I’m back and we’re married!

On 21st May 2011, I married Mr Rigg at my family home in Gloucestershire.  We had an incredible week leading up the ‘big day’, an indescribably wicked wedding day, and a fab honeymoon. Today we are back to reality and still reliving the past two weeks.  I have SO much to share with you all and can’t wait – not sure how I’m going to organise it, but really, really excited to tell you all about it. Above it a picture taken on my wedding day of my little sister, my little brother (can you believe he’s only 15!) and …

With two days to go…I haven’t got time to blog!

It’s 10.30pm and we’ve just got back from a full day at my parents.  Most exciting news of the day is that my uncle made a surprise appearance…from Australia!!!  Can’t believe it, thought he wasn’t coming, and there he is at my house with my granny to help us get ready.  Lovely. Today: My granny and mom have cleaned, sewed, and washed up many, many pieces of crockery. My dad and uncle moved furniture, moved rubble, and painted. My little sister has been helping amidst revising for a maths exam (tomorrow) and English exam (on Monday) – she helped me put …

With three days to go…we are busy busy busy!

A totally nondescript blog subject line, but a bit pooped this evening.  All of us have been mega busy today:  Mr Rigg was up early to collect cider, then got to work ironing bunting, shifting gravel, painting guttering, to name but a few jobs.  My little sister came over to the cottage to help me print menus, decorate the flowergirl baskets, and a number of other making things.  My dad has been painting the living room and finishing off the downstairs bathroom. The tents went up today (very exciting but can’t share photos yet!) and we ran through the plan for Saturday with …

A Mark Tattersall wedding of pink blossom and vintage details

Once again, I’ve been saved by one of the many incredible people I’ve met through planning my wedding – near on a meltdown last night (fretting about the huge task in hand to get ready for Saturday and yet insanely tired) I received some lovely messages from Mark Tattersall via Twitter. Then I discovered these gorgeous photos newly posted on his blog of a bride and groom beneath a gorgeous tree laden with pink blossom.  And the bride also sourced vintage glassware for her reception flowers – be inspired and make sure you check out Mark’s blog for all the photos. Images: Mark …
