Wedding Shoes…For Him
“Can I wear trainers to the wedding?” I’ve heard this question asked by more grooms, groomsmen, and male wedding attendees than just my own sneakerhead husband. Turns out that women aren’t the only ones who like to wear pieces of art on their feet. My husband showed up on the Day wearing a pair of Lavan calfskin boots that he personally handpainted with my portrait.

Another beautiful wedding.. normally we focus on weddings and brides based in the UK and look to show UK wedding ideas, but saying that there are so many great tips and wedding ideas to be had from celebrations abroad that I had to include this one (and I adore the pics). Just because these shots might be from sunny California it doesn’t mean that you can’t create the same atmosphere and feeling in Cornwall or Devon! I had six weeks to plan my wedding. My British fiancé was in London while I, an American, was doing 60-hour work weeks in…

Weddings are meant to be fun, stress free and relaxed , but often I have seen brides get upset, anxious and not really enjoying the run up to the wedding and all the planning. Its all meant to be about you as a couple and what makes you both happy -take time out to be together and remember what is really important about getting married. Lovely Elisa had only 6 weeks to plan her wedding, but did a fab job of it. Reading her real life wedding stories (which are going to be up on the site shortly) made…
