Yesterday I shared some behind the scenes photos from our vintage peach photo shoot, and today I’m delighted to show you the video from the day, filmed by Iota Media . Put your feet up with a cuppa for a few minutes and see what we got up to!

Sarah’s Thoughts – Sweetie Buffet
Thursday, October 20th, 2011
Posted in A Bride's Perspective , Wedding Styling
With sixty under-twelves invited to our Summer Fete wedding reception, we didn’t need further excuses to plan a sweetie buffet as part of our celebrations. The idea of an old fashioned pick and mix stall also fitted in well with our theme, and so I set about planning the spread. I had browsed the internet for inspiration and found that sweetie tables fell into two distinct camps – the sophisticated, colour themed and very ordered display or the retro, “sweets of our youth” type.
With the aforesaid number of children any elegant display wasn’t going to look that way for long, and also our green, white and red colour scheme didn’t tend to lend itself to limiting the colours of sweets chosen, so I decided that a more eclectic mix of treats was the order of the day. (more…)

Styling Work: Bridal Boutique Launch Party
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

Back in July I received a message on from the lovely Rebecca at Chez Bec – did I want to help style and organise the September launch party for her new wedding dress boutique, Isabella Grace ? Erm, let me just think about that for all of 2 seconds…YES!
Rebecca kindly loaned some of her beautiful jewellery and head pieces for my vintage peach photo shoot earlier in the year, and I knew she was working on something special from her tweets and sneak peek photos on Twitter. Plus having chatted with her on the phone about her vision for her boutique I knew this was something I definitely wanted to be a part of!

As well as having been involved in some fantastic weddings this summer, we’ve also had some lovely press features in recent weeks. You may have seen our peach photo shoot featured in You & Your Wedding magazine and on Rock My Wedding , but we’ve also contributed our top wedding planning tips to Brides Etc magazine (read the article here ), and at the end of August I made my radio debut on BBC Essex talking about weddings in the county. You can listen to the interview here .

Sarah’s Thoughts – Hang Out The Bunting
Thursday, October 13th, 2011
Posted in A Bride's Perspective , Blog
I had my first grown up sewing machine for Christmas when I was five years old and was the only girl in my school who did A level needlework (or Textiles, Fashion and Dress to give it its proper title), so when our summer fete reception called for bunting (and you can’t have a summer fete without it, can you?), I knew this was going to be DIY project well within my comfort zone. Other factors also meant that hiring it wasn’t really feasible: the fact that I was quite specific on the colours (green, white and red bunting wasn’t readily available to hire), and the sheer amount of it I needed which would have cost an arm and a leg!

Sarah’s Thoughts – Photo Booths
Thursday, October 6th, 2011
Posted in A Bride's Perspective , Blog
I’ve written before about my love of picking up leaflets, so a wedding show is like manna from heaven for me. It was at such an event I first picked up information about having a wedding photo booth, and was immediately smitten with the idea.
We were planning lots of fun entertainment for both the day and evening of our summer fete reception, and had earmarked a reasonable chunk of the budget to it. However, my problem was that I was “immediately smitten” with many of the ideas I was seeing – carousel (must have), ice cream trike (who wouldn’t eat ice cream at a summer fete?), giant garden games (a six foot kerplunk was incredibly tempting) and the cost of hiring a professional photo booth was meaning that a lot of the other options would have to be side-lined.
