Eek!<br />
<br />
Here is the wedding stationery I created for them. They had a folding card, with hand stitched guest names and a pocket to hold their information cards. Carli wanted to include an image of the venue, <a href="http://www.mythebarn-weddings.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mythe Barn</a>, as it was under construction. She will be one of the first brides to marry there since its completion late this year.<br />
<br />
I also did their on the day stationery which I hope to be able to share with you soon.<br />
<br />
The wedding is being shot by the amazing Nicola of <a href="http://www.daffodilwaves.co.uk/" target="_blank">Daffodil Waves</a>...needless to say I am very excited to see the photos!<br />
<br />
Enjoy and I'd love to know what you think :)<br />

This was an email I received last night from my most recent bride. It put a big smile on my face.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Way back in June I created a simple wedding invitation for Hannah and Andrews wedding. A few weeks later, Hannah got back in touch - could I possibly help her with flowers as she'd been let down by a florist and wasn't really sure what she wanted to do.</div>
</div>

She told me her colour scheme was orange and navy blue. I was sold.</div>

Below are the elements I created for her.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Hannah wanted a colour bouquet, but not something too strong so we went for peaches with subtle use of a stronger orange and a small amount of blue. Hannah loved the felt balls I had used in another bouquet so we used these to bring out the accent colours.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">The Bridesmaids</span><br />
Hannahs Bridesmaids didn't really want flowers and so instead I created wrist corsages for them using the same ribbon on Hannahs bouquet and including pears and felt balls to tie everything together. The bridesmaids wore navy blue so these little beauties would stand out perfectly.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">The Centrepieces</span><br />
Sticking with the more subtle shades from Hannahs bouquet I created flower balls on a variety of different candle holders to make the focal pieces for her tables. These were teamed with individual glass bottles that held the accent colours of orange and blue and candles made in hollowed out oranges.<br />
<br />
Hannah also had hanging garlands from me as well.<br />

This was a chance to bring out the accent colours again. The Mothers of Hannah and Andrew had corsages made with the subtle tones in Hannahs bouquet whilst the groom and his men each had a different button hole to compliment both Hannahs bouquet and the bridesmaids corsages.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The final piece to complete Hannahs collection of pretties was a finger print tree. The tree was that used on her table plan and other stationery and she had 3 inks to create her 'leaves', an orange, navy blue and light blue selection. I hope to have a photo of the finished thing to show you at some point. It is such a great interactive activity for your guests to partake in. I can't wait to see the finished tree full of leaf finger prints.</div>

<br />
So, you may or may not know that I paint. I thought I'd share one with you I have completed recently.<br />
<br />
Painting is a funny thing. Actually, art in general is funny, It's very subjective. It's one persons take on subject. This take on, or the way they see it in their head can be so different from what you or I see.<br />
<br />
This is why I love art. It causes debate. You might look at my art and think, eh, but why can't I see his eye properly, why does his hair blend into that tree, but her nose only has one nostril. But good. I hope it makes you think about light, shade, feelings and generally outside of the box a little.<br />
<br />
A friend of mine approached me a few months back with this gorgeous photo of him and his very beautiful wife and asked me if I'd paint a version of it for her 30th birthday...<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean really, how super gorgeous are they?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pressure is definitely ON when I get asked to do a portrait. Especially when it is of someone I know. Because regardless of what I have said previously, I still want my clients to be happy and to love whatever I create for them. But, I guess like with photography, they have sussed me out prior to approaching me and know the sort of thing I will come back with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I thought I'd share the painting process with you. From start to finish. Apologies that my pics are only iPhone snaps but it still gives you an idea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully you will like my interpretation of the above image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lucky lady was thrilled with the final outcome and we have been having fun filled discussions about frames and where she is going to hang it in her new apartment :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It makes me sad to hand these things over when they have had my attention for weeks but I'm so happy when a client is over the moon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Discover.I'm a firm believer in making your own destiny. Of late, I have been pushing for things that I want, things I really want.<br />
<br />
I am working my tooshie off to create an amazing stand for the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza, I am fulfilling all my bridal deadlines and continuing to take new brides onto the books and I'm graphic designing all over the shop.<br />
<br />
Life is very VERY busy at the moment but this is by choice and I'd have it no other way.<br />
<br />
I have a dream (can you ever say this without impersonating Mr King?), in fact I have lots of dreams and some of them are coming to life. Which is a strange strange feeling. To get something you actually want can be slightly overwhelming. But god it's a good feeling.<br />
<br />
I feel like all my hard work over the past 6 months is really starting to pay off. It is very satisfying indeed.<br />
<br />
I'll be revealing more over the next few months but for now, here's a little ditty from Mark Twain. I'm doing it folks, and if I can do it, so can you.<br />
<br />
Go on, explore, dream and discover.<br />
<br />
Massivest(?!) of Friday loves to you all<br />
<br />

