Wedding Trends For 2023

RETRO WEDDING CAKES Bring me all of the colour on wedding cakes please!! Don’t feel bad if you’re more traditional type. Everyone has their own taste and it’s your wedding so do it your way. But I do miss a bit of colour on a cake. I’ll always be a lover of neutrals. I actually […]

Twilight Shoot at Manor of Groves

A Twilight wedding is something I’ve been dying to do for years! They’re slowing getting more and more popular and it’s not hard to see why! I know with Twilight weddings, couples are a bit more restricted as because it’s a nighttime thing, you only really get to spend the evening celebrating. But couples sometimes […]

Styled Shoot

Styled Shoot at The Hertfordshire Golf and Country Club

Second styled shoot of the year and it was beautiful weather yet again! This time the shoot was up at The Hertfordshire Golf and Country Club. As this shoot was close to home for one of our vendors, Mel from Enchanted Bridal Boutique had been an events manager here for over 20 years (sorry to make you feel old Mel!), we had to absolutely kill it with this shoot!
