BUT others I would have really liked...

I tried on this vera wang and surprised myself- I loved it! but it was just too princessy for me...

I liked this oscar de la renta for being different:

invitation

Something a bit different. Not too formal and summed us up.

what to choose...

to be honest, I didn't try on a massive amount of dresses. I knew I wanted something different, something totally me and a 'wow' dress.

and I found two...

white dress by Valentino, green dress by Jenny Packham (A/W 2008 collection)

Venue search

It was kind of inevitable...

After making my mind up at the age of 12, Chavenage House in Tetbury was the perfect location for me, I mean 'us'...

New Blog!

In July 2010 I got married to my wonderful partner of 10 years, James, and we had the best day we could have ever hoped for. I work in a creative day-job but have felt inspired by the planning of my own big day to want to continue in this area. I'm hoping to start my own creative design and planning business here in the UK where there seems to be a lack of inspiring wedding designers and bloggers.

Whilst planning for my own wedding day I would browse many American blogs but not so many UK based ones. 'There's a good idea!'... I thought, and hence, my own blog is now up and running! I found not only wedding blogs to be inspiring but fashion and interiors ones too- you never know where and when something might open up a new idea to you- and now I'm quite addicted! I'll be blogging about wedding inspiration but actually, anything that takes my fancy.. Hopefully you'll like my posts and maybe even find your own inspiration!
