black dress By Eleanor Ofori

When it comes to wedding dresses there has been lots of chat recently about black being the new white? So I’m completely on topic when I say that I am in love with this black dress designed by Eleanor Ofori. I met Eleanor at the National Wedding Show. She makes beautiful bespoke wedding dresses and I was instantly drawn to her lovely designs. Clearly a very talented (and also lovely to chat to) lady. Given the huge number of glowing testimonials I’ve read its clearly a dream working with her to create your perfect wedding dress. Eleanor designs not only…

How we Saved the Date!

Front Ribbon

The first DIY task that I tackled was our Save the Date cards. Since we are getting married on Easter Saturday, many people we know often go away for an Easter break, as we ourselves did this year, so we wanted to make sure they all knew to keep the weekend free. As soon as we got engaged I knew I would want to make all of our stationery myself. I started thinking about ideas almost straight away but as I was in the middle of my professional exams to become an Architect, I didn’t start making them until my…

The perfect wedding present for a romantic couple

Multi Metal Signs Cropped, Lily and Lime

If you’re getting married and looking for pressie inspiration, or if you’re wondering what to give the couple who have everything but are hopeless romantics then what about this LOVE sign… I found this whilst browsing the interwebulator on a fab new site called GiftWrapped&Gorgeous. These silver signs are the prefect pressie at £44.95 (I rarely spend over £50 on a wedding present as its the thought that counts and I think 50 quid is pretty generous anyway) You can choose from LOVE, DREAM or HOPE or if you’re asking for them on your wedding list why not pick all…

Bridesmaids bouquet

I love autumn flowers – the rich reds, oranges and yellows. I’ve been dying to showcase some autumnal wedding flower arrangements (even though I am acutely aware that we’re now moving on to the cusp of autumn/ winter!) so I was pretty happy when I got these lovely pics from Planet Flowers.  I feature their work quite a lot on LMW because quite simply I love it and also they always seem to use seasonal and local flowers and foliage. This wedding was on the 14th November at Drumtochty Castle, an award winning wedding venue in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Gemma from…

Wedding preparations from blogger & bride to be, Gaynor

  • November 11, 2009

Hi everyone, I’m very excited to be guest blogging for Little Miss Wedding and thought I should start by telling you all a bit about our wedding and giving you an overview of where we are in our preparations. Graham and I are getting married on the 3rd April 2010 and I started my own wedding blog, Our Day by Design, back in May, to document all of our planning and any ideas along the way. I have enjoyed it a lot more than I ever thought I would, it’s become a part of my everyday life and I have…
