I feel this way about pearl jewellery. So beautiful, yet so simple. Perfect for a wedding day, whether to wear or to gift. Emma’s designs are simply beautiful and she is based here in Leeds. Introducing Petit Bijoux.

Such an adorable engagement shoot on the blog today. Gorgeous photography and a riot of colour. I think everyone loves a seaside visit? The smell, the fish and chips, the cockles in little pots, the slot machines, the donkeys and oh the lights! Can you tell I spent my summers on the costa del Lincolnshire? Hope you enjoy. Michael and I are filming the next YouTube video this evening. Excited right?

When I get a wedding submission my thought process goes like this – “oooo flowers, pretty photographs, dress, happiness and love, more flowers, have I fed the dog today, I should email back straight away, where was the wedding, helloooo handsome wedding guest, menu looks nice, wish I had that bridesmaid’s figure, yup I will blog this”.
Just a small insight in to the workings of my mind. When I saw this wedding I had two thoughts “look how happy they are” and “I need to blog this”. It then just so happened that the flowers are beautiful and they are a super gorgeous couple. Putting this as delicately as possible, you often see couples of a certain age on wedding blogs. The pinterest type, the 20 something. I don’t care how old you are, if you have a beautiful, love filled wedding, I want to blog it.

Loving Natasha Jane‘s new collection! The new collection was unveiled at #2014unveiled, they are all very ‘Game of Thrones’. The collection is definitely for a bride looking for something different. And like Mark Francis said “unless you have a family tiara, you don’t wear one”. My favourite? I surprised myself actually as it is Rhea.

When Marta sent this in, she said I may not want it because it was a winter wedding. I don’t think anyone would turn this wedding away regardless of season. It is actually very refreshing to see a bride without a veil, I am not sure if you are currently going through the dilemma of veiling or not but I think Sarah’s choice not to veil works perfectly. I love the vintage silver theme running throughout and there is something very Kate Middleton about it all. I am totally smitten, Sarah oozes such elegance and style. Enjoy!! (I know you will)

A few of my instagrams – @phoebewedding
I have been meaning to write this post for a little while. I have written how to use twitter and pinterest to plan your wedding. I was recently with a few brides to be and we were discussing what social media they use whilst planning, if any. Most responded with Facebook and Twitter but one girl only uses instagram as she hates the spammy and ‘in your face’ nature of the others.
A gorgeous Yorkshire wedding on the blog today! I love Sajdah’s choice of gown, the detailing is utterly exquisite. Their 2 daughters were flowers girls, and their son gave Sajdah away. And as for the flowers! Mighty pretty. I also love any bride that puts her maids in black.

The Album People give you an absolutely wonderful option for all your photographic keepsakes. Even your great great grandparents’s can be added and digitalised and hopefully can be kept forever. I know that we have very few photos of my dad as a boy as a lot were destroyed in a house fire. Also, if you are reading this BACK UP YOUR IMAGES NOW.
