Wedding inspiration board — winter berries

Wed­ding inspi­ra­tion: win­ter berries with images by Life­line Photography

I made a wed­ding inspi­ra­tion board for you with Hannah’s lovely images and all the lit­tle acces­sories and dec­o­ra­tions from the day. So if you’re look­ing to make lots of things for your wed­ding, and you’ve got a lit­tle red rid­ing hood cos­tume knock­ing around that you don’t really need… this is per­fect for you!

 With help from some won­der­ful wed­ding suppliers

Wedding planning or work?

I’m sure if you’ve got some­thing really impor­tant to fin­ish it can wait five min­utes. There’s an hour or two left before home time after all. You deserve a break, it’s Fri­day after­noon! We’re into week­end time already if you ask me :)

Course, if you like this lit­tle lot you can while away the time until 4 or 5 just blog-hopping and enjoy­ing lots of wed­ding inspi­ra­tion. I should apol­o­gise to brides and grooms who aren’t blog­gers by the way: I’ve been read­ing a lot about blog­ging this week so there’s a bit of advice in here too.

Wedding inspiration blog — winter berries

winter wedding blog by Lifeline Photography (18)I’ve been wait­ing so long for a cold snap. I pic­tured myself blog­ging all wrapped up and toasty, with glis­ten­ing ici­cles out­side and this win­ter berries wed­ding inspi­ra­tion shoot on my screen, next to a mug of steam­ing hot chocolate…

Well there’s no snow out­side (yet). I give up!!! But it’s chilly. It’s been frosty… and the sparkles on the pave­ment in the morn­ing say it’s time to blog this lovely wed­ding inspi­ra­tion shoot!

Happy Fri­day every­one! It’s been a bit of a manic week at Eng­lish Wed­ding tow­ers, all busy on the blog, out doing excit­ing cre­ative things and stay­ing in doing tax returns. Ick. If you’ve had a busy week too, then — don’t lis­ten to the boss — it’s offi­cially the week­end now. I’ve got you some lovely bits of wed­ding blog land to enjoy until home time. Feet up, pens down, notepads at the ready because there are some bril­liant ideas for you here…

Wedding planning or work?

For the first time this year, to brighten your Fri­day, here’s a bit of wed­ding blog love for you to enjoy!

This one’s been a long time com­ing, has it not? And I’m espe­cially sym­pa­thetic to every­one in an office out there this week: I feel your pain, hav­ing spent much of this week sur­rounded in piles of paper — I’ve been doing my accounts. Ick!

But this… now this is fun. For me it’s research. For you it’s half an hour or more, as you wish, read­ing and get­ting inspired and look­ing at gor­geous pics!

For wedding guests everywhere

Two ques­tions: who is a wed­ding day about? who is a wed­ding day for?

Instinct tells me (I’m writ­ing quickly and from the top of my head) the day is about a bride and groom. But it’s for their friends and fam­ily (of which they are a part).

I think some­times that’s lost. Some­times there’s too much “your day, your way” going on. Your guests should be a part of your wed­ding day: not just spec­ta­tors, rather very spe­cial peo­ple in your lives, and those you want to share in your hap­pi­ness and enjoy it with you.

Hang on a minute… where did the week go?! You know some­times the days just slip by and you feel like you’ve missed one?! Yep — that’s me, right now. But — well it’s nearly Christ­mas now. So I’ve def­i­nitely got that Fri­day feel­ing and it’s time to relax and for­get about work (yes I know it’s 2 o’clock) until Mon­day morning.

Time for some wed­ding treats from around the web…

Another Fri­day after­noon, another mini-escape from the pres­sures of the day job for any­one who’s twid­dling a pen, gaz­ing into space or watch­ing the clock in the cor­ner. (Do offices still have clocks in the cor­ner? It’s been so long… does every­one just use the clock in the cor­ner of their screen now?) Any­ways…

Wel­come to the land of wed­dings, blogs and pretty things.
