the story behind the diary

Thoughtful wedding planning, from someone who's done it right.

My Wedding's Diary is a resource built on one belief: every couple deserves planning advice that is elegant, honest, and genuinely useful — not recycled trends dressed up as inspiration.

Hazel, founder and editor of My Wedding's Diary

Founder & Editor

Hazel

Hazel founded My Wedding's Diary to give couples the kind of guidance she wished she'd had: considered, well-researched, and grounded in what actually works on a wedding day — not just what photographs well.

With a background rooted in editorial styling and hands-on event planning, she brings a trained eye to every guide on this site, from bridal style to budget breakdowns. Every article is built the same way a real wedding is: with intention, structure, and an eye for detail.

Her approach is simple — research thoroughly, write honestly, and never publish advice she wouldn't give a close friend.

our editorial standards

How We Work

Researched, Not Recycled

Every guide is built from current bridal trends, real weddings, and hands-on planning experience — never filler written to fill a page.

Every Budget, Respected

We pair splurge-worthy ideas with accessible alternatives, because a beautiful wedding is a matter of intention, not just spend.

Transparent, Always

If a post contains an affiliate link, we say so clearly. Our recommendations are never influenced by what pays — only by what works.

Kept Current

Bridal trends move quickly. We regularly review and refresh our most-read guides so the advice you find here stays accurate.

Let's plan something beautiful.

New guides are published every week. Follow along for real weddings, honest advice, and ideas worth saving.
