Wedding Wednesday: Beautiful Headbands

Miss Ruby Sue

I love headbands! I would wear them every day if I could. However if anyone can pull them off, its children! If I was having flower girls at my wedding, I would make them wear these head bands by Miss Ruby Sue. Maybe I could try and persuade my little second cousin Merryn to wear one? Not sure how long it will last.... 10 seconds possibly?

Wedding Wednesday: Dorset Vintage Wedding Fair

You are in for a treat, if you live in the surrounding areas of Dorset. I was contacted by an old work colleague who was also my manager, Sarah who runs Sarah-Leigh's Style Files about the up and coming Dorset Vintage Wedding Fair that she is helping organise. Like me, she is a bride to be, and thought this event might be of interest to me. Which it is, and thought I would share this news with you.

This event sounds right up my street. This is the second edition of the fair, and is set to be bigger and better. This fair will be full of bespoke suppliers and has something for everyone by the sounds of it. I am a huge fan of weddings being unique to the couple, and showing off the couple's personality. Whether you are newly engaged and you are looking for inspirations, or like me you are finalising the last details and want to buy a few bits and pieces to finish off your day, then I think this event could be for you.

Whether you are after bunting, a cake maker, a milliner, a dress or a venue! Then this is the one stop shop for you! 

A little birdie (called Sarah) told me to keep an eye on the Dorset Vintage Wedding Fair's facebook page and twitter account, as they will be giving away tickets to the event! So keep your eyes peeled!

The event is going be held on March 25th between 10am and 4pm at the beautiful and unique venue 'The Roman Forte'.

I hope to see you there, however you might find me in the tea shop... I am a sucker for tea & cake!

Wedding Wednesday: What Makes Love True

I stumbled across this beautiful 'behind the scenes' video that Garance Doré & The Sartorialist  (husband and wife!) put together for Tiffany's & Co. This is for Tiffany & Co.'s 'What Makes True Love' campaign! I am a huge fan of Garance's illustrations, so its lovely to see her directing style!

I love the scene of the two of them in bed with their Mac's!! The life of a blogger duo hey!

I love wedding video's. I actually turn into an emotional wreck, when I watch other peoples videos on wedding blog's! God know's how I will react at mine and Alex's wedding!  As much as we love them, it is one thing that me and the boy can not stretch to in our budget!! Boo! I promise to show you my favourite videographers soon!

How is everyone's week going? I am in the midst of a big project, which is taking up a lot of my time, so the blog has been put on hold for a few days. I just seem to be working, eating, and sleeping! However part 2 of 3 on the project is complete, and it is just the technical packs to go now, once the client has signed off the designs! The nerve wracking bit! ha

Wedding Wednesday (on a Thursday!)

Ok, I know!! It isn't Wednesday. Would you believe me if I said I was busy?? No thought not! However this will be worth the wait. I swear that this wedding is going to do the rounds in the blogosphere world due to its AMAZINGNESS!! This is the wedding of James & Aubrey! Aubrey is the owner of the Bleubird Vintage blog

This wedding is truly beautiful! The bride is stunning, the groom is handsome, and her bridesmaids are beautiful to! Look at their little pug to!! The decor is to just die for! And before you question yourself, are they feathers hanging from the ceiling in the barn?! YES! Sooo beautiful and unique! I think this might truly be the most beautiful and unique wedding I have seen in the past two years of being engaged and researching, which is a truly hard feat!! Even though I don't know this couple, you just know that this day reflects who they are as a couple and as a family!

You can see the rest of her photographs over on her blog.... yes there is a part 1 & 2! Your eyes are in for a treat ;)

Wedding Wednesday: Our Wedding Invitations

Seeing as it is 'Wedding Wednesday', I thought I would share mine and Alex's wedding invitations that I designed from scratch. It can be very handy being a designer sometimes! I absolutely love stationery, so I enjoyed every stage of designing our wedding invitations. As you can see our wedding colours are yellow & grey.

What you see above is the English day invitation.... yes you heard right! We had FOUR different versions of these invitations.  A day and evening for our English guests, and a day and evening for our French guests. Nothing like extra work for yourself! Luckily we are having quite a small wedding.... if we were having around 100 guests, I might of locked myself away for a few days afterwards! However to keep things slightly less confusing, the evening invitations were the opposite colour ways, so when we packaged them all up, we knew we were sending the right invitations out to the right people!

Seeing as grey can be quite a 'flat' colour, I made sure each slip had a different pattern on them, so that when they sat next to each other in the envelope, it wasn't a swarm of grey! We wanted something that was unique and individual to portray 'us' and the feel of our wedding. Me and Alex loved the way our invitations turned out.

Wedding Wednesday: Down Hair Styles

Sources: See my Pinterest

I am still on the hunt to find the hair style I want to have for mine and Alex's wedding. I do feel like I am narrowing down the styles I like though so that's a start. I naturally have wavy hair, so I feel one of the above styles would suit my hair type the most!

The countdown is really on now, it is 4 months and 1 day until the big day! It feels like me and Alex have been waiting forever for this day, that all of a sudden it is creeping up on us! It has now been over two years since we got engaged, which means two years of planning this day! Its crazy to think of the effort and time that goes into planning a wedding! I would never of thought it before!

I am back home in Devon this weekend to pick up my bridesmaids to see if they fit. I can't wait to see them all together! It will make everything start to come together!
