You don't want your groom, or his party to be wearing a...

If the weather outside is frightful....Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? I always get a little nervous to be honest when the weatherman talks about snowy conditions, and until last year I didn't even own a pair of traditional wellington boots! With freezing conditions forecast for later this week, it got me thinking about cold/wet/snowy weather on your wedding day and what on earth you do to keep your shoes, and dress from being spoilt! One solution that I have recently come across and will match your wedding dress perfectly...

Tylney Hall Tick's all the Right Boxes for Aimee @ hitched

Last weekend Fran was away, and I was lucky enough have the opportunity to visit the wedding showcase at Tylney Hall in Hook, on her behalf. As a bride to be myself, I know all too well how important choosing the right venue for your big day is, and Tylney Hall could not have stolen my heart more. Set in 66 acres of historic gardens and parkland in the heart of Hampshire, this Grade II listed mansion was once a private school, and has retained much of its original character today. Driving through...

Last Thursday Abi from the venues team and I drove up to High Wycombe to experience an FYEO Portraits boudoir photo shoot!

Last Thursday Abi from the venues team and I drove up to High Wycombe to experience an FYEO Portraits boudoir photo shoot! I met Alex Burns 4 years ago at a dinner and when she told me her profession I instantly wanted to learn more. It has taken me this long to gain the courage to actually visit the studio and I have come away from this experience feeling more confident and better about my body than ever before.

On Saturday November 6th, my dear friend Kathleen married Carl, the man of her dreams in the quaint town of Alexandria, Virginia

On Saturday November 6th, my dear friend Kathleen married Carl, the man of her dreams in the quaint town of Alexandria, Virginia. This was not the first wedding abroad that I have been to, but it certainly was one to remember! Kat and Carl live in Dublin together and got engaged a year ago. They had been planning every detail of their wedding ever since and seeing everything come together through out the year was truly enjoyable for me as an outsider looking in. Like Kat, I also needed to find a...
