With a budget of just £4000, Ryan and Connie planned a beautiful 1950s inspired wedding. The bride wore a dress made especially for her by Honeypie Boutique, shoes from Next and fun Tatty Divine jewellery. The bridesmaids' vintage inspired dresses were by Vivien of Holloway. "We love colours, patterns and prints so we wanted the wedding to reflect that", said Connie. "All the bridesmaids chose their own coloured dress and I had a bright pink ice cream bag!! We wanted to use local suppliers as far as possible and keep costs low by making things ourselves. We also wanted the day to be colourful and bold but also relaxed."Read more...

This update comes to you from one of my favourite places in the whole wide world, New York City! I'm currently sat in Gala's beautiful apartment, sipping PG Tips and watching Dolly snoozing on my bed. Hank got in with me last night (he was SO FUNNY, trying to be all cute and sneaky, although when you're a 60lb pitbull there's nothing sneaky about you!) but when I woke up this morning, Dolly was spooning me. Oh puppies.Read more...
