Kate Moss' Incredible English Fête Rock n' Roll Wedding

It's taken a few months, but we can now see the incredible Mario Testino pictures from Kate Moss' wedding to Jamie Hince. They're just as wistful and romantic as you would hope them to be, with a good dollop of vintage glamour thrown in for luck. There's a definite Midsummer Night's Dream feel to them - and I'm loving Kate's entire wedding outfit - everything is exquisite, from her divine John Galliano dress, to her daisy-embroidered veil and her simple tennis bracelet. The best thing is that it almost looks like a normal English wedding - minus the supermodel element! I'm loving that Kate held her reception in an English marquee and chose daisies as her signature flowers - so light-hearted and non-showy. Also loving the flower girls' French Bonpoint dresses and the fleet of vintage Rolls Royces for the bridal party. Check out the rest of the pictures in American Vogue - there are some amazing shots of Kate's famous friends.

Say it with Verse

You've said it with diamonds and the best Chanel, now give the gift of expression and say it with verse. Impressed? Unfortunately, it's not my own work, but that of the clever people at Poetry A La Carte, who compose bespoke poems for those of us who feel romantic, but don't know how to express it. All you need to do is fill in a questionnaire on their website about the subject of 'your' poem, pay them £150, and they'll put pen to paper on your behalf. Fantastic as a surprise present for your groom, or even as a wedding gift for a happy couple. **Hot off the Press** The lovely Mark at Poetry A La Carte is offering £25 off each poem to readers of Before the Big Day!

Real Wedding: Eleni & David

Prepare yourselves for something special! I'd like to welcome a brand new British photographer to Before the Big Day. Marianne Taylor is based in London, but will travel! Check out these gorgeous pics she took of Eleni and David's big day at Tamesis Sailing Club in Teddington on a beautiful summer's day last year. The happy couple arrive in a boat - such a super-cool idea. Other stealworthy details include the cute pink ribbons wrapped around the cutlery, Eleni's garden-style peony bouquet, and the fab Couple Fact Sheets. Perfect for guests you haven't seen for a while, and a great way to get the table talking at your reception. I'm also deeply in love with the baby's breath in Eleni's hair, and her stunning dress, which was made by her sister!
