Made You Look Studio
December 18, 2013
It's no secret that I am completely obsessed with Made U Look's photography. I know I'm not supposed to have favourites and all, but if I was forced... well, they'd be way up there. They just kill it every time. Which is why, when Vicki and Lee sent me the photos of their elopement at a church in the Californian desert, shot by Made U Look, I didn't hesitate for one second when I replied saying "Yes, yes, yes I want to feature you!"Read more...

I rarely set New Year's resolutions, and if I do they're usually just intentions to do certain things better or more productively. Statistically speaking New Year's resolutions usually fail anyway so why set yourself up for a fall like that?! But I am a bit believer in goal setting. Goals focus the mind and give you something concrete to aim for so you're not just flailing around and making it all up as you go along (well, for some of the time). However instead of waiting until January 1st to start that new project, I'd like to encourage you to start working on it right now. Here's why:Read more...

When a bride is a wedding dress designer you just know she's going to rock something truly incredible on her own wedding day. Getting married to John at the spectacular Westonbirt School, Gloucestershire, Vikki wore two stunning gowns, both of which she made herself. She also handmade her bridesmaid's dresses and accessories.Read more...

You are going to love Beckie and Paul's wedding. From Beckie's amazing pink and teal corset and skirt combo to her purple and green hair, and their amazing DIY details including the knitted faux taxidermy bust centrepieces (!!) this really is a crazy creative wedding with a difference. The ceremony was held at Blackfriars Priory in Gloucestershire and the reception at the quirky Over Barn which came complete with farm animals and a bowling lane!Read more...

Winona and Dave were married on a friend's property in Maple Bay, on Vancouver Island. This venue really set the tone of their day, with personal touches throughout. The overall theme was a 1950s rockabilly seaside with pops of nautical, mermaids and Rock n Roll!Read more...

If there's one thing in competition for my love of all things sparkly, its anything with a skull on it... much to my mother and my husband's dismay! I'm not sure where this slightly macabre fascination came from but if there's something in a shop in the shape of a skull I am instantly drawn to it.Read more...

With the new year just around the corner, I've been reviewing how I do certain things and seeing how I can make improvements going into 2014. One of the smaller changes I've decided to make is to merge Thursday Treats with Friday's Business Bites post. I've decided that dedicating a whole blog post slot to a second links round up article is a bit of a waste and so instead I'll now be posting either a second Green Room article each week on a Friday afternoon or another real wedding feature! You're very welcome.Read more...

Lauren and Dean wanted their wedding to be a big party for everyone, but mostly one that they'd really love to go to! They handmade pretty much everything ("I think I burned off my fingertips with hot glue over those few months" Lauren laughed) and hosted it on a private properly in Granville, MA.Read more...

No matter how many weddings I feature, or how many cool, quirky and original décor and details I see, it is always the simple and emotional, small weddings, that really slay me. Elopements, intimate ceremonies, the great outdoors. Anna and Jarrah did exactly this, travelling from their home in Australia to a beach in France, with just their parents and very best friends in attendance.Read more...

Deanna and Mike were married in an art gallery in Calgary and their reception was in their favourite pub. They wanted their day to be fun for themselves and their guests so they kept things relatively simple, with minimal decorations, and just focused on the stuff that really mattered to them.Read more...

As soon as I saw Sara's incredible rainbow dress I just knew I had to feature this wedding. I mean, goodness, any bride that rocks a dress like that is guaranteed to have an amazing wedding. I wasn't wrong! The day was held at Camp Kinkora in Montreal where the bride used to go to summer camp as a kid.Read more...

One of my ultimate highlights of my trip to Queensland was snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. It wasn't something that I ever thought I'd have the opportunity to experience and I nearly squealed with delight when I found out that it was on our itinerary.Read more...

Evan and Catherine were married at the iconic Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco and their reception was at the super cool Chambers Eat + Drink. They wanted a wedding that was edgy yet elegant - just like them! The venues they chose really helped to set that mood. "After a long search for wedding venues, we were feeling uninspired", Catherine began. "Pricey and cookie cutter was the theme for most of the spaces we looked at. We needed to find a place that inspired not only us but our guests."Read more...

Sandra and Kristijonas were married in Lithuania, at Jalta, an alternative restaurant in Vilnius. From the outside it looks like a wooden house, they serve food made from locally sourced ingredients and they have a DJ in a greenhouse (which is actually where they had their ceremony!) The tree-lined terrace garden was the perfect setting for their laid back and cosy reception.Read more...
