Sunday Sharing: Happy Birthday To Us!!!!
Regular readers of Bespoke Bride will know that yesterday we celebrated our very 1st Birthday. It has been a rollercoaster of a year but we wouldnt change a minute of it.
We have absolutely huge plans for the 2013 and we honestly cannot wait to fill you in on our new little big venture but at the moment it ihas to be Top Secret so we are staying schtum. For now we would like to take a look back at the year we have had to celebrate all that made us what we are today…
We scoured the net for the best and more importantly free wedding printables so that couples that had decided to DIY, would have the pleasure of 65 of the best right here on Bespoke Bride. Many of you told us how thankful and helpful we had been, but honestly guys the pleasure was all ours.

Much of our time is spent scouring the net trying to find things we think you will love for your wedding day so we made this list of 50 fab and original favours.
This year shabby chic has taken over our lives, we love the pale pinks and duck egg blues so what better way to inspire you than with our love of all things shabby chic. If we may say so ourselves this is prettiest inspiration board ever…

We introduced you to our favourite wedding app, Appy couple. This app creates a platform from which couples can share their wedding plans with their loved ones, including the engagement right the way through to the honeymoon. Lovers of this app need to stay tuned as we have exciting news to share for them in the New year.
Many of our readers are huge lovers of the great outdoor weddings and being from the Forest of Dean we thought it only fitting that we create a woodland wedding inspiration board. Many of you loved this board and we were inundated with emails from couples who thanks to this, were inspired to have an outdoor wedding. In the UK the laws differ in that you are unable to legally marry outdoors, however with the help of celebrants it is now possible to at least celebrate the ceremony outside.
We are huge fans of Etsy and the array of amazing wedding suppliers there are out there so we dedicated a whole post to those that had broke tradition and designed colourful wedding dresses. This black wedding dress was one of particular favourites.
We have become incredibly fond of Lucy Hayes from Lucy Hayes bridal veils over the last year and have been extremely lucky to have her write a number of guest posts for us, one being the history of the bridal veil and her most popular, the history of the bridal gown.
At Bespoke Bride we are well reknowned for loving things a little Geek chic so imagine my excitement when my boyfriend sent me this list of 30 Geeky Engagement Rings, Wedding Bands & Ring Boxes.
Over the year we have discussed a number of topics that you have have felt you needed advice on but one of the most popular as had to be the debate over whether or not to allow children at your wedding. We really hope that this feature helped those that may have been struggling with the desicion?
The first real wedding to feature on Bespoke Bride was that of Chloe and Barry and their classic and timeless wedding in Ireland. Real weddings are extremely popular with our readers and after this beauty it is easy to see why?
Although our blog aims to inspire and advise readers to celebrate their day in a more personalised way, we have been astounded by the number of you are intrigued by tradition. Lucy Hayes history of the bridal gown and veils have not been the only posts to interest you. More recently we featured 5 wedding jewellery superstitions.
So obsessed with the alternative and unique are we that we searched for 20 of the most unique and alternative venues in which to hold a wedding ceremony or reception.
We introduced you to a couple of ways in which to display your wedding flowers in a less traditional way, perfect for any DIY wedding.
Recently we featured this absolutely beautiful Michigan wedding submitted by Glass Jar photography. This wedding was full of pastel pretty.
After having so many intrigued readers after our first woodland wedding inspiration board, we decided to step it up a notch and launch another board only this time we a small enchanted twist.
Well thats it for another year, yes thats right one whole year. We cannot believe just how time flies. We would like to take this oppurtunity to say a HUGE thank you to all our readers for allowing us to continue, we can only hope that our next year is as good, if not better than this one.
Our one birthday wish is that if your have never commented on Bespoke Bride before then it is our one birthday wish that you do just that. We would really appreciate your thoughts on our blog so that we can make sure that for the next year we give you exactly what you want.
