Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the DIY Bride's Guide blog, which I have created to support my book of the same name. I blogged about the build up to my wedding on bridesmagazine.co.uk, sharing the trials and tribulations of my attempts to create a truly unique wedding while saving as much money as possible. Blogging was so much fun, I decided to write a book too! I love weddings - on TV, in movies and of course, those of my friends and family, and I never ever get bored of hearing about people's plans for their nuptials!

I'm hoping this blog will serve as a meeting space for bored, frustrated, stressed brides (and grooms)-to-be to come and vent, ask for advice and swap and share tips for smoothing the path to marital bliss. If you have a question, please post it and hopefully someone in the frighteningly vast bridal blogging community will be able to help!
