A WEDDING IN A HURRY: Part Eight - THE BRIDE VS MOTHER
Like so many things in life, you can't always comprehend something until you experience it firsthand. I realise now that this is true for when you become a Mother and now, also for when you become a bride. The irony is that the two of them are polar opposites - as a Mother your child comes first, and as a... -
A Wedding In A Hurry: Part Six - The Beauty Products
Short of any miracles being performed, I am relying on the benefits of a good skincare regime to have my skin 'wedding ready' in no time at all. After my skin consultation at Lucy & The Powder Room, I was recommended to boost my existing skincare routine with the Synergie skincare range which is a collection of highly active cosmeceuticals... -
A Wedding in a Hurry: Part Five - The Beauty Plan
To get my skin looking its best for the big day (is erasing 5 years off my face too much to ask?!), I called on the experts at my favourite beauty salon, Lucy & The Powder Room.

Not needing to wear a suit for work, my fiance Gus has been holding off buying a new one until he had the perfect excuse for a beautiful, tailored-made suit. So off... -
A Wedding In A Hurry: Part Two - The Dress
For the last few years I have been pinning and regramming wedding dresses like a woman possessed. Even before I was engaged I was doing this, which sounds very much like something Bridget Jones would have done, but as the owner of Mildred&Co I have at least had a valid excuse to do so. The only problem is that I... -
A Wedding in a Hurry: Part One - Getting Inspired
So I am getting married in March this year and my fiance and I have only just started planning the wedding. Yes, that's right...we only have two months to somehow pull off an entire wedding. That's 58 days to be exact. This ridiculously short time frame is ironic, firstly because we have been engaged for nearly a year and a...
