Real Glamorous Wedding: Simone & Paul

The bride in this wedding is seriously beautiful. Be warned! You won't want to look too hard at these pictures if you're having a bad hair day. But save them for later, because they're packed full of gorgeous red-themed wedding details, that you'll be wanting to copy for your own big day bash. Paul and Simone celebrated their big day in Franschhoek in South Africa, on the most glamorous farm I've ever seen. They had an 'Alice in Wonderland' inspired wedding, with beautiful romantic touches, from red roses to endless strings of fairy lights, plus a tea-cup wedding cake topped with cute in-a-rush rabbits. Other dreamy details include the paper parasols, Simone's three-band pearl bracelet, her sweet plaited up-do and the mini-cloches covering individual rose blooms on the reception tables. Huge thanks to the team at We Love Pictures Too for their fabulous photographs - we love!

Real Barndance Vintage Wedding: Kelly & Neil

One of my best girlfriends got married last weekend, in a fabulous barn wedding with tonnes of fabulous details, which I can't wait to share with you. Unfortunately we've got to wait, because she's headed off on her honeymoon in Bali! In the meantime, whet your wedding appetite with Kelly and Neil's incredible autumn wedding at The Priory Barn in Little Wymondley. Kelly DIY'd lots of her wedding details, in particular the vintage button and fabric table numbers, the sweetie bags and the lining in the vintage suitcase. I'm also loving the amazing wedding flowers, including lots of ivy for fidelity. Check out the giant wreath - it's such a beautiful statement piece and a truly gorgeous wedding idea. Stunning pictures published with thanks to the lovely Binky from Binky Nixon Photography.

Jack's Back

We’ve always been great fans of Jack London’s hip collections, including his modern and edgy suits. Described as evoking “an unrestrained street cool and strength” (an ideal goal for a nervous groom!), Jack London’s suits range from traditional black to a fresh blueberry purple and everything in-between. Inspired and influenced by the 1950’s seashore of England, the latest collection will leave the gents feeling just a little rock star. Opening the gates for those not able to visit their boutiques, JL is launching an online store in August this year. With a click of your mouse a purchase can be made and delivered straight to your door. Voila! Visit www.jacklondon.com.au for launch dates and collection details.

DIY Wedding Shoe Glamorisers

Wedding shoes can be a minefield. Traditionally brides wear white, but when will you ever wear a pair of white stilettos again? There's just too many connotations! Instead brides are opting for brights and metallics, often with red sole, which hikes the cost up a good £200 {thank you Mr Louboutin}. If you're not looking to break the bank with your wedding shoe budget {no judgement!}, then try a quick DIY shoe glamoriser with these fabulous shoe clips. They'll fasten on in a jiffy, and turn your simple slides into Carrie-standard beauties. Buy several pairs and coordinate your bridesmaids for a fraction of what you'd shell out for new shoes. Hot foot it over to Chloe and Maddie for all their styles.

Very Vintage

It may well and truly be winter but surely there's no harm in looking forward to spring? Afterall, a palette like this would be such a welcome sight at a wedding on a warm, sunny afternoon. Found via the blog Snippet & Ink, this mood board is the epitome of classic style with soft hues, sweet details and a nod to vintage. I simply adore the lace and crotchet gloves!

Real White Welsh Wedding: Danielle & Richard

There's something seriously romantic about old ruined buildings, and they're the perfect back-drop to this glamorous white wedding. Danielle and Richard celebrated their big day at Slebech Park in rural Wales, with the fabulous Angharad Gwenter as their photographer. I'm head-over-heels for Danielle's understated elegance - her gorgeous cathedral-length veil and lace strapless gown are topping my wedding dress favourites right now. Lace-overlay is SO in right now thanks to the lovely Kate Middleton. Other stealworthy wedding details include the personalised bottle labels {easy to DIY} and berries in Danielle's wedding bouquet, plus the bridemaids' little black dresses {always a winner}. I'm in wedding heaven!
