Pastels was one of my picks of the top wedding trends for the coming year and when you see pretty celebrations such as this outdoor Alabama affair captured by Baylee Rae , it is easy to see why! Pastels are perfect for a Spring or Summer wedding – and with Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue Pantone’s colours…

I am not usually one to follow the latest fashion fads and whims, but it has been hard not to be completely smitten with the trends that flavoured weddings throughout 2015! We saw one of my all time favourite colours Marsala set the wedding world alight with its rich red tones; grooms embraced their inner style maven and ditched the…

I have been seeing lots of lovely new visitors to the site since New Year and much as Mr E would like to think it is all thanks to the swanky new look he gave CVB, I have a sneaky suspicion a lot of you became engaged over the holidays! Congratulations lovelies, what wonderful news!! At this…

A wedding described as ‘vintage in pastels with a high tea reception’ is my idea of perfection, but that is just the start of the loveliness of today’s English Countryside inspired wedding from Jac & Heath Photography…… Add to the high tea reception, the quaintest venue, a marquee decked out in DIY bunting, a rainbow wedding…

I am sure I have mentioned before how I love a styled shoot. They give the vendors involved a creative freedom that, understandably, isn’t always available to them when they are working on your wedding; and this creative freedom inevitably results in something unforgettable. Today’s beauty from Claire Morgan and A Very Beloved Wedding is the perfect example…

It has become something of a tradition to share an inspiration board on New Year’s Eve and if we’re talking New Year’s Eve, then there must be an abundance of gold, glitter and glamour! After last year’s alternative colour palette that was the perfect mix of glitz and romance, I have chosen a beautifully classic…

I haven’t done one of these for a while, but today I have a very special Chic Vintage Bride for you all…… You may remember my beautiful Nan, whose wedding I shared some time ago now, well this lovely lady is her daughter, and my Mum! And that handsome man stood next to her is of course…

Happy holidays, lovelies! I am sure that several of you are waking up and opening new sparklers this morning – if you are one of those lucky ladies, congratulations!! Be sure to spend some time basking in the glow before you even start to think about wedding planning, there will be plenty of time for all that, after…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And when it comes to seasonal decor I am a traditionalist at heart (if you hadn’t already guessed from yesterday’s inspiration board!) It just isn’t Christmas for me without holly, mistletoe, candles and cardis; and all in bright yuletide shades of red, green and gold. Luckily that’s…

Just 2 more sleeps until Christmas!! And, for the third year in a row, I am celebrating Christmas Eve’s Eve with the perfect Winter wedding inspiration board. This year in my favourite Yuletide colour scheme, a beautifully traditional colour palette of red, green and gold….. 1 ~ My Fotolog, 2 ~ Exchange Events Catering photography by…

Elegant vintage styling, fine art photography and an opulent colour palette of Marsala are all things guaranteed to give me butterflies, but when you combine these things into one inspiration shoot, well it becomes my idea of heaven! Today’s shoot from Verona Lain Photography harks back to a time when love blossomed under the watchful eye of a…

If there is one thing I miss, living in New Zealand, (other than robins and foxes) it would be the history we are so lucky to have on our doorstep in Europe; and today’s wedding from Claire Morgan reminded me why! Bride and Groom Christina & Stefan were lucky enough to exchange their vows in front…

You might remember a mention I made a few weeks ago about an exciting exclusive?? Well, today I am thrilled to be bringing you that exclusive – the first glimpse of the beautiful new Spring 2016 collection of bridal hair accessories and jewelry from Elizabeth Bower!! And let’s just say that if you’re still looking…

Your engagement session is the perfect opportunity to introduce your wedding theme! With the right location, a splash of floral styling, a few thoughtful details and of course some swanky new outfits, that make you and your beloved feel amazing; you can get some all important practice being in front of the camera, create some beautiful memories…

It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here! Last night Mr E and I decorated our tree and today I placed our first presents beneath its branches – only 9 more sleeps to go, and I can not wait. Less so for the presents, as for the quiet time with family, relaxing and…
