It's a nice day for a white wedding...

There's nothing that screams elegance like a beautiful white wedding, and these days there's so many different takes on it that it doesn't have to be traditional!


With the majority of brides still choosing to don a white or ivory gown on their wedding day, you can now get a gorgeous dress, in any style, in an array of different shades of white.


No matter how many weddings people go to, photos they see, or stories they hear, the first thing people think of is a big, princessy, white dress...


If that's right up your street, then here's two of the biggest, bestest, whitest dresses I think I've ever seen!!!
For the full princess effect, team it with lots of roses, a flamboyant cake, and lots of detailing.


For a modern, more urban vibe, try mixing simple elegance with gritty detailing, keeping dresses plain yet with stunning features, and decor minimal yet eye catching.


Even if you want a dramatic white wedding,
it doesn't mean that you can't use a range of shades to keep the whole feel of it more relaxed.
I absolutely love this cupcake tower with it's photo back drop!


I also adore these backless lace dresses!!!
I also happen to love all shades of yellow when used in wedding detailing, baroque patterns, candles, sparkles, and roses... Need I say more?!


Lace is my favorite fabric to work with, I love the intricacy, the softness, the beauty, and the exquisite detailing, and it's so, so, so, so pretty!!
If you're thinking  of using lots of lace, just remember to keep your flowers simple.
Stick to wild flowers in pastel shades.


White also works great with a seasonal twist. Use flowers and details that reflect natures beauty for a classic, yet contempory look.


Even if you want to keep almost every detail pure white, tiny touches of your favorite colour can make all the difference. For an elegant look, stick to pastel shades, classic details, and timeless looks, but don't forget to throw things in that say something about your personality as a couple!

Pretty in Pink!

Pink's my favoritist colour ever, I simply can't resist it!
Any shade, any object, any place, any time, I just can't get enough of it!!!

So when friends started mentioning that I haven't done a completely pink blog yet, I couldn't resist it!!!

With so many different beautiful shades, girly textures, and prettiness I almost didn't know where to start...


The first thing I wanted to use was this beautiful dress with the baby blue sash, I'm completely in love with it! It's exactly what Little Bo Peep always wore in my imagination as a child!!
At the same time I love the other, more voluptious, gown too, all of the details are almost too much for my poor little brain to comprehend, it's fabulous!!
Gingham and baroque are two of my favorite patterns (the other being polka dot!!) so this cute jug and pretty little candle holders had to have a place somewhere!
And as for the cake, need I say more? It's utterly gorgeous!


I adore all of the pretty details in the pictures above, they're all so girly (and pink!) whilst being subtle and elegant. Pink roses are my favorite flower and you can find them in almost every one of these pics!
I've put a much more vintage twist on this collage, hopefully giving it a much more timeless look.


I'm pretty sure that all of my regular readers knew full well that I wouldn't be able to do this piece without throwing in a tea-party themed bit!!
Both of these dresses are courtesy of The Barbie Bridal Collection (yes, Barbie wedding dresses for real-sized people!!!)  and are super cute... Although really over the top!
I'm a little bit in love with this uber cute dress for the cutest little flowergirls too!!
And you can't have a tea-party without a beautifully decorated victoria sponge and some pink macaroons!



If you're after an all-out pink extravanganza, then this one's for you!!!
I really love this sweetie table, the marshmallow cake, and the bridal bouquet used here, they're all just so vibrant and fun, and the personalised sweets are a really lovely finishing touch!

Falling in love with Doris!

Want something abit different for your wedding day, looking for something fabulous to glam up your bridesmaids dresses, searching for a cute alternative christening gown, or just want the floatiest, flirtiest, most gorgeous petticoat ever?!!

Then take a peak at Doris, The Petticoat Specialist!

"Whilst wandering one day through a vintage fair a young business woman spotted a gap in the market for high quality, full bodied and pretty petticoats. Her dream and desires were soon realised as Doris Designs."

Using around 30 metres of luxurious chiffon in the most gorgeous colours imaginable, these beauties start at only £35 and are worth every penny!!

I'm completely head over heals with the dusty pink and grey, and just want to swish around all day!!
