Four questions with Ana at Nice Ribbon Atelier…
A few weeks back I emailed my lovely vendors with a few basic questions, and the responses have been awesome. I LOVE how honest everyone is, and how the advice for newly engaged brides is so useful. So today it’s all about my lovely friend Ana from Nice Ribbon Ateiler. (She is a master baker and creative queen and we love her.) What’s been the highlight of the year so far? This has been a pretty good year, and I love every project I did, I always have the opportunity to work with some incredible clients, and also learn so much from the vendors I work with, in some of the events. If I had to choose a favorite project of this year, I don't think I could, I think every single thing I ... read more

Sarah had a ‘Lovely Wedding’ and she tells us why…
I recently got an email from Sarah, a bride I worked with back in December 2015. I had asked her for a testimonial for my new website and instead of got this. It’s her story, the story of her lovely wedding. Thank you sweetie. You made my week. Once we decided to do our wedding in Dubai, the next step was to look for a planner and I think I went into shock at the prices I was receiving for what I thought was a simple and elegant wedding. Dubai is insane! Feeling distraught and quite hopeless, my husband and I were searching online for other potentials and we stumbled upon My Lovely Wedding. Something instantly felt right, and it was “love at first click” we had found “the one” ... read more

Baby Adeline – I have a toddler and it’s amazing!
Hey Folks, It's been a while since I blogged about my baby girl, so today I'm back with a few photos. I have about 19,000 images of on my phone and I've just been told that my Icloud account is full. Damn it. LOL. Being a Mum is the most amazing thing ever, it's also the most challenging, time-consuming and rewarding job in the world. I am loving every minute but it's hard, and there have been times when I've felt like I was failing and totally just winging it. We have finally got her sleep situation sorted, and I have my evenings back which is a big deal for me and for Nathan. I won't bore you with the details now but I do plan on blogging about it soon. I almost don't want to jinx it ... read more
