Va & Joy's country house vintage prettiness


It's not often that a London planner gets to go to Wales to style a wedding so I jumped at the chance to be involved in Joy & Va's wedding. Over glasses of wine way earlier in the year we worked together to create the feminine vintage look Joy wanted to achieve.



I had lots of fun acting as florist for the day, filling these and all the bottles and vases in the main dining room (which also happened to be my props).


The biggest issue of the day was working out whether to keep the ceremony outside or bring it into the entrance hall of the house. I knew Joy really wanted it outside but the Welsh weather was being true to form and spitting ominously! We literally debated for most of the morning but thankfully luck was on our side and it held off. Hurrah.











O&C Photography captured Joy & Va's day absolutely beautifully. For the full set of images check out their blog here. Unfortunately I'd done the style set up and left before they arrived but I can certainly attest that Charis is one of the warmest, sweetest people I've 'met' in through Twitter and in weddings. So if you're getting married in Pembrokeshire, Wales or anywhere in the UK really you should definitely consider booking O&C Photography.

Alix and Zach gothic glam wedding

Alix hired me to help her pull some styling elements together in the last couple of months and also to set up the decoration on the day. As soon as I heard her plans I knew this was a wedding I wanted to work on, and when I heard Lisa Devlin was shooting it I was even happier! I love Lisa's style (see here for another wedding we worked on together).





















Alix was the kind of client wedding planners dream of. Not just because she was so creative but because she was also so organised and just so nice!

Antoinette meets Austen inspired shoot

When I started working as a wedding planner and stylist I had no idea that within a couple of years I'd get to work with some crazy creative people and work on projects like this shoot.

The idea was to create something evocative and atmospheric rather than detail heavy, and pretty much as soon as I decided on the concept -   two brides, Antoinette, Austen and gorgeous English country gardens - I already knew who I wanted to work with.

And let's just say they did not disappoint! See the end of the post for supplier details, but in the meantime...

Rain rain go away

A taster from a wedding we styled back in June and shot by the very talented and super nice O&C Photography My lasting memory from this wedding will be the 'will we, won't we' game we played with the rain and the outdoor blessing under the loveliest tree.

Why don't we see more...

..... beautiful same sex engagement shoots and weddings? They must be out there and I for one would like to see more of them gracing the pages of blogs.

This shoot is so charming and sweet. And the couple Naomi and Rachel eloped right after this, which is rather romantic.

Head to 100 Layer Cake for the full shoot and details.


Happy Monday folks!

Speccy love

I wear glasses, well contact lenses most of the time. Without them I am bliiiind. And I like rocking the spec look from time to time.

I don't think I'd be bold enough to wear them on my wedding day though. They make me feel too self conscious.

Which is why I think these girls are super awesome for rocking their specs with serious style.

What about you? Did you/would you wear your glasses on your big day?

To veil or not to veil?

 I always used to think veils were kind of old fashioned and not in a good way. Now I've just about come full circle. 

Last week's shoot featured the most exquisite French lace veil and there's something so ethereal and wondrous about a veil done right. 

Which these beauties from Twigs & Honey definitely are. Shot by Elisabeth Messina which of course makes them even more beautiful, who could fail to be moved by these lighter than light creations.





Which one's your favourite? Think it's the last one does it for me, something about those rhinestones.
