There’s nothing you can’t find on the web these days, and when it comes to finding information and inspiration to help you plan your wedding, it can be a very useful tool. We’re not saying you should only use the internet when beginning to plan your wedding. Traditional methods like wedding magazines are still an important tool, and of course, your mum will always be a wealth of knowledge (and whatever you do, don’t tell her otherwise – mums ALWAYS know best!). Your married friends are no doubt full of helpful advice as well. But if you feel as though you’re lacking in inspiration, then the web can be a great starting point, allowing you everything from access to wedding photos to directories of the best photographers, wedding planners or cake makers. So, this is the modern girl’s guide to planning her wedding, and we’ve done some research to find the best websites to help you plan your dream big day.

To be honest, I didn't believe I would ever get hitched again - once married, twice shy, and got that t-shirt - you move on with your life older and wiser (maybe less of the older!) Being a wedding planner I live out my creativity and dreams through my client’s excitement and delivering them a spectacular day. Alas this was not to be and my gorgeous man (now fiancé) proposed to me with the help of our children on Christmas day. Let me tell you, I didn’t know he had it in him. Pass the parcel had been carefully executed with a box for each of the children to signify their blessing of my engagement ring, until it got down to the last box when he proposed. I was speechless, and that doesn’t usually happen! It took me about 5 minutes to say yes and so let the planning begin for our own special day.
