Passionate flamenco inspirations

We adore this passionate Spanish themed inspiration board from Wedding Nouveau with this fabulous colour combination of purples, red and a touch of orange. I think the dress is beautiful and love the table settings and of course the abanico!

Wedding website for Groomzillas!

We are loving this wedding online magazine specifically targeted at the men. As more and more Groomzillas emerge this is the perfect place for them to visit, from what tie to wear, how to propose to organising the stag dos, fabulous and so original.

Weddings. Blokes. Sorted.

From before the proposal to after the honeymoon, they bring you everything you need to know about weddings. Whether you’re the groom, the best man, father of the bride this makes interesting and useful reading.

If you want to inspire your man and get him involved in your wedding plans send him to www.iamstaggered.com

Backyard Wedding Delights

Backyard Weddings aren't what they use to be. Gone are the days of tacky affairs with cheap seats and a menu of hot dogs and burgers. La Partie Events created a fab soiree with elements I love like cafe lighting (I'm such a sucker for that!) and a fresh produce table setting - check out the raspberries in the candle holders!

It's true--we do love our weddings here. Bike-friendly weddings, DIY weddings, chandelier-in-a-barn blowouts, photobooth fandangos, the works. So I was greatly honored to be named one of the top 10 reasons to get married in Portland, Oregon. A handmade dress! Don't you think?

Lovely trunk show May 15-16

We're in the studio working up lots of one-of-a-kind pieces for the upcoming Lovely trunk show. If you're in the NYC area and in need of a special little frock, I'll be bringing a sweet collection of short dresses, gowns made from limited edition materials, and a few surprises. Watch the Lovely web site for more details.