<br />
I first spoke to bride Lara back in March of this year when she left a comment on Rock My Wedding's blog post of <a href="http://www.rockmywedding.co.uk/new-love-at-the-old-library/" target="_blank">my wedding</a>, telling me how much she admired my hairband and bouquet and how it was exactly what she was looking for for her September wedding.<br />
<br />
This was the first time I'd thought that Beautiful Bird Creations could work as a business. Surely if one person was interested, then others would be too?<br />
<br />
I emailed Lara, asking what she was after and trying to get a feel for her personality and her wedding. And I loved her straight away. Lara is witty, thoughtful, caring and above all a very excited and in love girl wanting the wedding of her dreams.<br />
<br />
I felt a connection with Lara straight away. She was planning her wedding amidst finishing university. Exactly the same as I was when planning mine. We exchanged the difficulties of focusing on your education when you have so much excitement going on outside of that.<br />
<br />
So cut a long story short, Lara had her bridal bouquet from me, along with button holes for the groom and groomsmen and also hair combs for herself.<br />
<br />
She kept me updated with all her details along the way, sending me photos of her in her dress, sharing her inspirations with me and photos of her hair combs during her hair trial.<br />
<br />
I got to know her so well and I'll miss her humorous emails.<br />
<br />
Lara got married 2 weeks ago and I wish her all the love, luck and happiness in the world.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy the photos of her flowers.<br />
<br />
Becky<br />

happens when three slightly mad wedding suppliers come together? They hatch a
crazy plan….that’s what!! When
Sassy (Assassynation), Jo (Couture Company) and Vikki (Liliia) got nattering
over a glass of wine (standard) they decided that they
would put on a Wedding Extravaganza with a real mix of suppliers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">“We want to put on an amazing wedding extravaganza (aka fair) that would
be exciting for both the suppliers and couples alike, so we hatched a

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The idea is that we want people to shake off the shackles of what is
considered ‘normal’ or ‘traditional’ and to take their own personalities and
loves and stamp them on their weddings, so we have picked suppliers who
can help ewe do that!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">This is no ordinary wedding show, the suppliers aka the <a href="http://allaboutewe.co.uk/#/baad-ass-mother-flockers/4564978718" target="_blank">Baad Ass Mother Flockers</a> have been chosen and invited based on their personalities, the quality
of their end product and the fact that they offer something unique. White
linen covered trestle tables are discouraged and hard sells are banished, we want
you to come along, have a drink and a good old natter to the Mother Flockers
that catch your eye. The Mo Flo’s are being challenged to create stands
that are totally unique and interactive. As well as having awesome Mo Flo’s at
the show, we will be running some competitions, having a fashion
walkabout/ramble and organising a treasure hunt! Prizes will include free
photography sessions, make overs and styling, free cakes, accessories and Big
BIG Discount vouchers.</span></span></div>

