Wonderful Wedding Blog Links

How can it be May already? This month sees my fourth wedding anniversary, and if you've been following the blog, you'll have spotted I've already republished my London wedding pictures, by the fabulous Caught the Light. You'll have to wait a few more weeks for more of my French wedding shots, unless you're sneaky, and click on this link. The month of May sees the start of the wedding season in earnest, so if you're an upcoming bride reading this post, be sure to send me your wedding pictures so I can blog them {email me}! I've had a bit of time this week to explore the wonderful world of weddings online, so you'll love these links - they're packed full for wed-spiration.

Wonderful Wedding Blog Links

It's been about six months since I last posted on wonderful wedding blog links, and it's no coincidence that my youngest son just turned 7 months. It's been an epic half year - we moved to Dubai with two children under two, when Arthur was only 5 weeks old. I definitely wouldn't recommend it! As a consequence my blogging had to take a slight back seat, but now we're settled, and Arthur has started to sleep a bit better, I'm back at work, and loving it! I hope you're enjoying Before the Big Day - please do recommend it to all your friends. I'm still based half of the time in London, so this wedding blog will remain UK focused. And for those of you with children, please do check out my parenting blog Before the Baby.

What are you up to this weekend? Starting your wedding planning? My husband and I are going to see American Hustle, as a rare date night since Ivo was born nine months ago. I'm going to stuff myself with popcorn, and be that annoying rustling person in the front row. Then on Sunday we'll head out to Columbia Road Flower Market, so I can fill the house with Dutch tulips and cut-price daffodils. Then all week I'll pretend spring is nearly here! Hope you have a fabulous break - here are a few of my favourite wedding blog links from this week.

So for me, this week has been all about planning what to wear to the Wedding Blog Awards at The Ritz. I've no idea what I'm going to wear, but our lovely Wedding Blog Beauty Expert, Julia Bowden is going to be doing my hair and make-up beforehand, so at the very least, I'll look great from the shoulders up! In the meantime, the weather's been turning, and so have my thoughts, towards autumn and winter weddings. There's some fabulous seasonal themes out there for autumn brides - take a look at my Pinterest boards for some sneak-peaks of next week's posts. This weekend I'm in Dorset, so expect some countryside inspiration....I'm thinking log fires, apple crumble, and handmade blackberry jam wedding favours! Enjoy your weekend - here's the best from the wedding blogs this week.

Months after everyone else, we've finally taken our summer holiday, so I'm typing this poolside in Crete, and slightly worrying about getting a sunburnt back! We've left it so late, it's sure to feel like autumn once we return, and then we'll be into the deliciously cosy feel of autumn and winter weddings. There's something uniquely romantic about candlelight and falling leaves, and I can't wait to see all the real weddings winging their way to my inbox. In the meantime, enjoy the last flush of summer in these wonderful wedding web links from this week. P.S. If you're wondering how I collect all my favourite blog posts together in one place, can I recommend Blog Lovin? It's a great blog reader, and it's got a fab app for your phone.

This was the post where I expected to introduce you to my brand new baby son, but he's not showing any signs of making an appearance yet!

Happy Guy Fawkes Day & Halloween! Did you have a good week? I went Trick or Treating with my nephew, who was dressed as a scary pirate and collected tonnes of tuck! Then we went to watch the fireworks display in a friend's communal garden in Maida Vale. They had a huge bonfire, and I wished I bought marshmallows with me {plus a very long stick}. Wouldn't Bonfire Night make for the best wedding theme? You can imagine all your guests cosying around the fire, a sparkler send-off, and your favours could be s'more kits. S'mores are a tradition from the US - you squish heated marshmallows in-between biscuits - yum! I hope you enjoy this week's Wonderful Wedding Blog Links - there's something fabulous in there for everyone....

The last three months have been pretty hectic here at the Before the Big Day studio, and for all sorts of reasons, you might have noticed our blog updates haven't been as frequent as we would have liked. It all comes down to one small, but growing reason....{click here for the pic}....I'm expecting a baby in early April. We're absolutely thrilled, but the first three months of pregnancy have completely wiped me out, and all I could do was sleep, feel sick, and sleep a bit more. But now I'm back on track, my energy levels have returned, and all my girlfriends are getting married, so my brain is once again stuffed with fabulous wedding ideas. Here are just a few of my favourite wedding blog spots from across the wonderful wedding world.

