Bridezilla,

Unique Marriage Proposals

Thursday 18th February 2010

Calling all men! (OK, so it’s unlikely they’ll be reading Bridezilla, but that’s what email is for, i.e. sending hints to things you want them to buy for you...) You’ve had Christmas, that New Year’s party, and Valentine’s Day is over and done with, so the question still remains... WHEN ARE...

Wedding Planning

Monday 18th January 2010

I like to think I’m relatively organised. But when it comes to planning a wedding, a diary and a few post-its simply don’t cut it. No, when HTB got down on one knee, I practically logged onto my ready-made wedding excel spreadsheet before I told him yes. Well not quite, but...

Tasteful Favours

Monday 14th December 2009

If you thought the easiest part of planning a wedding was the little extras, you’d be mistaken. Choose the wrong favour and you risk social suicide. A friend of a friend ordered in a fresh roses in a box for each of hers – unfortunately the dining room could have doubled...

Beautiful Bridal Lingerie

Wednesday 18th November 2009

Just because a bride has got her hands on THE DRESS, doesn't mean it’s plain sailing from there. Equally, if not more important, is what lies beneath. And I don’t mean in a sinister, bad horror film kind of a way (although the big day could easily turn so if the...

Bridezilla Gets Cold Feet...Literally

Friday 16th October 2009

HTB’s got it easy – he gets to spend the big day as he is practically every other day of the year: warm and toasty in a suit. Whereas poor me, on the other hand, has to put up with all kinds of sartorial torture – poky hair pins, Bridget...

Floral Fancies

Friday 18th September 2009

Throwing the bouquet should be a joyous moment, if, that is, one is gaily tossing it TO her friends, and not AT the florist, because they’ve overdone it with the Gypsophila (‘I said tasteful, TASTEFUL!’ I remember a school friend screaming at her reception last year. Poor thing had to...

Diamonds are a Bridezilla's Best Friend

Friday 14th August 2009

It’s true, diamonds are a girl’s best friend. But remember ladies, you’re judged by the friends you keep. (And besides, I have a sneaking suspicion that when Marilyn sang that famous line, she wasn’t referring to Argos solitaires.) Blame Hollywood movies for making it OK for men to propose with engagement...

The Bohemian Bride's Dress

Tuesday 14th July 2009

Last week HTB deigned to call me a control freak. Moi? Controlling? I’m as laid back as they get – I mean, I love the India Hicks Island Living range for Crabtree & Evelyn, I always have a Tubereuse Diptyque candle burning, and you’ll often find me floating around the house...

Sitting (Not So) Pretty...

Tuesday 16th June 2009

It’s my wedding and everyone should know their place. And I’m not just talking about Husband-to-Be. Every great hostess knows that the table plans can make or break a party – heaven forbid that my Father's wife no. 2 is accidentally placed cheek by jowl next to current Stepmother. My two...

Behind Every Great Man is a Very Persuasive Woman...

Thursday 14th May 2009

Obviously all eyes are going to be on me on the big day, but should one wander over to HTB (Husband-to-Be), I want him to be looking suitably dapper. There’s no room for his favourite old pair of Church’s or the waistcoat he wore to my best friend’s wedding – what...

If the Shoe Fits...

Tuesday 21st April 2009

I’m not high-maintenence, I’ve just always had high standards. And honestly, what’s wrong with that? As a five year old, my ballet shoes simply had to be Repetto, when I was packed off to school I insisted that I was accompanied by tangerine Swaine Adeney Brigg suitcases (no plain old trunk...