I can't believe a year has passed. But it's been a really great 12 months. All starting with marrying the boy of my dreams.<br />
<br />
Maybe one day I'll tell you the story of how we got together, it was nearly 8 years ago and every day I still can't believe this boy has chosen to spend the rest of his forever with me. Me? Why me? Hell I don't even care why, I'm just so ruddy glad he chose me!<br />
<br />
I thought I'd share with you my 15 favourite photos (I tried to make it 10 but it was impossible) from our wedding day. Believe me, it was no easy task picking my top 15. <a href="http://www.stevegerrardphotography.com/" target="_blank">Steve Gerrard</a> and <a href="http://www.annkathrinkoch.com/" target="_blank">Ann-Kathrin Koch</a> captured our day in the most amazing way, so many parts I didn't even know existed. So beautifully shot I cannot thank them enough for freezing my memories in time. I simply love every single shot but these select few really strike a chord with me. And I'll tell you why.<br />
<br />
But first let me thank my amazing husband for the most wonderful 12 months. For his constant support. His constant love. His gorgeous smile and for always believing in me. You are my best friend in the whole world and I love you more than words can describe xxx<br />
<br />

1. My bouquet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This photo holds more than the memory of my bouquet, but a million other memories. My Grandad sadly passed away 3 years ago (just over two when I got married) and the feelings of his loss were still quite raw. He was my only Grandad and he was the best. I so very much wanted him to be a part of my day. He would have loved it, especially as there were dominos (his favourite game) on the tables for people to play. I searched everywhere to find the right charm to house a photo of the lovely Ted. In the end it came from Philadelphia. A cherub held a small locket heart and my Grandad was with me every step of the way.</div>

Ann was sent to my apartment to capture Anthony whilst he got ready. I cherish these photos; an insight into how his morning went. And she would never know but she has captured so much in this image. Like brother like brother eh? Anthony is renowned for biting his bottom lip. When he's feeling thoughtful, when he's nervous, when he's about to get married!</div>

My true inspirations when it comes to marriage. They're still rocking it 32 years on. This picture really caught our relationship. Yes, we've had our ups and downs (I was a teenage girl after all) but ultimately we have a whole heap of laughs and stupid moments and this was one of those. My Moms face cracks me up!</div>

5. Feeling totally composed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Throughout the morning I kept hearing the same question "Are you feeling nervous yet?" and I can honestly say that not once did I feel nervous. Before the day got here I had a massive phobia of walking down the aisle, mainly in case I tripped up but when the day came, I was just so beyond excited to see Anthony I didn't feel nervous at all. </div>

And it rained and it rained. My clever photographers made it look like not a drop fell from the sky but I can tell you it most definitely did. I loved my shoes so much, I love my tattoo (and its relevance to when I met Anthony) and I sort of loved that it rained. It didn't spoil anything. Yeah it made us a bit late back from our photos but it meant we got to chill in the car, listening to the sound of it lashing down and having 10 minutes to think about what we'd just done :)</div>

10. Scarface</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This photo reminds me of why we chose our venue. Not only was it for the building itself, but for its surroundings and the awesome art that you can find in the streets of The Custard Factory; like the Scarface painting. The graffiti art changes pretty much every week in the Custard Factory so we were well chuffed when this got to be the backdrop to one of our photos.</div>

15. A moment for two</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Possibly my favourite of the bunch. This photo was obviously planned by Mr Gerrard. And I'm so glad. We didn't just happen to be outside, in front of the light, in the perfect pose. We were put there. And it was possibly the best few moments of my day. I think you can see from our faces that we enjoyed every single part of those few seconds. Standing there with my forehead against Anthony's, I got to take everything in, feel completely at ease and steal a few minutes with my boy amidst a crazy party. I won't easily forget the moment this was taken.</div>

<div>
Sometimes I can't believe it's been a whole year since I married the boy of my dreams!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's very hard sometimes to put into words how it feels to have found 'The One' and you can be so overcome with emotion that sometimes there are just no words at all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But this piece covers it off pretty well. See if you can relate to it, and if you can't, I hope one day you will. It is truly the best feeling in the world.</div>

Thanks Bob Marley for taking the words out of my brain and putting them on paper.</div>

