    The digital age is upon us. Hard print copy is slowly leaving our fingertips as we migrate online. Most people have access to the internet and a variety of digital devices. As lovely as physical wedding invites are it may be a great idea to consider a digital approach. To help you along we have put together a few notes on how to achieve a successful site. Here are a few nifty tips to consider when starting your own wed-site. 

    1. Know your limits

    If you’re not great with computers don’t opt for a website where you have to create everything from scratch. Rather go with platforms that provide existing templates. You can still customise it and make it look great! Make sure to choose a website that will showcase what you want and make you happy. Look around and decide after viewing a few options.

    2. Don’t forget the basics

    It’s so much fun choosing various designs and pictures so try to remember the basics. Be informative and ensure your wed-site goes beyond just aesthetics. Remember to include the what, where, when, who and how. Provide your guests with the 411 on dress code, the program, accommodation, location, registry, and local attractions if you are planning a destination wedding.

    3. Representation

    Be sure to create a wed-site that is a great reflection of you as a couple and of your wedding theme. Personalize the display to give guests a sneak peek of your big day – stick to a specific font, incorporate your colour scheme, or include a small photo timeline. To add extra flair, something to consider is creating a unique logo.


    4. Boast yourselves

    It’s your big day and you’re allowed to make things about yourselves. Tell your guests about your love story, how you met, funny anecdotes and how things led to this point. With that being said don’t write essays – keep things short and sweet.

    5. Registries and hashtags

    Hashtags are a great way to create an online photo album that all your guests can take part in. Perhaps the most beneficial feature of a hashtag is its ability to pull all of your wedding photos, from any source, into one place. Don’t forget to add your wedding registry link. 

    6. Protect your big day

    Be sure to use a password for your wed-site. You don’t need any wedding crashers. Any special invite-only events shouldn’t be mentioned on the wed-site like rehearsal dinner and bachelor parties.

    7. Consideration

    As mentioned before, digital is taking over but consider the fact that elderly people may not keep up with the times. If your elderly guests still sit waiting for the postman, try creating a special physical copy just for them. Also, consider having a FAQ section. Things may not always be clear and that’ll help a lot.


    Don’t think of a bland email that just consists of details and lack of creativity and representation of your love. Creating a wedding website or wed-site can be fun and exciting.

    You’re able to put your own twist on things and can play it up or down as much as you’d like. You don’t have to be tech-savvy as many websites offer existing templates that you can customise. With just one click, your guests can check out all the details and be informed of any changes. You can also read: Best wedding planning APP’s and tools

    The best man is there to assist the groom to be – the equivalent of the maid of honour. Some of their duties include giving advice when picking an outfit, planning the bachelor party, lending an ear and providing some words of wisdom. One very important responsibility, of course, is the best man speech. It can be nerve-wracking to say the least, but don’t worry, we’ve gathered some tips on how to carry out your toast.

    1. Plan and prepare

    This goes without saying, but it’s vital to be prepared. Some may say that winging it is the best way to go, but not in this case. Start thinking about things or funny stories you’d like to mention. Take notes whenever you can and build something up. It really does come in handy when you’re sitting there trying to think of everything to say in one go.

    2. Are you a comedian?

    If not, then please try not to be. Yes there will be some hits, but when the misses come, it’s just awkward. If you do plan on cracking a few jokes, try aiming them at your buddy and not his new bride, unless you’re all really close.

    3. Practice and written copy

    As odd as this may sound, practicing your speech out loud helps a lot. You’ll get comfortable with the words and it won’t sound as though you’re reading your speech on the big day. Know your pauses and when to make eye contact. As the big day approaches, ask someone (not the bride or groom) to listen to your speech. Remember the notes you took? Formulate it all into one copy. If you prefer not to read on the night, write a few points down in bullet form, so if you do stumble, you’ll be able to look down and get back on track.

