Fe & Dave

Fe & DaveThere are times when you stumble upon a wedding and it gives you a little lump in your throat and you smile like a cheshire cat, this is one of those gorgeous weddings that will make your heart sing. Fe & Dave held their wedding on their stunning farm surrounded by so many oh so cute farm animals (how cute is the little pig!), their friends, family and gorgeous little boy. I can’t get over how lovely all the details are, they’re so perfect – plus how cool that the bridesmaids got driven around in a tractor, love it! This stunning wedding was captured by the wonderfully talented Jel Photography, be sure to look at the rest of Fe and Dave’s wedding here, you’ll love it. x



Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a lovely relaxing weekend I’d love to hear what you got up to. I’m so excited to show you the final part of the Neutral Styled Shoot that I did with Coralee, All the Frills and Toodles Noodles a couple weeks ago – the delicious dessert table and oh so sweet favors! We wanted everything to be as clean as possible and let the yummy baking and paper goods to bring the colour in, I love how simple everything is but effortlessly stunning and timeless at the same time. I hope that you enjoy this shoot as much as we did putting it together, I can’t wait to share all the yummy recipes for everything that you on the table, but until then be sure to have a look at part one and two if you missed them. x

Happy Monday everyone, I hope that you all had a wonderful weather and were able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful Spring weather we’ve been having – we even managed to get out into the garden and do some jobs that have been needing to get done, so lovely! It was about this time last year that we moved into our home, and our little housewarming party was nothing compared to this beautiful housewarming party by Roost! Everything is beyond stunning and styled to perfection, how adorable are the little figurines of them and the delicious dessert/cheese table! The whole party is just far too lovely for words, what do you think? x

Oh Deer

Happy Friday everyone – how lovely is it that the sun is shining, it’s so much nicer than cold rain! I’m beyond excited and so flattered to be able to share this stunning styled shoot with you, I love that gold is so popular at the moment, it’s just so pretty and works so beautifully with lovely soft pastels! How absolutely stunning is the soft table setting styled by the enormously talented All the Frills, you would feel oh so special dining at that table then getting to enjoy a few sweet treats from the dessert table by Bluebells Cakery before smashing the living day lights out of gilded piñata - it sounds like the perfect party!! This beautiful shoot was perfectly organised and photographed by the wonderfully talented Ellie from Jel Photography – she also made a little time lapse of the day, it’s so fantastic you have to watch it! I hope everyone has an exciting weekend planned, I’d love to hear what your up to – I’m hosting a delicious baking class tomorrow, then lunching with friends on Sunday – I can’t wait. x
