Cluck cluck... its a Hen Party!

Several girls in the office are engaged and one is now only 6 weeks away from the big day!!  We are a close little office, so we've decided on a work hen do.


8 girls, high tea, hair and nails.  What could be worse?

We'll be trying to maintain an air of class with this outing... high tea and prosecco, with a blow dry and nail paint at UR Cheeky.  Our favorite place to go for a cheap nail paint.


We've also bought the bride the obligatory 'Bride to Be' sash and badges for the hen party :-))

Happy Engagement Day!

So finally after over 7 years together my brother proposed to his long suffering girlfriend... (23 Sep 12)

How it went down: They were away for the weekend, had spent the day at the zoo... then as Leila sadly went for a shower after expecting the proposal to come during the day Ben showed her a video he'd made - with the proposal included : ))

So very cute, I want to see the video so much - maybe they'll let me add it to the blog?  The ring is vintage, bought earlier in the year... pictures to come in a few weeks.

Just under a carat diamond, with platinum flowers and a thin gold band!!

2013 A/W Wedding Dress Trend... the bustle

I think the wedding dress designers if they have not already should add a nice lace, organza ruffled modern take on a vintage French style bustle... wouldn't that be fantastic for an autumn / winter wedding dress!!

Here are a few ideas I've dug up, see what you think... shall we start a revolution and decide next season wedding dress trend before the designers have launch.  Taking inspiration from the fashion weeks #lfw

Knitted Bouquets

Want to give yourself and your bridesmaid a bouquet they can keep forever, but don't necessarily want to spend the money on brooch bouquets: http://yourweddingsupport.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/flowers-or-brooches-weddings-dilema.html, how about trying a knitted bouquet?

New Wedding Dress Trend S/S 2013 - Peplums

Peplums are everywhere at the moment, from catwalk to high street... now to wedding dress.  One of the hot new trends for Spring/Summer 2013, along with Transformer dresses, Lace Norveua, Portrait backs and coloured dresses (A/W 2011 we saw some colour but very muted, next years its going to be big and bold).

I'll be honest this isn't my fave style for a wedding dress, but if done right can be lovely!
