Our wedding is going to be featured in Country Living magazine next month!

The thing about blogs is you can share all kinds of news in real time, whenever you life.  This news, however, has been under wraps for the past 9 months, and Mr Rigg and I haven’t been able to share it with anyone until today.  One month from today, our wedding is going to be featured in the July 2012 issue of Country Living magazine! I’m not even sure where to begin in telling you how excited I am about the whole thing – where do I begin?!  I have been an avid Country Living reader since we bought our …

In support of seasonal British wedding flowers – my feature for Unique Bride Magazine

I love seasonal, British flowers.  I want to take my love for seasonal, British grown flowers and share it with you all.  This week sees the launch of a fabulous new wedding magazine called Unique Bride Magazine (if you haven’t already seen me shouting about it on Facebook and Twitter).  I was lucky enough to be invited to write an article for the launch issue and my copy arrived in today’s post. I chose for my article to reflect my love of seasonal, British grown wedding flowers and to showcase to brides-to-be the beautiful options that are out there if …

Sneak peek of our ‘on the farm’ photoshoot at Heaton House Farm

Yesterday I got to spend the day with a lovely group of wedding suppliers at a great wedding venue in Cheshire called Heaton House Farm.  I was invited to be part of the photoshoot by photographer Jonny Draper and I was delighted to go along, get involved and see how a photoshoot works. I will be featuring the photoshoot with Jonny’s fantastic photos in the coming weeks, but for now I thought you might all like to see a behind-the-scenes look at what we got up to.  All these pictures are taken by me on my phone, so nothing fancy, …

A spring birthday party to celebrate five years of The Natural Wedding Company

It is with great pleasure that I get to share with you the photographs from The Natural Wedding Company’s 5th birthday party that took place recently.  I’m not really sure where to start, so I’m just going to dive in and hope it all makes sense! March saw the website’s 5th anniversary of when I first launched it, so I knew a few celebrations were in order.  As well as lots of exclusive offers and competitions on the blog, most excitingly, a party was dreamt up. I wanted a party with a group of likeminded girls, some recently married, others …

Sneak peek of my lace and feather birdcage veil from An Era of Experience

I wasn’t planning on a lunchtime blog post, but I really wanted to share a quick picture of the birdcage veil I made last night at An Era of Experience.  With much help from the lovely Nicola of Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe, I created this navy blue and cream birdcage veil, with feathers and lace, and blue netting. If you fancy making something similar, Nicola is running an exclusive “Made By You” bridal workshop in May where you can create your own, handmade headpiece, garter or ring pillow.  There are still places available on the workshop if you haven’t …
