While I have no plans to get married any time soon, I have noticed that weddings seem to be in vogue lately. After Stylist Magazine’s recent article, ‘Is Marriage Back in Fashion?’, they’ve also added a wedding blog to their website. And it seems that wedding planning is now all over the Internet – sites like Pinterest are letting people showcase their ideas like never before. In tribute to St David’s Day last week, I feel I should also mention new Welsh wedding blog Cwtch the Bride, which has stunned even me, the non-bride, with its beautiful photography. (My future sister-in-law also happens to contribute posts about her upcoming wedding, but that’s not the only reason I’m plugging it, honest!)

On a more literary note, I’ve discovered some book-themed weddings which while eccentric do, I must admit, look pretty fabulous. Take a look at this Alice in Wonderland themed wedding, for example, or these favour boxes which take the phrase ‘fairy-tale wedding’ to a new level:

With our recent publication of Bitter Greens, I’m now imagining a cool, slightly Gothic Rapunzel-themed wedding, and getting slightly too excited for someone who’s not that big on marriage. Is there anyone out there who’s planning/has attended a fantastically bookish wedding? I think we’d like to hear from you…
