With getting married this year, I'm in the ideal position to compose my ‘Modern Girl’s Guide to Fabulousness: Weddings’ – taking the concept of my book and creating a little black book for the best wedding suppliers, products, places and treatments around.
This will translate into an online diary here on this website and a video diary on my You Tube channel (see below for address), presenting only the most fabulous wedding related treats and experiences.
As it is a Modern Girl’s Guide – it will cover the most advanced beauty treatments and cosmetics that REALLY work, tried and tested – along with fitness classes to get brides looking their best, cool brands and finishing touches – everything from the ring to the cake toppers plus a ‘Q&A’ facility where brides-to-be can set me challenges.
Pieces of this guide will also feature on www.stylebible.com and www.bookshelfboyfriend.com
If you have any products, places or services you would like to submit for consideration or any questions you would like me to tackle, send me a message on the 'links and sign up' page!
See the 'Guide 2 Fabulous' page for the start of this wonderful wedding guide.
