Hands up if you feel comfortable letting a stranger photograph you? Hands up if you feel more comfortable letting a friend photograph you? My bets are that there were a hell of a lot more hands on the second question. When you’re comfortable it shows in your photos, and who wouldn’t want to look comfortable and…
Did you just read that title and go ‘ARE THEY CRAZY?!’ The answer to that is potentially yes…but sometimes it’s fun to go a little crazy with our wedding themes, we all remember the Dr Seuss one don’t we?! Well I’d like to think that with a little hard work and an open mind a theme…
Is this even legal anymore? I’m not sure but I know I haven’t seen it done for quite a while! It seems that one of the more traditional things of a wedding is now an unusual thing to do! But where did it all start? I did a quick Google search and I got a…
Having fun with your photography at your wedding should certainly be one of the highlights of your day. It is so easy to be sucked into sticking to the mundane posed shots but very often people feel like they are having to perform more of a chore and it all starts to feel very uncomfortable.…
I am not going to lie this morning has been a struggle as I am just a little hungover. Yesterday myself and Mr T were invited to celebrate the wedding of two of his oldest friends and what a great day it was. I wish I had filmed the speeches because they were honestly some…
We’ve been in cafe’s for two Fashion Friday’s in a row now, but can you blame us? Every time we schedule in a little Fashion Friday time it decides to rain! I’m not complaining though, especially when it involves some yummy lunch! This week we popped into the Silver Fox Cafe near Newnham, I…
The weather has taken a turn for the worst over the last couple of days and become rather windy with the odd downpour. When the weather is like this I can’t help but sit and daydream about the places I would love to visit. I watched the Hobbit last week and I have to admit…
Ever thought about taking your wedding back to basics? I mean REALLY back to basics. Imagine you lived in a tee-pee with no electricity and you grew your own fruit and vegetables, imagine that evenings were spent around a camp fire instead of a TV and being Eco friendly was a way of life for…
I’ve got to be honest. I’m really not that great at painting nails! Considering i’m quite a creative and artistic person you would have thought it would come natural to me, but oh no, my hand is not a steady one when it gets close to my nails! The problem is, I love patterned nails,…
If you’ve been reading Bespoke Bride for a while you’ll know that last year Me & Emily took a trip to California and while we were over there we did a photo-shoot with the fabulous Deborah Lindquist and photographer Mariel Hannah! I was lucky enough to wear one of Deborah’s dresses but I wouldn’t have…
Wow hasn’t the weather just been amazing this week! I know its a little old fashioned to start a conversation with a comment about the weather but it would be rude to ignore it surely? This week has been just a little bit exciting, as you know we met with the lovely Emily Fisher and…
When you start planning your wedding there is a good chance you will be overwhelmed by family, friends sometimes even complete strangers giving you their own wedding advice. Some of these hints and tips will be useful others will go straight over your head. If you’re anything like me you will forget most of what…
Subtle simplicity is the only way I can think to describe the wedding of Duncan and Pieta who married last September at Cap Des Falco in Ibiza. The couple decided to cut back on the details and focus more on the experience of their day keeping decor and colour simple and rustic to fit in with…
I love the Lime Tree. It’s a cute little restaurant/cafe that sits pretty in Chepstow and is always busy due to it’s yummy food and quaint wooden surroundings! It’s also about half way between where we live and Bristol which made it the perfect place to meet the lovely ladies; Emily Fisher and Laura Power…
It is no secret that I am in love with the natural world and am a keen conservationist. I believe in order to make a real difference in conservation we need to find alternatives. It would be no good heading out to the rainforest and demanding no more trees be cut down. At the end of…
We couldn’t very well do a gold inspiration board without following up with a silver one now could we? Personally, I don’t wear gold so silver is right up my street and I think it looks just as classy as the gold board! Just like before, classy doesn’t mean it needs to be an extravagant…
This is literally the best chocolate cake you will ever eat. HANDS DOWN!! It just so happens to be a family tradition of ours to always have ‘Nan’s chocolate cake’ for any of our Birthdays and since IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY (woop woop!!) I thought there was no better food DIY that I could share with you!…
It’s no secret that here at Bespoke Bride me & Emily love a good crown! We’ll place flowers, feathers and frills upon our heads and luckily for us, they seem to be popping up all over the high street! The best part? They’re affordable and beautiful!! I’ve narrowed down my absolute faves to share with…
