After chatting on twitter for a while, I finally had the chance at a networking evening organised by Louise from b.loved weddings to catch up in person with the very lovely Ciara Mullan who runs Dita Florita, an absolutely gorgeous new online shop selling stunning, one-of-a-kind original vintage wedding dresses. Ciara hand picks all the…
I love bridal shrugs. Jacket, bolero, shrug – a gorgeous accent piece that serves so many purposes. In winter, a soft (faux) fur jacket can keep you toasty and warm all day; in summer a delicate beaded shrug can cover bare arms in a church ceremony; and all year long, a sparkling, sequinned bolero can…

This past Saturday I was lucky enough to get a press pass to visit the Luxury Wedding Show in the Saatchi Gallery. The venue was beautifully light-filled, and the stands were spread across galleries over three floors , which made it very easy to lose yourself in all the loveliness… when I checked my watch I had…

This inspiration board captures the ethereal beauty of vintage lace in a number of lace bridal ideas as you don’t have to save lace for just your dress and veil……
I was so excited when Lisa Pitchford, from Lisa Pitchford Photography got in touch with me about this stunning wedding. Fay, the bride, is absolute vintage glam perfection in her drop-waist Jenny Packham satin dress, blond coiffe and bright red lips, and the setting at Makeney Hall is straight out of Jeeves and Wooster. Enjoy the beautiful photos…
Just like I had been neglecting my Budget Monday posts for a while, I have also been equally neglecting my Friday Indulgence posts! What can I say? I do humbly apologise, and promise to deliver lots of Friday Indulgence (yay! weekend!) and Budget Monday (boo! Monday!) from hence forth. In office speak: “going forward…” If…

Today’s Budget Monday pick is this stunning Pegasus Lace Dress which at only £150 is a bargain of a wedding dress. The lace dress skims the thigh and has gorgeous vintage beading along the neckline….
