We’re in the midst of tying up all the loose ends in the office today but before we head out the door I wanted to leave you with this snow white design board which was partly inspired by this stunning wedding over at SMP. This concept is all about keeping things simple with letting the wintry surroundings speak for themselves. A pure white colour palette, lots of beautiful wooden surfaces, log fires, candlelight, marshmallows, icing sugar, cashmere blankets, ceilidh dancing, fur wraps, hot chocolate, sparklers, brandy, and a hearty wedding breakfast. The perfect festive celebration!

I wanted to share with you some more of the details from Stephanie and Richard’s wedding, specifically the stationery. This was all sourced from Borrowed Blue Press and absolutely beautiful.
Invitation (which came in a beautifully lined envelope):
Inside the invitation:
Snowflake motif:
The snowflake motif also appeared on the table names, place cards and table plan, perfect for the contemporary winter theme.
Menu cards:
Stephanie and Richard also chose orders of service that featured the silver flower paper and which were tied with matching silver ribbon.
All the different pieces of stationery matched perfectly, giving the day a real continuity and so many guests commented on just how beautiful the stationery was!

If you do one thing today it must, must, must be heading over to Once Wed to read all about Amber and Jeff’s stunning wedding. I cannot believe how gorgeous this wedding is and how the couple did so many amazing craft projects themselves. I am especially head-over-heels for their website, save the date packs and escort cards. Also if you needed any more convincing that a photo booth is absolutely the way to go check their shots out – hilarious.

So we’re taking things super slowly today after Stephanie and Richard’s fabulous winter wedding on Saturday. More pictures and words to follow but for now I just wanted to share this picture of the swimming pool area at The Haymarket Hotel where the evening reception took place. Guests were literally gasping with amazement as they entered this very special space.

The venue was beautiful but especially beautiful at night.
A huge thank you to the fantastic Ben at Touch Photography for these beautiful photos and a massive congratulations to the lovely Tom and Susie!

A few weeks ago I mentioned Susie and Tom’s gorgeous autumn wedding. Well today I’m *super* excited to share a small selection of the professional photographs taken by the lovely Ben at Touch Photography.
Susie’s dress was stunningly beautiful. With tuelle and sparkling diamantes galore, every now and then I’d walk past a group of ladies whispering about just how stunning she looked.
Dried leaves were strewn down the aisle and chocolate bars were placed on ceremony seats to help pass the time before the bride arrived.
One of my favourite aspects of the wedding day itself is meeting clients’ family and close friends. The bridesmaids, best man and ushers at Tom and Susie’s were amongst some of the nicest and funniest I have ever worked with. I love this picture of the best man Chris, totally caught up in the emotion of the ceremony. Chris later went on to do a best man’s speech that absolutely brought the house down!
Stay tuned, more to come…

Last night I was lucky enough to see the fantastic La Clique at London’s Hippodrome. And wow what a show! Complete with jugglers and acrobats, magicians, musicians and comedians, the show is a kind of adults-only circus which would be perfect for a hen party. If you shudder at the thought of being accosted by a stripper but are still looking for something a little adventurous for your hen celebrations then this is the show for you.
Hilarious and risqué without being cheap and tacky, by the end of the night my face was aching from laughing so much. My favourites were the amazing David O’Mer and the beautiful Yulia Pikhtina (both pictured).
La Clique is showing at The Hippodrome until the 19th of April 2009, tickets priced from £15.
