As an ex goth, I can’t help being attracted to dark art in general", began Lauren of French Made, who provided the cakes for this shoot.

Key Reflections

September 27, 2014

With a budget of just £4000, Ryan and Connie planned a beautiful 1950s inspired wedding. The bride wore a dress made especially for her by Honeypie Boutique, shoes from Next and fun Tatty Divine jewellery. The bridesmaids' vintage inspired dresses were by Vivien of Holloway. "We love colours, patterns and prints so we wanted the wedding to reflect that", said Connie. "All the bridesmaids chose their own coloured dress and I had a bright pink ice cream bag!!

I'm currently sat in Gala's beautiful apartment, sipping PG Tips and watching Dolly snoozing on my bed. Hank got in with me last night (he was SO FUNNY, trying to be all cute and sneaky, although when you're a 60lb pitbull there's nothing sneaky about you!) but when I woke up this morning, Dolly was spooning me. Oh puppies.

I got an email last week from a reader who wanted advice on how to get started in the wedding industry. "For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be part of the wedding biz", she wrote, "But where do I begin? I am pretty crafty and I just love all aspects of weddings. I must spend most of my waking hours sifting through your website, Etsy and Pinterest. I've saved thousands of pictures of bouquets, décor of every theme, you name it. I want so desperately to be a part of it, I just don't know where to start."
