These photos are so romantic and beautifully shot by Adrienne Gunde – it does of course help that the couple are both very good looking!. I picked out these photos as I thought its a great way to ‘Save the Date’ rather than sending traditional cards just take some pics and get some photocards made. I also had to post a few other pics of the lovely couple – the roses and the balloons – these little touches just work so well. Fantastic photography by Adrienne Gunde check out her blog for the rest of this shoot. I found these…

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…

There is a free competition going on over at Myriad Genii (they are a luxury wedding planning company) and I thought that I had better spread the word as its not everyday you get wedding freebies handed out.

I posted last week about my Save the Dates (the DIY version) – but there are lots of ways of letting your guests know about your wedding and I thought that this was quite a novel way – the Save the Date Fridge Magnet by Lovely Favours. You can get whatever you want designed on their stationery and I quite like the idea of sending everyone one of these – if its on their fridge they certainly won’t forget. Lovely Favours is boutique design company that specialises in unusual and unique stationery, favours and table decorations – they say that…

Its one of those tricky things – you need to send something out really before the invite – or at least to let everyone know who is on ‘THE LIST’ and that you want to invite them – a Save the Date is perfect and in line with the rest of our wedding we wanted something a little bit fun, quirky and easy – definitely not something that was going to cost an arm and a leg either. Lovely’s sister happens to be a bit of a design guru and knocked up this simple design for us which we just…
