Good morning beautiful! We're welcoming Thursday with a new feature from our regular contributor Emma Woodhouse, aka The Wedding Reporter, who this week, has her focus firmly fixed on all things wide brimmed, feather trimmed and head topping. Remember, you can read Emma's other posts as part of our 'Notes on a wedding' series right here. One of my favourite things to do during down time at weddings is to survey the scene for fabulous millinery and try to describe as best I can the type of hats that by their very design defy not only conventional narrative but in...

Good afternoon darlings. I have such a absolutely gorgeous wedding to share with you this afternoon. You need to go grab a cuppa and afternoon snack and truly immerse yourself in this one. Eagle-eyed readers may recognise this bride without any introduction, from this wedding film we featured last week, produced by Reellove Films. Bride Bridge married her love Matt on 10 November 2012 at Burgh House in Hampstead, followed by a reception at 06 St Chads Place in Kings Cross, London. Now before I share this couple's images, I thought it would be a nice idea to get to... Continue reading

After who you're going to marry, the most important question tends to be where. Your choice of wedding venue impacts on everything from the date and time of your celebration to the number of guests you can invite. I found selecting the location for our wedding one of the most daunting tasks of the whole planning process. As it turns out, we discovered our venue by chance, but word of mouth isn't necessarily a reliable option for everyone. If you’re currently in the throes of searching for a wedding venue, you’ll know there are hundreds to choose from. So how... Continue reading

Good evening my loves! I really must apologise, this feature should have been up way, way before now, but you know sometimes, no matter how damned hard you try, real life gets in the way and technology conspires against you. So, apologies for this late blog post today. But better late than never, right? I've actually been in London since Saturday, so it felt only fitting today that I feature a London wedding. Matt and Kristen got married on 22nd September at Trinity Buoy Wharf - London's only lighthouse. Their wedding is one of those cool, relaxed, London vibe style... Continue reading

It's a busy time in the wedding industry calendar right now. I'm in London for The White Gallery, a huge and important annual trade fair exhibition in London, that provides an opportunity for designers to showcase and sell their new collections to retail buyers. Basically, it's all about the dresses and designs that you might see in the wedding magazines now, but that will make it to the bridal boutiques in the coming weeks and months. I love the show, it's a great opportunity to meet with colleagues in the industry and see what's new and exciting out there and... Continue reading

Good morning beautiful people. Welcome to a wonderful new week full of wedding inspiration, and do please say hello to wedding photographer Jordanna Marston and her husband Dave. Jordanna, who's work has featured on Love My Dress several times, tied the knot with Dave on 19th December last year. I love how their wedding day was full of pretty 1960's inspired accents and I adore the intimacy of these wedding photographs taken by Anna Hardy - they seem to capture so many lovely little moments between the couple and their close knit family. This intimate wedding ceremony, which involved only... Continue reading

I'll be honest, I felt quite emotional preparing this blog feature. The bride, Chelsea, is a long time and loyal reader of Love My Dress. Chelsea writes her own blog, and I remember her first ever few comments she left on Love My Dress, then the fact she went on to win this engagement shoot competition with the super talented Lisa Jane Photography and Tiffany Grant Riley. Chelsea has even donated family photography towards my vintage wedding gallery project in the past and even my book! So it really is with such pleasure that I'm finally able to share Chelsea's...

Good morning my loves. I am sat here this morning smiling as I recall an impromptu visit to the cinema last night to watch The Great Gatsby. You HAVE to go and see it on the big screen if you can before it hits the DVD sales. The cinematic sound experience, the styling, sets and performances - quite something else. I absolutely loved it. Why don't you grab yourself a copy of the book if you haven't read the story already? I only read the book very recently too and picked up a copy at my local book shop for... Continue reading

In this our final piece for today, Shahad and Simon tie the knot in their fun, elegant and family focused wedding that was held on 1st September at The Belle Epoque in Knutsford. Shahad decided that a high street wedding dress was the best (and I have to say, quite stylish) option to go for and purchased her gown from the Coast Bridal Collection. "My dress was from the Coast Bridal Collection. I wanted something that I could be really comfortable in, that I knew I could dance in all night! I loved how simple it was but it still...

What an absolutely beautiful day it is today outside! I so hope the sun is gracing you with it's divine presence and filling your space with pretty light like it is in my office today. We have a new addition to our Film Gallery this lunch time, a rather beautiful new wedding film from Frances Maddell of reellovefilms (who we adore, if you didn't know that already). Someone once said to me, that the sign of a great wedding film is one that leaves you feeling you somehow know the couple by the end. It's such a privilege isn't it... Continue reading

Good morning all, how are you? Who would have believed it would be Thursday already? The wedding I'm sharing with you this morning features a bride who clearly adores simple, elegant, understated style. Charlie and Liz tied the knot on 2nd March 2013 at Nonsuch Mansion, Surrey and Liz looked so beautiful in that timeless kind of way in her Jesús Peiró, a purchase via top bridal boutique Miss Bush Bridal (who we have personal experience of working with and highly recommend here at Love My Dress)... "I knew that I wanted a dress with sleeves and that was the... Continue reading
