From working in the wedding industry, and from planning my own wedding a few years ago, I though I’d put together a post with my top ten helpful wedding blog posts I’ve read, which I think will be super useful if you’ve just got engaged and at the early stages of planning your wedding.
1. ROCK N ROLL BRIDE – OVERCOMING PLANING PROCRASTINATION
For any couple looking to gain confidence in planning their wedding their own way, this wedding blog is a must read. Kat is the most influencing wedding blogger out there and she sprays her rainbow love over everything she does. This post I think is particularly helpful to anyone planning their wedding, or not planning it and procrastination instead!
