Today is my favourite day of the year…because to day is my BIRTHDAY! I’m 27 today and I know people say this every year, but I feel old…old and very grown up! This last year has been pretty mental and my life has been flipped on it’s head in the last 12 months, but I’ve got a feeling that this next year is going to be even better. Who’s with me?

Because of this day of celebration, this week’s Thursday Treats is a little shorter than usual. In essence, today I plan to mostly be found eating ice cream and sushi (not together though…), opening presents (I hope), going shopping (undoubtedly) and generally treating myself a lot (no question.)

So see you tomorrow my lovelies and I hope you enjoy these special birthday treats!

♥ Brooklyn promenade wedding
♥ The Barbie Bridal Collection {Lifesize!} – every little girls dream and actually quite Rock n Roll in their own way.
♥ A Community Event Wedding
♥ Forget the candy bar, the Spud Bar is where it’s at!
♥ Neeve & Justin’s New York Wedding
♥ Kate Spade has just launched a new bridal line in the US – Wedding Belles (and Whistles)
♥ Incredible SA day after shoot – I love her dress!
♥ Jennifer & Rolanda’s Hot Vintage Same Sex Wedding
♥ Carmen Dell’Orefice was on the cover of Vogue in 1947. Sixty-four years later, she’s still as fabulous as ever
♥ Beautiful ‘In Bloom’ photo shoot – perfect inspiration for spring brides and utterly stunning dresses

And in other news…

♥ Looking for a totally awesome wedding fair? One that will offer you something new and exciting? Well be sure to check out Alter-ed, a brand new event hosted by the adorable Alexis of OMG I’m Getting Married and Mary Lee Herrington of Forever & Ever Events on Wednesday April 20th. Alter-ed is being held at Dartmouth House in London and is set to be one of the most unique wedding shows of the year. With some of my utter favourite wedding suppliers exhibiting, I’m certainly not going to miss out!

For more information check out the Alter-ed website. Tickets to this fabulous event are available by emailing engaged@altar-ed.com. I look forward to meeting many of you there!

♥ You know what? This is one royal wedding commemorative item I can actually get behind, I love tea! A blend of White Tea, Bergamot flavouring and Rose Petals – very regal indeed.

♥ And finally, an appeal for help on behalf on my friend Dana of The Broke Ass Bride.

Dana has Chronic autoimmune diseases that requires frequent surgery on her eyes. Because of this she’s had 11 operations in the past 9 years and needs regular ongoing care. Unlike us lucky Brits, medical care is not free in the US…and it actual fact it’s really bloody expensive. She recently found out that her disease had come out of remission and she needed her 12th surgery. This alone will cost her $18,000.

Please read her post and if you can help in any small way by donating or taking part in her Dishing for Dana fund raiser I know it would mean the world to her. Thank you.

    (Is there really any other way to do a birthday?!)

    P.S. I’m a new follower to your blog- found you through Miss Twinkie Chan, and I’ve gotta say- I’ve been married for a bit now, but all of these gorgeous photos are making me want to do it all over again! Or at least get some awesome couple photos taken….
    Such inspiration!
    I’m Jenny, by the way. Nice to meet you! 🙂
