When you're trying to decide who you want in your wedding party there are dozens of conflicting priorities to consider:
Should your sister be your maid of honour (family before all else)?
Should your squad be all women (or at least female identifying)?
Should all of your bridesmaids wear the same dress?
At Unbridely, we believe that your wedding should not only look good but FEEL awesome too.
We believe that choosing your bridesmaids (or bridesdudes, bridesmen, wedding party, wedding squad, team <YOUR NAME HERE>) should fill you with a sense of excitement, gratitude and love.
Once you've got a draft list of your candidates, ask yourself these key questions before you start proposing;
Assembling your bridesmaids, your ‘i do crew’, or your ‘ride or die’ to support and cheer you on for your big day (and all the festivities that come before and after it) is one of the funniest (totally a word) parts of planning your wedding.
As an engaged person, everyone is loving on you and your financé most of the time. But this is the moment you get to say to your squad: “you are my world and I can’t do this without you”. You want your people to feel appreciated, honoured and valued when you ask them to be in your wedding party.
To truly personalise your ‘will you be my bridesmaid’ gifts, and hopefully save a little money in the process, going DIY is a great option.
One of the most exciting, and sometimes nail-biting, parts of planning your wedding will be deciding who will be in your bridal party (just the girls) or wedding party (if you choose a mix of your fav people).
While some couples have known since kindergarten who will be in their wedding party, others are making choices based on practicality, budget, distance, how many guests will be invited and the formality of their plans. There's a lot to consider!
Once you've finally landed on your people, if you're struggling with the perfect way to propose to your future bridesmaids, groomsmen or wedding party, we’re here to help!

I hear (read!) wedding photographers chatting amongst themselves on social media and when I notice the same topics come up time and time again, I write a blog post about it.

So here are some of the hot-button subjects at the moment and expert tips to help you to form a better relationship with your wedding photographer and in the end, get better photos.
2017s big trends reach back into the past for inspiration (as all the best ones do!), drawing from classic lace accents, vintage color palettes and even 70s styling and bold floral patterns. Texture will play a huge role in the new styles in the form of embellishments like sequins, lace, ruffles and pleats.
There is definitely something for every woman in the bridesmaid’s dress trends for 2017..
