Engagement Shoot in the Autumn Leaves - Stephanie...
These stunning pictures of Stephanie and Dan’s engagement shoot come from FlickFoto Photography via Two Bright Lights. They were captured in the beautiful Valley Forge National Park and they make me want to go and run through piles of yellow autumn leaves (whilst attempting to be as photogenic as this couple) …I will of course have to wait quite a few months before that is even...

Stationery - Vintage Birdcages
I love vintage birdcages, almost as much as I love lanterns!
I think that they look awesome as part of your stationary, especially if you are planning on using them throughout your day.
Here are some of my favourite birdcage inspired stationery ideas:
Wedding Paper Divas
Lucy Ledger
Ditsy Chic
Cherry Gorgeous
Big Tree Stationery

The Perfect Easter Weekend - Kari & Cullen
This is a truly beautiful wedding captured by Alex & Natalie Nelson Photography and comes all the way from Madison, Wisconsin in the USA. It is a day bursting with personal touches and bright colours. I especially love Kari’s purple shoes. And the tulips for bridemaid’s bouquets. And the umbrella shot. And the tulips on the cake….the list goes on!
The winning shot has got...

Don't rain on my parade...
I know that for many brides the worry of rain on their wedding day is enough to give them sleepless nights and a near on clinical addition to checking the weather reports. It can be at the root of most wedding day stress – in England even in the middle of summer you need to have thought about the dreaded ‘wet weather plan’. Unlike tropical, warm, short blasting rain, the kind of downpour we...

Full of Engagement Laughter - Clarissa & Tyson
This engagement shoot was submitted by FlickFoto Photgraphy and is one of the happiest shoots I have seen. Sarah from FlickFoto describes the day as, ”I have never worked with clients who smiled as much as Clarissa & Tyson. It made it ever more fun for me as their engagement session photographer, to work with them. There were no cheesy or fake smiles—just laughter and love. The...

War Paint Engagement Shoot
This has to be up there as one of the best and original engagement shoots ever! I am lucky enough to have been submitted it by DwJohnson Studio.
A few words from the groom on their inspiration, “We were sitting around one day talking about movies and realized we both love the movie “Ten things I hate about you”. We talked about the scene where the 2 main characters are...

A weekend by the beach - Emily & Jesse
This stunning wedding from DwJohnson Studio will surely make you beam like I did when I first laid eyes on it. Does it get more romantic than a beach backdrop with neutral shades in your childhood holiday destination? No, I didn’t think so either.
So, without further ado, a few words from the bride Emily,“We decided to get married in Cape Cod because...

Spring weddings - what to wear?
As a guest to two weddings in the next few months I have been busy thinking about what to wear…cue mini tantrum when I stand in front of my wardrobe flapping my arms and despairing that ‘I have nothing to wear’. But seriously, I don’t have anything to wear.
Well, maybe I could recyclea bracelet or some shoes or even a dress at a push but it is still always fun to...

Honeymoons - Oman
If you fancy celebrating married life in the desert then Oman is a great place to check out.
Perfect for winter sun, Oman offers Bedouin tradition in its forts as well as traditional shopping in the Mutrah Souq in Muscat. Add to that the backdrop of the jagged mountain ranges and unspoilt beaches and you’ll find yourself in desert heaven.
There are some amazing hotels to explore and spend...

Signature Cocktails...
Serving your favourite cocktail at your wedding reception is a brilliant way to get an extra piece of ‘you’ into the wedding. I love cocktails and we decided rather early on that a cocktail hour is never enough so we will be having ‘cocktail 2 hours’ for our reception in August. So now, all we need is to decide which cocktails to serve.
Some ideas…

Honeymoons - Rome
If you’re planning on a city honeymoon then is there a city which offers as much to explore as Rome? You can tick off one of the seven wonders of the modern world if you visit the Colosseum. Visit the smallest country in the world in the Vatican City. See countless famous art works in the Capitoline Museum. And that’s before we even get to the food….
Here are some of my...
