Jane Taylor Millinery – New Bridal Collection

Cosmopolitan Brides 2009 shoot

Jane Taylor is a London based milliner – a creator of bridal hats, fascinators and antique adornments. Her pieces are regularly featured in the top bridal magazines and you can see why.

Table Places at Wedding

.. – 100 Fun, unusual, quirky and different ideas for table names at your wedding. Well nearly 100! I asked myself the question: Do many couples go with table numbers these days? I think not – it seems that couples are picking creative and fun names for their wedding tables – something personal, meaningful to them or that fits in with their wedding theme. At our wedding we had ‘special’ places – the roads we grew up on, our parents house, the flat that we first shared. the places that we had been on holiday etc. At the time I…

Summer table flower arrangements

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and that 2010 will be a lovely year for you all. I thought I should start my posts in 2010 with our current list of wedding items still to do. Some are in progress but others still need to be started which is a little worrying! I have to admit that I haven’t progressed any further with the wedding invitations since we got back from holiday but I’m not too concerned yet as they shouldn’t take too much longer and all of our guests already know about the wedding from the save the…
