{She Bridal}

It is hard for me to recommend anyone more fabulous than the lovely Angie Mac of She Bridal in Ironbridge Shropshire. If you are on the hunt for your perfect wedding dress, you have to give her a call and make an appointment to head on over to her gorgeous shop. Her items are all sourced within the UK, and the quality is superb.

{Tea and Roses}

 

I am a firm believer in cupcakes and all things tea and crockery related. When I stumbled across Tea and Roses, a Shropshire based crockery and accessories hire company, I was elated. Their vintage ethic is perfect and their prices fabulous. What better way to celebrate in style than with vintage settings? 

A bit about Tea and Roses....

"Tea & Roses began life in the heart of the beautiful Shropshire countryside. We are based on a family farm and our business is run from our 300 year old timber framed farmhouse.

Our name is inspired by the constant use of the rose over the centuries in many of our English crockery designs. Our collection includes many pretty floral designs from the 1800s onwards. From delicate Victorian blush roses, hand painted Art Deco daisies to bold bright 1960s roses, a feast of designs. Makers names include, Wedgwood, Clarice Cliff, Royal Doulton, Paragon, Royal Albert and Tuscan Ware to name but a few.

Tea and Roses was created by Deborah Meredith who has always had a passion for vintage design and ceramics. Having trained in Art and Design and Conservation and Restoration she decided to share her passion and creative skills with others."

Here are just a few of my favourite of their pieces. They're certainly one to bookmark! 

{Rowton Castle}

One of the largest challenges when planning an event or wedding, is to find your perfect venue.

Rowton Castle outside of Shrewsbury is a great location set amongst the rolling Shropshire Hills. It's a great location that hosts dozens of weddings annually, their packages are priced accordingly to the fabulous and professional service they offer. Like any venue though, they provide a fantastic canvas with which to build your day upon, it is your choice of flowers, décor, paperwear, that tailor your day to suit you.

Here are only a few images, have a peep at the rest of their galleries for more....

{Inspiration}

Mmm.... what says lazy sunday more than some gorgeous inspiration.

On your special day, make your photographer work for you. If you want some gorgeous shots like the one below, give them a heads up in advance and check with your venue as to whether a background can be set up. It's a fabulous way to get around unfortunate weather. Your photographer should always have a boot load of props, open frames, big chunky letters, blackboards, check in advance and don't be afraid to bug them. If you're looking for fabulous and recommended photographers, have a peep at some of those featured on the lower left of this page.

{Fabulous Summer Outfit Ideas}

The wonderful thing about summer weddings is the lack of layers and freedom to wear soft breezy silks and chiffons.

Muted tones and mixtures of textures scream relaxed elegance.

{Gorgeous Setting}

Oh my, I think I've found potentially the most gorgeous table setting... Antique china and Macaroons? I think so.

The key when setting a table, or planning a table setting is to focus on one piece, whether it be the centrepiece, or the crockery, the glasswear, or the guests, the key with elaborate style is to keep it simple.

If you want to try your hand at making your own macaroons {this} is a recipe I've tried and tested.

{Julieann Beads}

When it comes to bridal jewellery and accessories, you have to be confident in the knowledge that they will shimmer and shine accordingly. In terms of accessories and jewellery, I am yet to find a bespoke crafts person in Shropshire to top Julieann of Julieann Beads. Her collections are such that they can be perfectly mixed and matched to be tailored to your needs. 

"Julieann Beads are a design led, family business based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Founded in 2005, our unique and distinctive wirework jewellery features handmade glass beads, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals and gemstones sourced from around the world."

This are just a few of my many favourites of Julieann beads...

{Yana Photography}

Like I describe in an earlier article {here}, when it comes to your wedding day you only have one shot at it. That is why I find that so much importance lies upon finding your perfect photographer. They will go through everything with you throughout your day and it is vital that you establish a relationship and keep a good level of honesty with each other. 

Looking through Yana Photography's galleries I am astounded by the fantastic quality of her work. 

A little bit about Yana... 

"Yana is a classically trained photoartist and a member of British Institute of Professional Photographers. Yana's quality of work has been appreciated by clients from around the world. 

APPROACH. My photographic approach is a reflection of my personality – I am an observer with a keen eye for detail. Through my photography I see the essence of beauty, style, elegance; and an importance of the right moment. I will discuss with you before your wedding day, how we can create natural, full of emotions images of you with no lengthy posing and very little effort on your part. You can enjoy the excitement of the day secure in your knowledge that your wedding day will be recorded in the most elegant style without interruptions."

{Pre Wedding Shoot Ideas}

When it comes to planning your gorgeous day, there'll be alot you'll cover in advance. Such as make up test runs, dress fittings, and meetings with your photographers and videographers. But while you're having your test hair and make up, why not book an hour with your photographer in a studio? Get some snaps with your bridesmaids as keepsakes.
