A Sunday Kind of Love – WIN Tickets to Mark Niemierko’s Valentine’s Party at Browns Bride!

Kat

February 6, 2011

This week I was lucky enough to meet the legendary wedding planner Mark Niemierko. I'm not going to lie, I was nervous about meeting him as I really didn't know what to expect... or why a celebrity/high end wedding planner would want to meet me. However I'm pleased to report back that we got on like a house on fire! I seriously love this dude. He may be the planner du jour to the stars and I may be the punk rock chick with funny coloured hair and one to many tattoos, but over a couple of Cosmopolitans and a lot of gossip, I realised we're very very similar indeed! I have since decided that we are best friends. I hope he realises this.

Dolly Parton Plays Fairy Godmother

La Photographie

November 28, 2010

This session is way to awesome! When I opened the initial email from photographer Stephanie, I gasped. "Is that the real Dolly Parton?!" "It sure is," came the response, "My lovely friend Rebecca was married last month in Gatlinburg, TN. Before her wedding, we did a very special photoshoot with her Aunt Dolly at a family home in Sevierville. Since Dolly is not only Rebecca’s aunt, but also her godmother, Rebecca had the idea to do a shoot where Dolly acts as her fairy godmother, who has come to get her ready for her big day. Here is the story for you to enjoy!"

A Sunday Kind of Love – The New Vivienne Westwood/Melissa Shoe Range

Kat

November 7, 2010

Anyone that knows me at all, will be well aware that I'm having a bit of a love affair with Vivienne Westwood...it's more of a lifetime commitment actually, but when she launches new ranges like this my love is rekindled just a little bit more! This week I was casually browsing the online store when I saw these babies. Oh My Lord. A new Vivienne/Melissa shoe range? Be still my beating heart! They are not available until the end of November (mean teases!) but I think I know what's going to be on my Christmas list this year...

A Sunday Kind of Love – Working Together, Rocking Out & Making Love Not War

Kat

October 24, 2010

When you run your own business it's incredibly easy to become fiercely competitive and secular without even knowing it. I've found that especially in the wedding industry there are so many of us trying our hardest to be successful that a lot of the time, it can all get rather bit bitchy and competitive. That sucks. I'm happy to say that although I've had my fair share of niggles with others in the same field as me in the past that I've come out the other side and brought a few of my favourite other bloggers (shock horror - shouldn't they be my competitors!?) along for the Rock n Roll ride. I'm happy and thrilled to call them my friends and colleagues

A Sunday Kind of Love – Ooh Laa Laa Paris!

Kat

October 10, 2010

Bonjour mes petits amis! Tomorrow I am heading over the channel to Paris (!) to embark on the photo shoot to end all photo shoots! This bad boy is seriously going to blow the lid off everything I've done before. I am a mixture of excited, elated and seriously nervous but I literally can not wait to stand under The Eiffel Tower and meander down The Champs-Elysées dressed in my finery...oh and what finery it is. I'm not really allowed to tell you anything else about it, but I do believe we've got some of the most exciting and well known industry experts and designers on board! You are literally going to die when you see what we've got up to. Because of this mini-adventure, posting will be a bit light over the next few days (I do have a couple of awesome wedding scheduled to keep you going though) and I won't be replying to emails until I return.

A Sunday Kind of Love – Gareth’s Wedding Plans

Kat

September 12, 2010

This is totally sad so you'll have to forgive me. Also, it's 6:30am and I've been awake for 3 hours. I don't know why and maybe my mind is going a bit haywire but I just came up with this ridiculous idea for a blog post so I'm going to run with it. I was watching 'Don't Tell the Bride' with Gareth the other day (for those of you who aren't in the UK, it's a TV programme where basically the groom plans the whole wedding - he picks and organises literally everything - the venue, the dress, the flowers, the invitations, the theme - it's brilliant!) I bet lots of couples do this as they watch this show but Gareth & I got chatting about what he'd do if he had to plan our wedding. Now I've either subliminally trained him well or he's been paying close attention to the blog and just not telling me but OMG his ideas were quite frankly awesome. As soon as he said "short vintage dress from Fur Coat No Knickers (yes he named the shop!), mismatched colours, summer meadow" I was sold! So much in fact that I totally want to marry him all over again and have him plan the whole thing.
