You know those weeks where you can’t remember what day it is? This oddly short week has left the patterned people rather like that – especially as we live in different parts of the world. Yet somehow, in the midst of it all we got a little merry with the first of our festive season gift guides. Hooray for checking the list!

We have had such a jam-packed week of wedding inspiration across the blogs this week. Let’s round it up!

It is a big week next week as cross our everything for the same-sex marriage result and one thing we have loved about this time is the campaigns that have celebrated equal love. One that you need to check out is by  Australian Jeweller, Mondial by Nadia Neuman who worked with a team to create an “All Love Is Equal” campaign (see more here). and on their Instagram account. 10% of sales from Mondial by Nadia Neuman’s collection of Wedding bands donated to the charity Headspace (they even released a special marriage equality ring).
