Chic Vintage Bride – Joan Dowden
Today’s Chic Vintage Bride is the glamorous lady solely responsible for my obsession with all things vintage, is my inspiration, my hero and quite simply the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. She wasn’t a starlet of the big screen (although with those looks I am sure she could have been) or a member of any royal family and you…

Monique Lhuillier’s Sublime Spring 2013 Bridal Collection
Whilst we may always be able to rely on Vera Wang to push the boundary for bridal design (the queen of bridal couture will forever be the first choice for daring brides), there is one designer known for her ethereally beautiful, dreamily embellished and flawlessly tailored gowns and that is Monqiue Luillier. (For some reason that gown makes me…

Vera Wang’s Beautifully Bold Spring 2013 Bridal Collection

A Dreamy Daylesford Lavender Farm Wedding
One of the best things about doing CVB (apart from looking at endless beautiful wedding dresses) is sharing, all be it in a very small way, in one of the happiest days of a couple’s lives. Poring over images of the perfectly captured emotions of the day – the nerves, excitement, relief!, smiles, tears, joy, cheers, never fails to…

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…

Beautiful Bride and Bridesmaid’s Dresses from the Luscious Luisa Beccaria
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,…