    4. Don’t mumble and remember the basics

    This goes without saying – people need to be able to hear you. Open your mouth when you talk and project your voice. Introduce yourself and explain how you know the bride and groom. Thank the guests for coming and congratulate the newlywed couple.

    5. Anecdote

    People enjoy listening to stories but not when it’s long and dragged out. Try keeping the speech under five minutes. The stories have to be interesting and funny, and if you’re not sure on how to make it funny, then aim for just putting a smile on the guests faces. You don’t always have to have people in stitches – people appreciate a sweet ‘awww’ moment too.

    6. Avoid at all cost

    Don’t say anything negative about marriage, even if you think it’s funny. This newlywed couple have just entered their marriage and shouldn’t feel regretful. Ex-partners should not be mentioned and this includes girlfriends, boyfriends and ex-spouses. Sexual humour should be avpided completely, because it’s downright inappropriate and may be awkward for the happy couple as their family and close friends are there.

    7. Content

    Just a basic outline of what should or can be mentioned include:

      • Introductions
      • Thanks and congratulations
      • How you know and met the bride and groom
      • Something nice about the groom that people may not know
      • Why the bride and groom make a great couple and how you’ve witnessed their love
      • Relevant quote or poem
      • Champagne time!

    This is part of a speech I gave at my friends wedding recently. Here are 5 Lessons. The speech was scripted because I wanted to share a specific message and I landed that morning after 20 hours of travel haha. I know relationships can be tough but I wanted to share lessons that I believe can make a difference. Nothing good in life comes easy. But when we have principles to live by, values to honor and lessons to start with, we have a better chance of success. A HUGE congrats to the happy couple! It was by far one of the most beautiful weddings I had ever been too because it was with all my closest friends I grew up with. Thank you for having me and allowing me to share some words. So grateful to have you all in my life! I hope this resonates with you. Share it if it does! ? @filmworkstudios

    27 Dresses ? Is am amazing film it is a rom/com and it kind of a new Bridget Jones. This film is about a girl who loves weddings and plans them for everybody else and does everything but she never had time for herself usually. But every wedding she goes to she gets to be a bridesmaid and she keeps all of the bridesmaids dresses and a reporter wants to get close to her and write a story on her but she doesn’t know that she just thinks he is being friendly to her. Amazing storyline and a capturing film for people to see who might like these films. I would recommend this film to people who like romantic comedies as it has a very strong sense of that. #27dressesmovie #filmreviews #weddingdress

    4. The Proposal (2009)

    Technically the engagement and marriage was fake but who doesn’t love a happy ending? Margaret Tate is an executive editor-in-chief of a publishing company. Andrew Paxton is her assistant. Margaret is told that she is going to be deported to Canada. She then persuades Andrew to marry her and he agrees. The ‘couple’ travel to Alaska to visit his family and encounter many awkward situations.


    5. Bride Wars (2009)

    A classic tale of two best friend ‘bridezillas’. Since Olivia and Emma were little they have been planning their dream wedding. Both women get engaged around the same time. Issues arise when both brides-to-be have their eye on the same location, same month and only one date available.


    6. Made of Honor (2008)

    Tom and Hannah have been best friends for over 10 years. He has issues with committing to one woman and she’s dedicated to her job. When Hannah finally gets engaged she asks Tom to be her maid of honour. He then realises that he is in love with Hannah.


    7. My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)

    Who can forget the Windex on everything and the very loud family? It is one of the highest-grossing romantic comedies of all time. Fotoula Portokalos and Ian Miller fall in love. Tension rises when the family finds out he is not Greek (and doesn’t eat meat but that’s okay there’s lamb!).


    8. Bridesmaids (2011)

    Prepare to have a laughing fit. This funny film is about a woman who is getting married, her unstable best friend, an annoying new friend and the other unusual bridesmaids.

