After­noon! I’m still run­ning to my bank hol­i­day clock, so Fri­day came as a bit of a sur­prise this week — but I’ve still got a lovely list of wed­ding plan­ning links to share with you, stored up from my favourite wed­ding blog posts of the last week or two. Hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

• I spent ages typ­ing a reply to this blog post on my iPad, then pressed the wrong but­ton and lost it! A great post though, and for the record I think Twitter’s a poor cousin to Pin­ter­est and face­book these days. Twit­ter, Twat­ter… Whatever.