Zena and Chris are getting married next year in Portugal. It was a pleasure to design their wedding invitations for them.<br />

Hope you like them :)<br />

<br />
No, he's not a bridal gown designer or a photographer...or anything remotely related to weddings. But he is an inspiration.<br />
<br />
The Paralympic Games have been full of inspiring stories and his is certainly up there with them. Zanardi was a racing driver, Formula 1, ChampCar and IndiCar racing were all areas in which he showed great talent and potential.<br />
<br />
However, in September of 2001 and he had a horrific crash which resulted in him losing both of his legs. They were disintegrated beyond repair - in a similar condition to someone who may have stepped on a land mine. Devastating.<br />
<br />
In no way did this stop him from getting back into the driving seat and still enjoying the thrill of the ride - but it also meant he could compete in Paralympic sports.<br />
<br />
He competes in hand cycling and at Londons 2012 Paralympic games, the race was held at Brands Hatch. Poignant for him that he should win gold on a racing car track.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the point of me telling you about this man is this is this. I watched his race and I saw him win; leagues ahead of his competitors but more than the race itself, the thing that struck me were his words.<br />
<br />
He said this...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It really struck a chord with me, because that's what I'm doing. I LOVE what I do, so so much and I'm hoping that my passion will pay off. It made me believe in myself and hopefully it will make you believe in yourself if you are embarking on a new career or following your dreams or focusing on new goals.<br />
<br />
If you think about it, it just makes sense.<br />
<br />
Happy Inspirational Friday everyone<br />

Mainly due to the fabulous <a href="http://www.lovemydress.net/blog/2012/08/vintage.html" target="_blank">Love My Dress</a> featuring a photoshoot that I was involved in.<br />
<br />
I met Virginia of <a href="http://www.gingermegs-vintage.com/" target="_blank">Gingermegs Vintage</a> (who by the way has a brilliant <a href="http://www.facebook.com/GingermegsVintage" target="_blank">facebook page</a> filled with amazing, and gorgeous photos. You NEED to like it!) back in May when I took part in a shoot with <a href="http://www.vintagehenhouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Vintage Hen House</a> to promote their <a href="http://www.vintagehenhouse.co.uk/index.php/component/content/article/13-styled-shoots/116-the-mad-men-hen-party" target="_blank">Mad Men Hen Party Package</a>. Virginia was supplying all the outfits for the shoot and I got to play dress up in front of the camera. I instantly loved Virginia. She's so funny and was so in love with her job, completely immersed in a world of real vintage.<br />
<br />
The photographer at that shoot was Nicola of <a href="http://www.daffodilwaves.co.uk/" target="_blank">Daffodil Waves</a>. With a mutual love of Curried Goat, we hit it off straight away. And making us look beautiful were Claudia of <a href="http://butterflystyling.co.uk/" target="_blank">Butterfly Styling</a> and Emily Jayne of <a href="http://www.emily-jayne.com/" target="_blank">Emily Jayne Image Consultancy</a><br />
<br />
Shortly after the shoot I spoke with Virginia about rebranding her business and making it work harder for her, now that I'd seen what she was really about. A few weeks later, Gingermegs had a brand new logo and sign hanging outside the new shop. This was the start of a lovely friendship.<br />
<br />

<br />
We had such a fabulous time at the Mad Men shoot that Virginia called us all back together a couple of months later to help promote her new (and utterly fabulous) range of bridal gowns. She was filling up on stock and in talks about having a new premises to house it all. As part of this new shop, she would have a bridal section and she needed a way of shouting to the world and telling everyone that Gingermegs stocked REAL vintage gowns.<br />
<br />
So the dream team were back together. Only this time, I wasn't only getting to play dress up, I was providing the floral goodies. Off to the beautiful <a href="http://www.birminghambotanicalgardens.org.uk/" target="_blank">Birmingham Botanical Gardens</a> we went and the rest, as they say, is history.<br />
<br />
All the gorgeous hair wear was courtesy of <a href="http://www.labelleepoquevintage.co.uk/" target="_blank">La Belle Epoque</a>. The items are stunning and can be found at Virginias shop as well as other stockists.<br />
<br />
Below are some of my favourite shots from the day.<br />
<br />
Enjoy and I'd love to hear what you think.<br />

