We’re having a birthday… so forgive me for not actually being here right now as you read the blog! I’m either baking myself a Hungry Caterpillar birthday cake, skipping along the beach singing happy birthday to myself or pouring champagne on my coco pops right now (depending on the weather). Anyway, I thought I’d take the opportunity to share some of the best wedding blogs I’ve been reading over the last few weeks with you. Ready? Enjoy! Oh, and happy birthday everyone! Claire xxx

Advice and opinion
- 10 wedding blunders to avoid — usually I disagree loudly with this type of wedding blog article, but this one has my vote. There’s one heeyuge blunder they’ve missed — but I’ll share that one with you at a later date. The ones they’ve included are all pretty valid and also easily done. Recommended reading!