    After the joy of getting engaged comes the wedding planning. It’s time to start figuring out your budget. Weddings can be quite costly and dresses are not cheap. Especially when you’ve had your eye on something elaborate. As lovely as it may be to have something custom made or ‘fresh out the box’ have you considered buying or renting a second-hand wedding dress?

    Google is everyones best friend but if you’re looking for places to find a second hand wedding gown, have a look at some of these options.

    1. Dejavu Dresses

    This online service offers pre-loved wedding dresses. You are able to select your province and city. There are various styles and prices.

    2. The Wedding Boutique

    Not just your average wedding shop. This store offers the option to buy or hire a wedding dress.

    3. House of silk bridal studio

    Offering a massive collection of gowns to hire. This store ensures that previously owned wedding dresses are still in great condition.

    4. Innovine

    Have a look at all their previously loved wedding dresses. Offering various styles and sizes.

    5. Vintage Lace

    This online wedding dress directory helps brides to be find their perfect gown. Have a look at all the second-hand dresses.

    6. Sell My Wedding Dress

    Purchase your dream dress for a fraction of the price. Find second-hand wedding dresses on this online wedding directory.

    The big day is coming up and you’ve found the perfect dress. Make-up artist is secured and you’re hoping to turn heads. You’re most likely picturing your grand entrance and imagining how stunning you’ll look. Arguably the bride is the center of attention, all eyes are on her.

    So how do you ensure that you will be the best version of yourself on your wedding day?

    A happy bride is a glowing bride. Try to sit back and relax as much as you can. Stress can cause so many things, like break outs, anxiety and just feeling unwell. Ask for help when you need it: that’s one of the reasons your loved ones are there.

    Exercise and eating healthy can give you a natural glow. If working out and loosing weight was a goal then great! Try engaging in fun workouts like Zumba or whatever puts a smile on your face but if you’re unhappy and starving it’s not worth it. Remember: happy bride. 


    Talk about your issues or doubts. You’d be surprised at how much talking about your feelings can help. Grab an ear of one of your nearest and dearest and let it out. They might even have some great advice for the bride-to-be.

    Having your hair and make up done will always make you look and feel beautiful.

    If you’ve gone to a stylist and they offered a variety of hairdos that’s fantastic. Choose whichever hairstyle you are the most comfortable with. If you don’t know much about make-up, then ask your artist what they think would look best. Be sure to have a make-up trial to know what you’re in for. As lovely as Pinterest and Instagram is, not every style and look suits everyone.

    Your comfort is also very important. As beautiful as the big dresses and high heels are, if you’re not going to be comfortable you won’t be happy. Consider what shoe you’d be comfortable in and how much restriction you can handle from your wedding dress.

    Don’t forget to take a step back and reflect. Unfortunately time seems to go so fast when you’re having fun so your big day will be over before you know it. Be sure to enjoy every single moment.

    Picture: Unsplash

    You and your partner are planning your big day or maybe you’re tagging along with a loved one for their wedding planning. The wedding planner is explaining how everything is going to look. They’re talking about black tie optional and how the bomboniere will have to match the charger and center pieces. What does it all mean?

    1. Appliqué

    This is needlework or various types of material such as lace that is sewn on to larger pieces of fabric. It’s usually for creating texture, to form a pattern or 3-D effect.


    2. Black Tie Optional

    This means that formal wear is optional. You have the option of dressing for the gods or not.

    6. Celebrant

    This is the person who officiates your wedding ceremony. It can be someone who is ordained, a judge or member of the clergy. This person will also sign your marriage certificates.


    7. Charger

    The awkward plate that you may see some people dishing up on. It’s just for decorative purposes. Your actual plate will be placed on top of the charger.

    8. Escort Card Display

    This display helps guests find their assigned seats.


    9. Fondant

    Fondue? Or the gooey chocolate cake-like dessert? Neither. Fondant is the edible thick paste made of sugar and water. It’s used to cover cakes and often used to create a canvas to work on. It can be made into various colours and shapes.