<br />
Here's a peak at some of the things I got up to in the rather wet month of August. But the rain doesn't stop fun and creativity.<br />
<br />
A massive highlight in August was being featured on one of my favourite blogs, Love My Dress. If you remember back in July I told you about how I'd taken part in a shoot with <a href="http://www.gingermegs-vintage.com/" target="_blank">Gingermegs vintage</a> to promote her new range of vintage bridal gowns. I provided all the flowers for the shoot. Well now you can see it <a href="http://www.lovemydress.net/blog/2012/08/vintage.html" target="_blank">here</a> in its full glory! I will be sharing some more of the photos with you in a blog post coming very soon.<br />
<br />
So how was your August? What did you get up to?<br />
<br />

<br />
Music has always been a a massive part of my life. Something that started with Bananarama and Kylie Minogue that led me to be heavily involved in amateur musical theatre and to be a singer from the ages of 16 to 21; firstly as part of a girl group (I just wanted to be a Spice Girl really) who supported Atomic Kitten and worked with 70's hero and legend Leo Sayer to being a solo artist writing and co producing my own music.<br />
<br />
Music is still a huge part of my life today, and although I have left the singing behind my world would be a very empty one without melodies and dirty bass beats filling my ears at any given moment. Luckily for me, I married a man equally as much into music as me. For me, it's as much about the lyrics as it is the beats - for the boy, it's all about the bass line. People use songs to express how they feel when they can't quite find the words themselves, whether that's to say good bye to someone at a funeral or to say hello to a girl they have a crush on. This is why, for some, music is such an important part of their wedding day.<br />
<br />
Our wedding play list was immense and it was a very very long list compiled by both Me, Anthony and our gusts. Our RSVP cards contained a section where guests could write down their favourite songs for us to play. Needless to say we ended up with a completely mixed bag but it was the perfect play list.<br />
<br />
It was a difficult task to pick the most 'important ' songs of the day. You know, walking down the aisle, first dance etc. We hand picked every single song and for a reason, but the ones that had the most prominence were ones that a, we adored for the melody and b, had a lyrical loveliness that we could relate to. So, here were our choices, and I'd love o hear about yours...<br />

<br />
I didn't have a wedding cake. I opted for scrummy totally gorgeous delicious need to eat 15 of them in one go cupcakes, that we served with coffee after we had gorged on delicious West Indian food (and steak!)<br />
<br />
My cupcakes were made by the very talented <a href="http://www.buttonsbakery.co.uk/" target="_blank">Buttons Bakery</a>. Look at the pretty...<br />

They also had alcohol in them! Yes thats right...cocktail cupcakes. Including strawberry daiquri and pina colada. </div>
<br />
<br />
However, if I had of had a cake...any one of these amazingly yummy looking ones would have done the trick! In fact, the first unbelievable cake from <a href="http://www.choccywoccydoodah.com/" target="_blank">Choccywoccydoodah</a> would've matched my theme down to a 'tea' (couldn't help myself!) Also, check out the raspberries on the last cake. Yum to the max!<br />
<br />
Are you having a cake on your day?<br />
<br />
Enjoy cake lovers.<br />

