It has been noticeably nippier this week – I think its time to for the winter quilt! I love Autumn – and not just for its obvious beauty, but also for the comforting food (we made a sherry rice pudding this week!), cosy nights in and extra snuggles, cuddles and lay-ins its the perfect excuse…

Oh gosh I have serious envy over the exquisitely embellished shoes of today’s bride and I just love the way sunshine streams into every single one of the beautiful images from this elegant hunter valley wedding! The man behind the lens is James Frost, an epicly brilliant photographer (from good ol’ blighty originally…. no I’m not biased, just proud to meet another one making it…

There are so many reasons I love Pinterest (currently I am using it to plan my blossoming sister-in-laws baby shower and to find potential destinations for the honeymoon that Mr E and I will one day have) but equally importantly it is a constant source of, well this is going to state the obvious but,…

How is everyone? Glad it’s Friday? Silly question! 🙂 Being Friday, here are my pick of this week’s posts…… 1. I simply could not resist sharing this fairytale Miami wedding on Style Me Pretty – with my love of brooch bouquets and the fabulous colour palette captured perfectly by photographer  Jessica Lorren (Organic Photography)…… 2. If you haven’t…

Teasing and tempting little peeks of the new Baz Luhrman Great Gatsby film, being made next door in Australia, have started to appear on the world wide web and I for one can not wait!

It’s Friday (I can almost hear the chorus of woo hoos) and before breaking for a relaxing weekend with Mr E, it is time for me to share my pick of this week’s blog posts….. 1. I couldn’t start with anything other than one of the most luxuriously beautiful weddings ever to have graced the wide world…

I have something of a CVB first for you today – today’s real wedding is the first from New Zealand! I can’t believe it…. it doesn’t seem possible…… we all know Kiwi brides, grooms, photographers and wedding planners can do chic, elegant, vintage/whimsical/retro weddings as well as our dear neighbours (if not better :-)) and yet it’s…

I am shocked and dismayed that I have only managed two posts this week, but please don’t think I am just being slack, I promise that’s not the case – I have been busy working on future posts including the sweetest treat of a real wedding for Monday and a rather fabulous (even if I do…

My has this week whizzed by – I only hope the weekend doesn’t do the same! 1. We kicked off the week Sunday with the Oscars – and we all know the red carpet is a great place for bride’s and bridesmaid’s dress inspiration. Polka Dot Bride‘s Red Carpet Style highlighted the stand out gowns by colour…… Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji…

Now I may be slightly biased, as she is the lady that made me feel like a goddess/screen siren/starlet on our wedding day, but for me Jenny Packham is and always will be THE bridal designer for glamorous cuts, glittering details and gorgeous vintage inspired dresses.  I adore Jenny’s attention to detail, all the beautiful beading and embellishment sewed…