    10. Garland

    Basically decoration. It’s flowers or greenery that is used to embellish various things. You can add it to pretty much anything at your wedding from candles to doorways.


    11. Gobo lighting

    Have you ever seen patterns projected onto the floor or the wall at an event? Gobo is the stencil or template that is placed in front of a light to create the beautiful patterns and shapes you see. You and your partner can even have a gobo made with your monogram.


    12. Nosegay

    A nosegay is a small handheld bouquet of flowers. Usually held by bridesmaids. The name comes from back in the day when the nosegay was used to appeal to the nose. Directly translated it could mean nose-happy!


    13. Procession

    This is the entire procedure of the bridesmaids leading down the aisle and finally the bride.


    14. Tablescape

    Remember the charger? Used for table decoration. Tablescape is the entire table design. Everything including chargers, candles, flowers and various other embellishments. Your tablescape should make a statement and colour coordinate with the rest of the wedding or reception.

    Weddings can be quite costly, which is why micro weddings are becoming increasingly popular. Otherwise known as small weddings, these micro nuptials are not just smaller guest lists.

    It should consist of all the typical wedding elements: just on a smaller scale.

    Cutting the guest list down means that your wedding can be more intimate as it will only be your loved ones around. The ceremony duration is normally shorter. There is usually not a lot of bells and whistles involved. This cut back means that you can save quite a lot of money.

    Less people means that you can splurge on things that you wouldn’t be able to in bulk. For example, expensive champagne or snacks. Since you’re only catering for about 20 people you can afford to get those special things.

    The micro wedding will be less stressful as you’re planning your big day on a smaller scale. Since you’ll only have a few people it will also be less nerve racking and you’ll be able to connect with your guests more.

    Instead of having to mingle with over 50 people, your time can be divided among the few at your micro wedding.

    If you choose to have the smaller scale nuptials your venue options are also endless. You can try approaching your favourite restaurant or garden. Keep in mind even if a place doesn’t advertise hiring their venue for weddings they may be able to accommodate your micro wedding.

    Micro weddings are a great option and a good way to celebrate your wedding especially if you don’t have a lot of guests to invite.

    However it may not work if you want a wedding with everyone including your extended family and co-workers.

    It’s your nearest and dearests wedding coming up and you’ve been given a plus one. With no partner, you have to pick a lucky someone to accompany you to the big bash.

    It’s important to remember that it’s not just a plus one, but rather someone you know you can have fun with. The wedding is an important day for your loved ones as it sees the union of two people ready to tie the knot.

    So how do you choose the perfect partner to bring along?

    1. Respectful

    Aretha Franklin said it. The person you pick should be mannerly and respectful. You don’t want to pick someone that will talk during the ceremony and speeches. Or someone that may have their eyes glued to their phone rather than the wedding itself. Choose someone that will show their gratitude for being invited.

    2. Outgoing and fun

    Your date should be sociable and friendly. They should be able to hold a conversation and feel comfortable on their own, if you need to step away for some reason. Bonus is if they bring along some whit and charm.

    3. Bust a move

    They don’t need to be able to take part in Step Up or Shall We Dance? As long as they can move their feet and have a great time. You don’t want someone that’s afraid of dancing and will just at the table while everyone else dances.

    4. Moderate

    If there is alcohol involved, your partner should be able to handle their liquor. There is nothing worse than someone who had a bit too much to drink and is falling all over the place. Pick someone that won’t go overboard but knows how to have some fun.

    5. Independent

    Since it is your loved ones wedding, you will obviously know quite a few people. You’re going to have to mingle with everyone and there may be a few times throughout the night where you’ll need to excuse yourself from your partner. Hopefully they won’t just sit at the table or stand in the corner awkwardly. If they are on their own, they should be independent enough to know what to do with themselves.

    6. Smartly dressed

    It is a wedding and there’s normally a dress code. Your partner should dress accordingly. They should look great on your arm and should compliment what you wear.
