- I started this blog as a way of showing my friends and family all the wonderful and amazing weddings and ideas that I have come across in the process of planning our wedding. It's been such a fun and exciting journey and I hope you (not forgetting those Grooms out there) find some inspiration from the posts here on SYW.

Don’t Forget the Legal Formalities!
Posted on 2 December, 2011 | No CommentsThis is one of those things that can be easily forgotten amongst all the other things you have to keep in mind…but without a marriage license you can’t actually get married, so it’s important that you get all the paperwork done in time. So where to begin? If you are getting married in England or Wales you can do so in a district register office, a Church of England Church or an […] -

Rachel & Stewart’s Art Gallery Wedding
Posted on 18 November, 2011 | No CommentsI love this wedding! We have our venue booked already (the amazing Clandon Park), but an art gallery is still at the top of my wedding venue list if you’re on the hunt for one. Rachel and Stewart had a stunning wedding at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, in south London. It was opened to the public in 1817 and offers beautiful green and orange coloured interlinking rooms, with lots of natural light provided by […] -
Soo…What is Wedding Insurance?
Posted on 6 November, 2011 | No CommentsWedding insurance…yes the insurers have found a way to get involved in our most special day, but what is wedding insurance and do you need it? When your hear that the average wedding in the UK costs £20,000 you realise that this big investment, like so many others in our lives, needs to be protected. Wedding insurance provides compensation following the occurrence of specific events (when I read the policies, man […] -
Our pre-shoot with Marshal Gray
Posted on 30 October, 2011 | 4 CommentsPicking a photographer was one of the most important things for us to get right. We both love photography and after first finding the venue, the photography was next. We wanted something a bit different, nothing to traditional, that reflected out personalities. So the search began, we found some pretty amazing photographers along the way, but we settled on the super awesome Gary Lashmar aka Marshal Gray. We will have a whole feature […] -
Balloons Fabulous Balloons!
Posted on 30 October, 2011 | No CommentsI am a little obsessed with balloons at the moment. No, I’m not talking about balloon arches and the ones you see at a high school dance. I’m talking about gorgeous giant round balloons that make a bold and colourful statement. You can use them for your engagement shoot or photos on the big day. They also make amazing decorative features. Here are a few pictures that I have found that got […] -
SYW Budget Planner
Posted on 26 October, 2011 | No CommentsAfter having looked at loads of different budget planners, I created one that covers everything I think you might need. It’s a useful little spreadsheet that we’ve been using for our wedding preparations and it has also been a handy reminder, almost like a to do list. I hope you find it useful! Click on the picture below for budget planning awesomeness. -
www wedding websites
Posted on 31 August, 2011 | No CommentsHow did we survive before the Internet? It makes our lives so much easier, especially when it comes to weddings! It’s not only useful for inspiration and finding suppliers, but you can set up your own wedding website! Wedding websites can be as simple or as complicated as you like, depending on your technical skills and budget. I have found a few free recourses worth taking a look at. ZankYou is […] -
DIY: Doing your own makeup
Posted on 24 August, 2011 | No CommentsYou’ve been thinking about the perfect dress and how you’re going to have your hair (up, down, up, down) , but what about the makeup? My only worry is that I don’t want to be orange. I’m quite pale so to avoid a makeup disaster I’ve made the decision to do it myself. The Bobbi Brown session: As I’m not brave or skilled enough to do it without any help so I booked […] -
Hello!
Posted on 28 July, 2011 | 1 CommentHello, my name is Dina and I’ve recently found myself whisked away by the truly magical world of weddings. My amazing fiance proposed in May and our wedding is next year and we are super excited!! I have never had a specific idea of what my perfect wedding day would be, so everything I come across is a possibility. There are so many amazing things out there, dresses, shoes, flowers, makeup, balloons, […]
