Real Wedding II - Me Me Me!! Again Again...

The Evening Reception

The Coote Suite was decorated unbelieveably by Party Linen, it looked FANTASTIC!!

My centerpieces consisted of mirror plates with swarovski scatter crystal and tea lights surrounding a glass candleholder.

Our 'Cake' picture..we didn't actually have a cake we had a chocolate shop instead since my greatest love will always be chocolate!

Max pinching some Chocolate!

Our first dance, we were trying to entice Max to join us at this point, but to no avail!

Real Wedding II - Me Me Me!! Again...

It has only taken me 2 months to update you with the rest of my pictures!! But anyway here they are...

Our welcome drink was a gorgeous and warming Hot Chocolate and Baileys with shortbread rounds. It was sooooo YUMMY!!

This was my vintage style Photoboard.

To create it I used some old family wedding photographes that had been reprinted on sepia. The photo's were placed around the edge of the photoboard, and held in place with vintage hat pins and some old pieces of jewellery from my nan's collection. Dotted around the photo's were scrapbooking tags with words like... Absence makes the heart grow fonder

When people were looking at the old photos and reminissing about bygone weddings it was a lovely moment.

This was my seating plan designed and handpainted by Pink Lane it looked beautiful and matched my invitations perfectly.

This was the AMASING Baronial Suit at Highgate House, this was where we held our Wedding Breakfast. There was a beautiful bay window at one end and a roaring open fire at the other.

Real Wedding II - Me Me Me!!

MY WEDDING PICTURES ARE HERE!! They arrived on Saturday and I cannot stop looking at them!! So I thought I would share a selection of them with you, I hope you enjoy...

These are my beautiful invitations from Momental Designs they were perfect and I received so many wonderful comments about them. My favorite part is the quote in the top right hand corner from 'our' song 'Thankyou For Loving Me' Bon Jovi!

My flowers were antique pink 'Old Dutch' roses, I love the withered unperfect look.

The two little page boy's carried a Paddington Bear each which had our wedding rings tied to them.

Our GORGEOUS entourage!

Our Beautiful Boy

What? I didn't want to get cold feet!!

The traditional confetti shot!! I filled a vintage wicker basket with white hydrangea petals for the guest to throw as I wanted the illusion of snow.

We hired our brollies from Hire-a-brolly and they were brilliant, the brollies arrived 3 days before the wedding and were collected by a courier 2 days after the wedding, it couldn't have been simpler!

So thats the day covered!! I will post some pictures from the meal and reception soon!!! x

Inspiration Board I

Inspiration Board - Part 1

This is the inspiration board I created for my wedding back in December, so I hope you like it and if you use any ideas from it I would love to hear about it and maybe see some pictures...

Chocolate Suprise

Evening All,

I have just sat down after finished making my Mum's birthday present for tomorrow and I am desperate to show it off!!

I have decided against the standard book / DVD and I thought I would be creative and make something she (and I) would thoroughly enjoy!! So here it is...




















A selection of her favourite truffles, including white chocolate with lemon, milk chocolate and hazelnut, bitter milk chocolate and milk chocolate coated in white chocolate.

Hubby just pinched one and said, and I quote, 'there better than the ones we buy in Brugge' So I am really pleased, especially as this is my first ever attempt at making truffles! I don't know why I haven't made them before as I had so much fun, especially the cleaning up afterwards (I didn't lick the bowl I promise).

Anyway when I was putting it all together it made me think how nice it would be as a centerpiece at a wedding. One of these in the center of each table, maybe on a mirror plate or a piece of vintage lace with drapped pearls and vintage bits and bobs dotted around!

When I got married I actually had a 'Chocolate Themed' wedding and I wished I had thought of this then! For those who are interesed my 'Chocolate Theme' included...

• Hot Chocolate & Baileys as a welcome drink
• Chocolate favours
• A Chocolate Shop (instead of a cake)

I'll show you the pictures some time!
