Revolutionizing the Wedding Industry, One Blog at a Time.
Look- I’m not saying that traditional wedding dresses aren’t beautiful pieces of high-quality artisanship that are potentially game-changing for one’s self esteem. But the whole process of wedding dress shopping can be so alienating to a lot of people- most often to those with bigger bodies, disabilities, and trans & non-binary folks. Even those with…
I love flowers. Honestly, I do. But they’re so de rigueur for weddings. And seeing celebrants and their wedding parties walk down the aisle holding bundles of flowers can get kind of unexceptional after a while. I get it- there’s an established tradition that says you have to carry something (usually flowers) on your way…
Why are people so judgmental when it comes to unconventional wedding choices? When I was doing a little research for today’s post, I came across a lot of forum results. Couples who were trying to be strategic, creative, or proactive about solving a problem or putting together a wedding that worked for them were put…
Let me set the scene, here: You just got married. You’re sitting with your new spouse(s) at your reception. Dinner has just been served, and you’re ravenous because you haven’t eaten in ages (possibly since yesterday).

I bring you a list of TEN alternative beverages to serve both yourselves and your guests. You may find some of…
We see a lot of bridal accessories marketed out there. Jewellery, tiaras, veils, sashes, purses, hair adornments, teeny tiny crystals that you can stick on your nails or your face…What I want to know is, where are all the accessories for grooms? Or anyone choosing to wear a suit? How is a market with so…
Look, I love a good bouquet as much as the next person. Big, beautiful, fragrant arrangements of flowers just make me happy. I can’t help it. But unless you’re taking your chances with the selection at the nearest grocery store, flowers are expensive. Your average, traditional bridal bouquet will usually run you anywhere from one…
The fine jewellery industry isn’t historically known for being ethical or eco-friendly. Metals and stones are often mined with child or slave labour, or in ways that create a lot of collateral damage in the environment. Admittedly, the jewellery industry as a whole has been improving: consumers have been demanding better, making “Ethical” extremely marketable.…
I have a lot of opinions and feelings and beliefs about weddings. And one thing I truly, honestly, deeply believe, down into the very core of my being, is this: People who think theme weddings are tacky can sod right off. Theme weddings are fun! They give you opportunities to be creative in very specific…
