Hi, we’re Christina and Alex (yes, that’s really us in the photo), a married couple living in Europe and the two people behind HandsomeWedding.
How HandsomeWedding started
We got married in 2022. In October 2023 we published our first articles: a guide to doing your own wedding flowers for under $200, four ways to set up a DIY wedding table, and ten hair tips every bride should know. Since then the site has grown to more than 200 articles.
What you’ll find here
- Wedding ideas and themes – bridal shower themes, color palettes, backdrops and decor ideas.
- Planning – timelines, checklists and wedding-day itineraries, like our 10-month planning timeline.
- Venues – how to choose a venue and the questions to ask before you sign.
- Dresses and hair – bridesmaid and guest dresses for fall and winter weddings, and bridal hairstyles for short, medium and curly hair.
- Games and quotes – newlywed game and shoe game questions, plus anniversary wishes.
- Tips – maid-of-honor speeches, card wording, bridesmaid duties, date ideas and marriage advice.
We write for couples planning their wedding, for bridesmaids and guests who want to know what to wear, and for married couples who want to keep celebrating long after the big day.
A few good places to start
- Wedding Planning Timeline: 10 Months – a month-by-month checklist if your date is less than a year away.
- How To Choose a Wedding Venue (23 Tips) and 66 Questions To Ask Your Wedding Venue – read these before you sign anything.
- Small Backyard Wedding Ideas on a Budget – for an intimate, affordable celebration at home.
- How to Do Your Own Wedding Flowers for Under $200 – one of our very first articles.
- Wedding Shoe Game: Questions + Free Printable – an easy, fun game for the reception.
Who we are
- Christina – weddings are her hobby. She loves the planning and the little details, and can spot a misplaced flower from a mile away. Baking is her other hobby – she learned it from her grandmother – and she’s the founder of Dessert Daily, our recipe site.
- Alex – writes the articles and runs the website. Building websites is also his day job.
How we use AI
We choose every topic ourselves. AI helps us with the first draft of our articles. The facts are ours: we read and edit every article ourselves before it goes live.