STOP right now! Why are you growing your hair for your wedding??? I don't really get it. The idea (in my head) is to still be you on your wedding day, not someone you're uncomfortable with because you have frustrating hair.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, long hair definitely has its advantages...limitless updo's and gorgeous bohemian waves to name a couple...but if that's not really you on a day to day 'vibe' why make it you for one day?<br />
<br />
I actually cut my hair for my wedding - admittedly I ended up wearing it up in the end so the length had no real impact anyway but I went from bust length hair to chin length - I like to think I'm rebellious like that!<br />
<br />
I have been a bridesmaid on numerous occasions (thankfully the rhyme didn't stick to me and I got to be a bride too) and it has always involved the bride stressing over her hair and what to do with it and after they've curled it to death, because obviously you have to have curly hair on your wedding day when really your hair is poker straight, the wind blew once during the photos and all the curls disappeared so there I've been in my bridesmaids dress re curling the brides hair...again for it to fall out in a matter hours. Also I know many a bride who grew her barnet for the big day to swiftly chop it all off even before honeymoon!<br />
<br />
So I guess my point is this...be yourself, rock your hair how you always rock it, be comfortable and don't feel this unnecessary pressure to have long flowing locks on your big day. There is some inspiration below to show you how gorgeous a short haired bride can be. (I may have overdone it with the photos but there are some seriously gorgeous short hair brides that it was very difficult to pick my favourites! Keep scrolling...trust me the last photos are worth it!)<br />
<br />
Where your pixie with pride ladies!<br />
<br />
Are you feeling a pressure to grow your hair or are you going for 'you' on your big day?<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I don't normally do a Monday post, but last week I was so inspired and so I thought to hell with it, I can't wait until Tuesday to post this! I'm going to do it today.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">As a Fabric Florist, Graphic Designer and general creator of things, I often get asked "who do you look to for inspiration?"</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I always find it a difficult question to answer.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I don't think it's always a case of who. I believe inspiration is all around us - from a dusty road sign to a print in a glossy magazine.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I talk about inspiration because last week was one FULL of inspiration - I was literally bowled over with the amount of inspiring things I saw on the internet (let's not even talk about the Olympics, I'll just cry - mortified that it's over!). So I thought I'd share of few things that got me inspired - hopefully they might inspire you too :)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I have been a lover of this magazine for years and they post some really good content on their facebook page. Including this Marvel comic-inspired A/W12 collection by <a href="http://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/14168/1/exclusive-images-romance-was-borns-berserkergang" target="_blank">Romance was Born</a>. VERY cool. and I'm VERY tempted to do a comic-inspired bouquet! How awesome would that be!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">This literally leaves me breathless. And it is just one of many shots from a 3 year project. Kirsty teamed up with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: VijayaRegular, Garamond, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 28px;">Elbie Van Eeden (who will also be exhibiting at <a href="http://www.allaboutewe.co.uk/" target="_blank">EWE</a> in November) to create this phenomenal </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: VijayaRegular, Garamond, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 28px;">work.

Putting a website together is a tricky bit of work but as my little business is slowly growing (and I now have a wedding in France that I am creating a ceiling feature for! International baby!) I thought I best have a functional place for people to visit and contact me from.<br />
<br />
So...here she is!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.beautifulbirdcreations.com/">www.beautifulbirdcreations.com</a><br />
<br />
I have changed my mind countless times over the past for months about how the site should look but now I'm really happy that it is on brand and says what I do in a simple and concise way.<br />
<br />
No doubt there will be changes to come in the future. But for now, I'm very happy to introduce my site to you :)<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

She believes in lots of the same things as me, or perhaps I believe in the same things as her. This quote from the gorgeous lady herself just makes me smile.<br />

What a busy month! But so so much fun. I made LOTS of flowers, played dress up with Gingermegs Vintage for a vintage bridal shoot (shot by the lovely Nicola of Daffodil Waves) and I went to Ibiza!!<br />
<br />
Cannot wait for August to see what that brings :)<br />
<br />
What did you get up to in July? Did it whiz by for you too?<br />

All this sunshine has got me feeling happy, relaxed and well, sunny!<br />
<br />
It can be difficult to make yellow work as a colour theme for a wedding. If its too subtle, it can end up getting washed out, if its used too much it can be a little blinding. But you CAN get the right mix. Use it well and wisely and you can end up with an amazing result!<br />
<br />
Here are 16 wonderfully gorgeous yellow things to inspire you (and yes, there is a dog with a bow tie!) :) Enjoy.<br />
