One of my favourite things about the weddings we share here, is learning all about how the couple first met. Today’s love story sounds like something from a romance novel. Sarah was working at a bakery, whilst Alasdair was homeless and looking for work. Sarah hired him on the spot and so their brilliant love story began. Here is Sarah to tell you more about the gorgeous wedding day…
Pretty much my favourite car in the whole entire world is the Cadillac. It has always been my dream to own a 1954 Fleetwood Series 60,in the color pink, just like the one Elvis Presley used to own, which is why I had to share todays wedding with you! It features a cadillac just like this guys!!! I couldn’t contain my excitement I just had to let the world see it!
Marie and Matt were married at Fazeley Studios in Birmingham, surrounded by the perfect mix of urban decay and spiritual serenity, not two descriptions you are ever likely to hear together again thats for sure! Here is bride Marie to tell you more…
Happy Monday morning you lovely lot! As you may have seen from our various Facebook/Instagram/Twitter posts last week we were at The Designer Vintage Bridal Show the Saturday before last and what a day we had!! It all started at 5am…ok 5:15am….ok well we were supposed to get up then but we actually dragged ourselves out of our warm beds at 5:30am to get ready and load the car up for our drive to Birmingham!
Once we had arrived and set up our super colourful stall it was time for us to check out all of the amazing exhibitors in the room! Emily held down the fort and off I went with my camera to snap away at the beautiful stands that all the vendors had worked so hard on! My first stop was ‘Oh My Honey‘ and what a sweetheart she was!! If you’re looking for a 1950’s style dress then Oh My Honey is for you! Her dresses were so cute and Emily fell in love with the polka dot wedding dress that was sitting pretty next to her stand! Opposite, was potentially one of the prettiest stands we had ever seen! Who was it I hear you ask? Well, it was Vintage Glamour Days who’s name completely lived up to the decor of the stand! It was SO glamorous and vintage! Cheryl and James made such a great team on the day and made the view from our stand a very beautiful one!
The Designer Vintage Bridal Boutique refused to be beaten by the snow and despite the adverse conditions both the organisers and exhibitors soldiered on to hold one of their best shows yet. This time the boutique was to be held at the extravagant Birmingham Town Hall and was filled with lots of seriously cool vintage suppliers including Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe, Sarah Willard Couture, Zoe Lem, John Charlton Photography and Jolly Edition. Whats great about this show is that both the organisers and the exhibitors all have one thing in common – they wanted to inspire and advise brides-to-be who had a passion for a bygone era with a sense of quirky and originality.
