Real Tower of London Wedding: Vix & Rory - Reception Details

It's time to take a look a the fantastic reception details from this gorgeous London wedding. Vix and Rory chose The Dickens Inn on St Katherine's Dock for their wedding reception, and decorated it beautifully with traditional British bunting, pretty woven-willow hearts, and floral displays of sweet-smelling stocks teamed with baby's breath. They spoilt their wedding guests with not one but two, tiered wedding cakes - one elegant white and one made of cheese! I love the apple place markers, and the little fancy-dress favours, cheap and cheerful, they're the best ice-breaker, and make for hilarious photographs. Stunning pictures published with thanks to Erika from PhotoMadly and second shooter Dade Freeman from Krysalis Photography - great London Bridge portrait pictures.

Real Tower of London Wedding: Vix & Rory

Every now and then I feature a wedding where I really wish I'd been a guest, and Vix and Rory's looks like a riot! They celebrated their big day in London, with a lovely church ceremony, followed by their wedding reception at The Dickens Inn on St Katherine's Dock. I've fallen for Vix's elegant wedding style, her beautiful strapless gown, fur cape, cathedral length veil, and vintage lace fan. Bridesmaid bouquets were made up of white peonies and baby's breath, and I love the flower girls' cute baby's breath flower crown. Don't miss Part 2 of this wedding tomorrow, when I'll feature all the fabulous wedding details. Huge thanks to Erika from PhotoMadly and second shooter Dade Freeman, for their gorgeous pictures - I particularly love the portrait shots taken against the London skyline!

Real Desert Wedding: Julie & Patrick

Yum yum yum! This is a mega-wedding for you, fresh from the desert! As a UK wedding blogger, I love looking at weddings from far across the pond. While we have to worry about rain and wind on our wedding days, US brides are often preoccupied with whether it's going to be too hot. Julia and Patrick hosted their wedding in Joshua Tree at the Sacred Sands Bed and Breakfast, in a stunning desert landscape. Many of the designs and wedding theme were created by the couple, with tonnes of wedding ideas to steal. There were also many eco friendly aspects to their wedding – all the succulents on the tables and even the succulent bouquets were re-plantable, all the food was organic vegetarian cuisine from the couple’s own favorite recipes, and even the Sacred Sands is an environmentally-friendly building (built using straw bale walls as insulation). As wedding favors, everyone received a poster with the couple’s wedding logo and theme from Clone Press {love it!}, and Julie’s gorgeous dress was by Jim Hjelm. The reception was held outside under a canopy of stars, and they had bunt cakes and biscottis for dessert. All in all, a perfect evening! Huge thanks to Stephanie and Isaac at Stephanie Williams Photography for their gorgeous pictures, and description of this fab wedding.

Loving Cute Bird Cake Toppers

Choosing your wedding cake is double-decision time! First you need to select your cake style and flavour, and then you need to accessorise with a cake topper. What do you think of these? Aren't they gorgeous? They're made by Lauren Alane, and you can either choose one of her ready-made couples, or have a bespoke design just for you. Get your order in quick - she's struggling to keep up with demand.

Divine Twine for Wedding Stationery & Favours

Stationery has always been something of an obsession for me, but it wasn't until I start my wedding blog, that I realised I could get genuinely excited about string. Or twine to be exact. Divine Twine. Much beloved by all the US wedding blogs, it's now available in the UK via Not On the High Street. It comes in every colour, and it's perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your wedding stationery and favours.
