If you're after a bit of glam for your big day, opting for a chic city wedding may be just the ticket. An industrial or city backdrop can add beautiful texture to photographs and make for an elegant, luxe quality.

Even before I was engaged I was doing this, which sounds very much like something Bridget Jones would have done, but as the owner of Mildred&Co I have at least had a valid excuse to do so. The only problem is that I...

So I am getting married in March this year and my fiance and I have only just started planning the wedding. Yes, that's right...we only have two months to somehow pull off an entire wedding. That's 58 days to be exact. This ridiculously short time frame is ironic, firstly because we have been engaged for nearly a year and a...
