related) things to do:

…is wearing headphones to watch the late night/early morning soccer matches when your fiance doesn’t want to watch them. Or getting up early to turn on the heater for her when she does*. Thanks babe!

And every day I had heaps of beautiful images of real weddings, ‘photo shoot [...]

There seems to be a bit of discussion about the name changing thing recently, and it’s made me think about it a little more. Last time I wrote about the name thing I was reluctant to change my name because of my business and simply not liking the way my name sounds with his, but [...]

I know people often don’t bother to make sure they spell correctly on forums or blogs but…

Doesn’t anyone notice this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
If you’re talking about the thing with trees, it’s a forest, not a forrest.
The price of a wedding cake is ridiculous, not rediculous, rediculus or redikulous.
You walk down the [...]

I came across this post today through my photographer… and thought it was worth sharing. My planning so far has been very me-centric, so I hadn’t put any thought at all to potential conflicts between different vendors and making it easy for them to do their job unhindered. I hadn’t planned on getting a professional [...]

If any of you out there in wedding blog land haven’t come across A Practical Wedding yet, now would be a great time to go take a look. The fabulous Meg has had the site design rehauled and relaunched, and it’s looking really incredible. APW is definitely a must-read if you’re planning a wedding and [...]
