Apologies for the short post but I’m hosting a girly weekend and thought this was the perfect time to put my newly acquired (invented) housewife skills to the test; cookies, cakes and beef wellington…this is going to need all my concentration! Crisps, houmous and wine are my back up/chef’s snack. 

Happy weekending. 

A headpiece could be the thing that you are missing for your day and these ones from Debbie Carlise cater for vintage sparkles and flowers in both statement pieces and more delicate ones. Whether it’s for all day or just to lift you ‘evening look’, these headpieces are the perfect accessory. 

These images are from the 2013 collection and my personal favourites are Violet and Lottie. 

Debbie Carlisle also designs jewelled bouquets which are worth a look if you want something different.

If a Vera Wang gown isn’t enough to lure you into this wedding, it is also full of DIY ideas, bright colours, vintage touches and (my personal favourite) a Jenga guestbook. The whole wedding day ended in a trip for all to the bowling alley…bride in bowling shoes…how awesome is that? 

Captured by Cathy More Photography she tells us more about the day,

Jamie is a graphic designer and Brian is a car guy. Jamie is all about awesome so the whole day was filled with things like “the best day ever” and during the ceremony, “will you take Jamie to be your awesome wife?”

Jamie handmade all of the paper flowers for the tables, the bridesmaids bouquet and her own bouquet as well. Her dress was by Vera Wang while the bridesmaids wore Modcloth dresses. 

The altar was a salvage fireplace backed with ribbon and place cards hung from a salvaged door. After the ceremony they had a restored Ford as a getaway car. They served a breakfast buffet for dinner and ended the night with limo rides to the bowling alley for an after-hours celebration. Her DIY and design work is throughout the wedding: flowers, place cards, table gift, altar.
