Ooh La La I Love France

by Charlotte via Rock My Wedding


I do. It is my favourite place in Europe, maybe even my most favourite place in the whole wide world. I love the language, I love the food, I love the wine……it’s just all so very romantic.

Some years ago I discovered the most beautiful chateau I had ever laid eyes on whilst browsing on-line,  Chateau Les Merles in the Dordogne area. I had always concluded that it would be cost prohibitive and although I sent off for the details never really considered that slightly out of season might be considerably cheaper.

Fast forward to March this year and we finally caved and booked the holiday destination of my dreams for the second week of June. (Notice how I said my and not “our”?, that husband of mine is a generous so and so.)


And then the fear set in, you know the kind when your expectations are raised so high you are almost guaranteed to be destined for a huge fall? THAT. Not to mention the fact that it had been so long since I had been on a proper “actually going to have time off and not get involved in RMW whilst I’m away” break that I am embarrassed to say I kind of got a bit stuck in terms of what to pack.

Bohemian Backyard Wedding in Idaho: Natalie + Will

by Jen via Real Weddings | Green Wedding Shoes Wedding Blog | Wedding ...

search for beautiful A-line wedding dresses

Natalie + Will knew from the start they wanted to get married in a natural setting + keep things as stress-free as possible, so they chose their friend’s backyard (in Idaho) as their venue + kept the decor minimal, but eclectic with lots of fun vintage, bohemian + rustic accents! The gorgeous red barn + artfully landscaped gardens proved to be the perfect backdrop for a wedding that was centered around love + reflective of Natalie + Will’s sweet, laid-back personalities!

Thanks so much to Dylan and Sara Photography for the beautiful photography (just wait until you see the stunning portraits of Natalie + Will towards the end of the post!) and big congrats to the newlyweds! Read the full post here.

Let this seaside-inspired bridal fashion shoot capture your imagination

by Jade Pearson via Wedding Ideas

When Jackie from top wedding blog Ooh! Mrs James came to us with her seaside-inspired bridal fashion shoot we couldn’t wait to show you how amazing it is.

So we sat down with her and asked about the influences behind the shoot, some of the fashion choices and why she decided on the theme she did. Over to you, Jackie…



Inspirational ideas
Nicki the photographer contacted me a few months ago after I opened my vintage wedding dress boutique and approached me with the idea of collaborating on a styled shoot. I jumped at the chance!

I chose the concept of having the models act like dolls or puppets as they go on a day out together, so then we worked on a story board. After Nicki found the perfect location, Seabank in Selsey, everything really started to come together. The more we shared thoughts, the more adventurous it got and our plan for a bright, colourful and unique shoot was formed. All we needed was some like-minded wedding suppliers to make it come together.

Super suppliers

Tess from Chatter Cakes is fantastic at what she does so was a natural choice for the confectionery. She came back to us with the most out of this world, wonderful creations, including a cake covered in hundreds and thousands with an upturned ice cream on the top and one covered in sugar buttons, as well as loads of cupcakes which didn’t last long!

Irregular Choice provided us with the shoes. They were the most outrageous designs; almost as if they were made for us! A Suit That Fits kindly lent us the waistcoats. And props, like the vintage suitcases, were from Lucy Jane Ltd.

Rosey Posey Creations made bespoke flower garlands and crowns especially for the shoot. She was fantastic at listening to what we needed and taking our ideas on board.

Our make-up artist was the talented Naita Channer who did the make-up and hair for all four models and really made the ‘doll’ concept come to life. The button bouquets were from the lovely Hannah at BonnieBoo Buttons, she also made some buttonholes for the chaps to wear with their waistcoats.

We also had the help of second shooter, Laura Mott, who captured everything back stage as well as extra bouquets from Fenella’s Flowers. Nicki was amazing and her energy was contagious, she kept us all going until the end of the day when we treated ourselves to much deserved fish and chips! Read the full post .....
