Thursday Treats: Magazines and Models

Kat

August 27, 2015

The week has been all about the two M's... magazines and models! We took delivery of 1000 copies of the magazine and Gareth has been packing and preparing them for shipping out to those that pre-ordered early next week! While our living room might resemble a warehouse right now (boxes, magazines and pink envelopes as far as the eye can see!) I am still soooo excited about it! The mag officially goes on sale NEXT THURSDAY (3rd) so if you'd prefer to pop down to your local WHSmiths to pick up your copy you can do so then!

Victorian-Inspired Burning Man Wedding

Michelle & Damien

August 27, 2015

There was a bit of a problem when I received Neysa and Kevin's wedding submission. I was convinced they couldn't be real people. I mean, have you ever seen a couple so attractive in your entire life? Add that to the fact that they probably had one of the coolest weddings I've ever seen and I was 100% convinced that this must be some kind of staged shoot.

Shell de Mar

August 26, 2015

Over the past few weeks Sophie and I have been beavering away behind the scenes coming up with new ideas and designs for our next collaboration (you can see our past ones here and here!) We quickly realised that while we've now pretty much got the colourful bridal headpiece market covered, there is still something very much missing in weddingland: Quirky yet affordable veils.

August 25, 2015

Nel and Matt were married in a restored 600 year old gate house at the edge of an ancient oak forest. The wedding was held on the eve of summer solstice. "We just wanted a relaxed wedding where everyone could enjoy the surroundings and the significance of where we were", said the bride. "Luckily the weather was on our side! As having all of our friends and family in one place is a once in a lifetime event, we didn't like the idea of taking off to a hotel whilst everyone else was still enjoying the night, so we camped on site with the rest of our friends in a bell tent that our bridesmaids had decorated beautifully."

I have to admit that I've never actually watched an episode of Game of Thrones myself, but I knew as soon as I saw Laura and Paul's June wedding that I had to share it! They were married at Meols Hall in Churchtown.

Rebecca and Stephan were married on the bride's uncle's farm. They hired a yurt which meant they had a complete blank canvas and could have exactly what they wanted. "When we started to plan our wedding we both wanted an outdoor vibe", the bride said. "My uncle's farm which overlooks the River Severn seemed perfect."

Ariel and Rem were married in May in Colorado. They didn't want to spend a fortune, but they also didn't want to cut corners on the wedding. They prioritised the things they felt were the most important (food, photos!) and saved where they could on everything else.

Retro and Superhero Themed Wedding at a Movie Theatre

Kat

Graham River Productions

August 21, 2015

When Jess first saw Nick she felt like she was in her very own movie, "I was shopping with my mum and sister and we were taking a break in the food court. I looked up, and in slow motion (it was like a movie, I literally saw it in slow motion) I saw the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. I just sat, frozen in my seat, mouth open, staring shamelessly. Then (also in slow motion), he turned his head, locked eyes with mine, and winked. Not even joking. I giggled, blushed, and turned away. Next thing I know, I hear a voice say, 'Can I sit here?' I turn around, and it's him! Before I left the mall that day, I gave him my number, and we took a picture together, right in the food court."

Kat

August 20, 2015

It feels like the few weeks before Christmas to me right now. I can't even tell you how excited I am for issue 4 to hit the shelves and how much it's killing me to keep what the magazine looks like a secret. I'll be sharing the cover really soon, I promise! I know to you guys it might not seem any different to the previous three issues but for us its been a whole different ball game.

With people living busier lives than ever, sending a Save the Date for your wedding is pretty much essential. Not only will your friends and family appreciate the heads up, but they're also a great way to announce your wedding and get everyone excited! While you could just send an email or a text, sending something in the post is a great way to kick off the pre-wedding crafting or to start to think about your theme. Here are some questions you might have before you send yours.

Colourful Cinco de Mayo Wedding

Lifeline

August 19, 2015

Tom and Fran's wedding was inspired by their love of Mexico and the beautiful decorations and colours that are used in traditional Mexican weddings. "When we started planning the wedding, we just couldn't bear to look at one more lavender satin chair cover so we decided to make it as colourful and interesting as we could", said the bride.
