Let’s make Friday amazing with a beautiful editorial feature from lovely Mel at Your Story Events. I’ve been so excited to share this with you – it’s dreamy and beautiful, with French vibes and the most adorable couple!

With Valentine’s and Christmas just behind us, I feel it’s a nice opportunity to explain styled shoots and why we feature them. This isn’t a real wedding, it’s a creative project from a (super talented!) group of wedding suppliers who’ve taken time out to inspire you. I LOVE styled shoots because they show folks like you and me the very BEST ideas for wedding styling – and this is the loveliest example!

Ahh… welcome to the weekend, lovely. I hope you’re hanging in there and perhaps, even beginning to feel a little Christmassy? (I have a confession to make: I’ve started putting up fairy lights already. And I don’t think they’ll be coming down in January either!) So today we have a stunning inspirational feature to share with you. We’re talking dreamily gentle blues, elegance and show stopping styling touches from a fabulous team of Buckinghamshire wedding suppliers at Notley Abbey. The Butterfly Bridal dress is beautiful, the cake and stationery exquisite, and the floral styling simply out of this world. It’s all captured by lovely Suzy Elizabeth Photography – and your full supplier list is below.

Gorgeous newlyweds Fiona and Ashley’s spring wedding from Stratton Court Barn is just fabulous – they used rich purple tones to create a luxe, sophisticated wedding theme and chose a venue with oodles of cosy character which needed just a few creative touches to bring it to life. With a canopy of fairy lights and pretty floral styling, this is a lovely wedding I’ve been excited to share with you! Images are by our lovely team member Carol Elizabeth Photography, who is based in Oxfordshire and gets a glowing review from the happy couple!
