♡ Vanessa & Ian's Professional Wedding Day Images ♡

Vanessa and Ian's wonderful Wedding at Capesthorne Hall & Pavilion was such a beautiful wonderful day.

These two gorgeous people are so in love and you can see that they are just perfect for one another.

These gorgeous professional photographs were taken by the very talented Tobiah Tayo and Peter Lawson Photography.

Both amazing photographers in their own right, and I think as the images show they caught the day beautifully.

Vanessa looked a million dollars in her dress...although I think Vanessa would make a bin bag look amazing !!

These lovely pictures detail out all of the beautiful details on the day, from the gorgeous flowers, pretty tables, fabulous bespoke wedding signage, gorgeous detailing and much, much more.

I hope you all love these pictures as much as I do.

My Latest Antique Restoration Project.. Gorgeous French Lounger

I am always on the hunt for gorgeous pieces of antique furniture that need some TLC or a make over.

The other week I came across this lovely shaped lounger in one of my local antique dealers warehouse.

Its a great place for finding a bargain and for having a good old fashioned rummage in.

This lounger was looking very sad.

A wonky leg, in fact it fell off, varnished mahogany and covered in the most awful dark swirly fabric as well as being rather dirty.

Straight away though I could see past all of the above and knew what I wanted to do with it.

I adore the colour grey...I think it is so elegant and beautiful, so I knew I wanted to paint it in a beautiful shade of this lovely colour.

I also adore this particular fabric....with its gorgeous rose swags and little birds on beautiful linen.

The final result I am delighted with.

A beautiful piece of furniture restored back to life to be the beautiful piece it deserves to be.

♡ Gorgeous Pink Mallow ♡

I just adore the pretty Mallow flower.

Such a gorgeous shade of pink, it's almost hard to believe that some people regard this little flower as a weed ..... although I personally like all weeds, they are just flowers after all.

The Mallow is everywhere at the moment, in the hedgerows, by the side of the road, in the fields and probably somewhere in your very own garden.

I have planted lots of Mallow in my own garden hoping that they will seed all around.

I have been planting last years seeds of this pretty flower in our very own wild flower meadows hoping that they will grow in there and over the years self seed again and again.

Gorgeous saucer shaped flowers in the most gorgeous candy pink.

I hope you love this pretty flower as much as I do.

♡ Sweet Days & Roses, Naomi Kenton Photography & Blush Floral Design ♡

The other week I was involved in a wonderful photographic shoot that had been planned for a while between myself at Sweet Days and Roses, Naomi Kenton Photography and Blush Floral Design.

We all of us have a love of all that is beautiful, natural & vintage and therefore knew that the three of us together could create something truly lovely.

Naomi's & Bex's work is just beautiful, I adore their style of work and as well as being a fabulous photographer & florist both Naomi & Bex are gorgeous girls also.

Where Naomi lives was the ideal location for our shoot. 

Naomi's cottage is simply beautiful, a gorgeous 16th Century thatched cottage set in the beautiful Berkshire countryside and surrounded by the most beautiful scenery.

I was lucky enough to not only style the shoot with all of my pretty vintage pieces but I also was the model for the day and got to wear again my gorgeous wedding dress.

Here are some of the wonderful images from this wonderful day.

I hope you love them as much as I do.