Happy Easter! My husband's been at work all weekend, which has been a little sad, but it means I've got tonnes of wedding fabulousness sorted out. I'm halfway writing through my wedding inspiration sessions for The In Wedding Show {buy tickets, sign up & come and meet me!} on 22nd April. I've reorganised the plants on my roof terrace, painted my nails mint, sold a piece of unwanted {horrible red} furniture on eBay and reintroduced my body to the rigours of Bootcamp Pilates {ouch}. I've also spent hours of wonderful downtime exploring the incredible creativity that is the wedding blogging world and I feel stuffed to the brim with wedding inspiration. Can't wait to share it all with you over the next few months! It's also been a great week on Before the Big Day.... You might have noticed that I've started posting twice a day - eek! Fingers crossed I'll be able to keep it up, with the help of my lovely team of wedding experts, and my fantastic new wedding blog assistant, Fleur. We'll have more fabulous features, more inspirational real weddings, and more wedding giveaways, so stay tuned! In the meantime....enjoy these wonderful wedding blog links.

This week I am mostly shattered! It's been a long one - recovering from my overnight flight from South Africa, and getting used to being back at my day job. It's also been a very exciting week behind the scenes for Before the Big Day. Next week I'm hoping to welcome not one, but two new wedding gurus to the blog. They'll be following in the footsteps of our wedding blog's personal trainer, Alice Cowen, who's been blogging up a storm of fitness hints and healthy recipes. I've also started my preparations for The In-Wedding Show, where I'll be hosting four fabulous wedding inspiration sessions. With a stand and a room to decorate, it's the perfect excuse to buy tonnes of vintage props!

This week I've been holidaying in South Africa with my cousin. We've had a fabulous time exploring the wine region, and all the cute little shops and stalls in the area. South African style is a super-cool fusion of European and African, with an almost Swedish minimalism thrown in for good luck. It makes for great wedding style, and my brain has been popping with potential wedding details. If you've been following me on Twitter and Facebook, you'll have seen a few of my favourite wedding details {with apologies for the slightly out-of-focus pictures!}. Even the vineyards make for the most perfect wedding venues in the world, so if you're considering a destination wedding, you know where to look. In celebration of my trip, this week, many of my wonderful weekend wedding blog links come from South Africa - enjoy!

Wonderful Weekend Wedding Blog Links

Do you like skiing? I've never been much of a fan, but The Boy loves it, so I'm being a very dutiful wife, and blogging this week's Wonderful Weekend Wedding Blog Links from Switzerland! It's lovely and snowy outside, and wooden Swiss houses are so cute and romantic, I'm beginning to get into the groove. Tomorrow on the slopes, when I'm flat on my face in the snow, my mood may be a little different... This week has been an exciting one for Before the Big Day, as I've welcomed the first of my wedding gurus - the lovely personal trainer, Alice Cowen. I'll have more introductions to make over the next few weeks, as Before the Big Day celebrates turning two and a half years, with a big growth spurt! My ultimate aim is to blog four features a day, so you can have more, free, wonderful wedding inspiration. So let's get started with my pick of the best wedding blog links in the world!

Wonderful Weekend Wedding {WWW} Blog Links

How was your week? Mine's been a bit of a write-off, after I caught mega evil flu last weekend, I've spent most of the week in bed, feeling sorry for myself. There definitely seem to be some serious bugs going round, but as an added benefit, I lost my appetite, so I've finally dropped those last, stubborn, Christmas pounds. I feel like I'm ready for spring now! The one good thing about this week, was that I had plenty of time to ramble around my favourite wedding blogs, and to discover a few brand new finds. That means that this week's Wonderful Weekend Wedding Blog Links is something of a bonanza. So don't bother with going outside in the cold, just jump right in, for some serious wedding inspiration!

Wonderful Weekend Wedding {WWW} Blog Links

Do you get homesick? It's a strange feeling to have as an adult, but I'm away, living in Brussels this month, so I've been getting real pangs. I've been put up in a lovely flat in a great area {v near trendy Place du Chatelain}, but it's just not home. So this weekend has been a real treat, because I've come back! It's created a combination of feelings; the fun of seeing the flat through new eyes, and the familiarity of slipping back into my old patterns. Plus, London feels brand new again, I'm rediscovering it like a tourist, because The Boy and I are so keen to pack more into our weekend. We went to the National Portrait Gallery, and out to a show in the Roundhouse, called La Soirée. I'd highly recommend both. La Soirée would make a fantastic hen night, and you could even theme your wedding around a glamorous circus theme! For more incredible wedding inspiration, check out the best of the wedding blog links below, and don't miss Before the Big Day's wedding theme ideas.
