TWO months to go! So I'm revisiting the To-Do list from a few weeks back...

Have weddings lost their way?

Bride discovered her husband-to-be was a porn star

12:23pm Thursday 5th August 2010

Yesterday, Dr Giles Fraser, Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Catherdral, said this: "Too many modern weddings have just lost their way. I'd even say that they've become a threat to marriage itself."

Last minute DIY anyone?

Not for me, but perhaps, if you're having a summer wedding, you might like to rope a friend and make some of these?

Congratulations to Lisa and Scott

YOU may remember Lisa Dawn from our our Ask the Experts posts last year. Well Lisa has just got married and here are her fabulous photos.

Come my love, I'll tell you a tale

My invitations have taken a LONG TIME. From concept to final construction (just address labels left to do!) has been months and months. So I'm envious of this fabulous storybook invitation...

I LOVE this picture. It's like a story in itself and not necessarily one about a wedding!

DIY Flowers: the final plan

DIY Flowers: the final plan

12:28pm Wednesday 26th May 2010

SO, after a LOT of research and thinking about how much I want to leave myself to do on the day, I've decided I AM going to do flowers. Or rather, the folks and I will be doing them.

Do you know this couple?

First look - the Hayling Island way

First look - the Hayling Island way

1:47pm Tuesday 27th April 2010

Here's something you don't often see in Britain - a bride and groom foregoing the "don't meet until the altar" tradition in favour of the more American "first look" moment.

DIY Flowers: how far is too far?

DIY Flowers: how far is too far?

4:00pm Tuesday 13th April 2010

Flowers. I love flowers. I know exactly what I want my tables to look like. However, I'm pretty sure that, what with a house that needs rewiring, I can't afford them.

I absolultley love working with clients full of good energy and totally devoted to one another.
