Baby love

I love the idea of incorporating baby pictures into your day.
This allows your friends to have a good laugh, while also involving your parents.
Mums love picking out baby pics and so it's a good way to occupy them in the planning too!

Ideas on how to use the baby pics:

• Blow up, frame and use with table names / numbers
• Create photo bunting
• Make your own order of service complete with baby pics and bios
• Stick in your guestbook to add interest
• Ask all guests to RSVP with a baby pic. Use these to create their place cards
• Stick around the loos to cheer the place up

Homemade bunting

Bunting is super popular these days, so why not create your own unique design by pegging gorgeous individual hankies to a rope.

These might also come in handy after the ceremony so guests can wipe away tears of happiness!

London brides can find stacks of old vintage hankies and scarfs in Camden market and near by shops. Oxfam stock cute little mini pegs for hanging.

Dress Me Daisy

Everyone has that idyllic afternoon in their heads.... catch up with your bridesmaids, wander stress free around the shops, find the perfect dress for each one of them (despite their variation in style, appearance and age), celebrate with cocktails and then saunter home with wonderful attire for your best girls all without breaking a sweat.

In reality, it's not quite that simple, which is why I was so excited to discover Dress Me Daisy - the online shop which offers your very own, real-life personal shopper. Simply log on, tell them what you want and wah-lah - they come back with the goods.

Get the girls round, pop open the bubbles and click away! Easy

Magical Marianne

I have recently had the pleasure of meeting the lovely, super-talented photographer, Marianne Taylor.
Marianne takes fun, individual photographs which are guaranteed to make you smile.

Bridesmaid style

To match, or not to match - for me, that is the question!
Do you opt for a slick uniformed style and go crazy with flowers and accessories, or do you mix it up?
What I do know is that these gorgeous Vivenne Westwood shoes are utterly ahhhhh-dorable!
