Heavy Metal Sweet Shop Wedding: Chop & Hales
Chris Barber
August 23, 2013
The amazingly quirky Chop and Hales held their wedding reception in the bride's parent's back garden. They hired a marquee and decorated it exactly as they wanted.

I mean, how amazing do they all look?!Read more...
Thursday Treats: Jet Lag is a Drag
August 22, 2013
Austin was a short but eventful trip. We may have only been in the city for a few days, with two of them being hauled up in a warehouse space with no windows (it was beautiful though!) teaching The Blogcademy, but we still certainly made the most of our time there. We strolled down South Congress, ate extreme ice creams, walked for miles to get our B balloons filled with helium (in 40ºC heat - fun!) and ate more delicious Mexican food then can be considered healthy (although, PS just say no to queso!)Read more...

If you've been hoping that one day I might blog a real rock star's wedding, then today your wait is finally over. In fact I'm not sure weddings can get more Rock n Roll than this!

Bouquets of Balloons on a Brooklyn Rooftop: A Bushwick Fairytale with Rent Patina {Part Three}
Chellise Michael
August 21, 2013
The view from Rent Patina's rooftop was incredible. The Manhattan skyline stretched before us looking just as inviting as ever. When ever I arrive in New York, no matter how exhausted I am from the flight, I get a whole new wave of excited energy as soon as I see that view - the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler Building... what's not to love?Read more...
Retro Cartoon Wedding: Daisy & Leigh
Tux and Tales
August 20, 2013
Daisy and Leigh's retro wedding themed came about because they knew they wanted anything but a traditional day. "We decided to go down the retro/ vintage theme, but I also didn't want it to be the typical ‘vintage’ wedding style that is everywhere at the moment!" Daisy wrote. "I also didn't want a traditional sit-down meal so we had afternoon tea complete with cocktails served in teapots. The wedding eventually became about all of the things we love from the 1950s to the 1990s! I wanted our wedding to be really unpretentious and for everyone to have lots of fun."Read more...
A Wedding of Two Halves: Jen & Steve {Part Two}
Fazackarley
August 19, 2013
Six months after their legal ceremony at Brighton Register Office, Jen and Steve had what they would consider their 'real' wedding. "We wanted a spring weekend of celebration, filled with love, laughter and true meaning", Steve explained. "Having got the 'legal' bit out of the way we could design the entire day around what we really felt important to us, which was to be surrounded by like-minded souls having a relaxed weekend house party with a festival feel, centred around a Humanist ceremony that we wrote specifically for ourselves and witnessed by friends and family."Read more...
A Wedding of Two Halves: Jen & Steve {Part One}
Fazackarley
August 19, 2013
It's unusual that I'll split a wedding into two parts, but as Jen and Steve had two very distinctive and very different wedding days I feel it's only fair to give both of them equal air time! Their celebrations kicked off with an intimate legal ceremony at Brighton register office... with an Elvis and Marilyn Monroe impersonators as their only witnesses!Read more...

Disco Balls & Colourful Confetti: A Bushwick Fairytale with Rent Patina {Part Two}
Chellise Michael
August 14, 2013
After lying flat in front of a fan for about 20 minutes straight, we were cooled down enough to get back on the pavement for the next set in our lookbook shoot with Rent Patina. When owner Michelle Gala, Shauna and I that they'd grabbed a bunch of disco balls called in some rainbow confetti and balloons and found some vintage silver roller skates lurking in their collection I had high expectations for what we'd see... but nothing prepared me for this. This set up is literally my dream come true, I'm sure you can see why!Read more...
10 Ways To Make All Bloggers Want (To Work With) You
Paula G. Furió
August 13, 2013
I'm obviously pretty biased, but if you're running your own business and not harnessing the power of working with bloggers then you're missing a seriously big trick! With thousands (or for some of us hundreds of thousands) of loyal monthly readers, getting your product or service in front of all those eager eyeballs is has got to be a no-brainer. But bloggers are overrun with submissions so just how you go about getting them to not only notice your pitch but actually want to write about you too?Read more...

Lisa Jane
August 13, 2013
Lorna and Nigel described their May wedding as "like your Nan's 1940s wedding, where family and guests all lent the couple their best china and vases and donated homemade cakes" and I think that couldn't be more perfect! The wedding was held at St Peter & St Paul's Church and Orford House Social Club and was full of fun and quirky 1940s and 50s details.Read more...

Engagement and couple shoots aren't usually my bag... I mean I like them and think all couples should do them, but I'm never sure if they really make very interesting blog posts. However today I think I've been proven wrong. I mean how damn beautiful are these?Read more...
Stylish London Wedding: Daf & Victoria
Joanna Brown
August 12, 2013
Daf and Victoria's wedding was a double celebration. After a long time trying, Victoria finally got pregnant through IVF and so she was four month's gone for the big day. They were married on 13th April, the groom's birthday! Victoria explains, "Our wedding had been on hold while we went through a tedious long IVF process but we got to Christmas and decided we were so fed up of waiting and needed something to look forward to so decided to quickly plan it for four months later. We then had success with the IVF so I got to walk up the aisle four months pregnant! It's been an amazing year all round!"Read more...
You’re Amazing!
August 11, 2013
Happy Sunday you beautiful creatures! I wanted to pop by today to just say a huge thank you and to share some love for everyone who's ordered, instagrammed or blogged about my little headpiece collection. Sophie and I have been BLOWN AWAY by the response - so much so that the day we launched was Crown and Glory's biggest day for orders EVER and in the first few days alone she used over 12,000 gems making all the pieces that had been purchased. WHOA!Read more...
