My DIY Wedding (Part I): Dress, Braid, Pout
A wedding is a special occasion for every girl and many of us want a fairytale, one-of-a-kind, experience. Yet, what do you do if neither you nor your fiancé want a big wedding with months of planning and hundreds of guests? DIY wedding could be your answer! Maybe because we both don’t like too much fuss and attention or maybe because we are too practical and don’t have patience for months of planning, my now husband and I decided to go for a small and intimate city wedding at the local Town Hall.

In Mood for Love or That Little Red Dress
While the men in our lives agonise over what to give or where to take us out for Valentine’s Day, we go over our wardrobes to find out yet again there is nothing to wear for that special dinner! Little black dress? So cliche and 2012!
