For me, having a vintage inspired wedding was about trying to create a look personal and unique to me – when I was younger I was adamant I would get married in black, so obviously my wedding was always destined to be unique! When planning our wedding I did consider challenging convention and going with…

Wow, wow and wow! I am not sure where to begin singing the praises of the subject of todays post, Letterpress experts and Wedding Stationery suppliers extraordinaire Bella Figura, there is nothing I don’t love about this company – from their incredible range, that includes a full suite of stationery and stunning designs (of over 200!); to…

 I have long loved the glamorous hair styles of the past – starting with the loose pin curls of the 1940s, who could not love the luscious locks of stars such as Rita Hayworth! But my all time favourite is the Finger Wave and Marcel Wave, so hugely popular in the 20s and 30s. So…
