But this blog is short and sweet, and I’ve made it super easy for you to click through a bunch of weddings at The Address Montgomerie without the hassle of browsing through 1000 blogs on My Lovely Wedding. So here… Keep Reading
Four years ago today Nathan and I got married. I was documenting my journey as a bride-to-be and MLW was my blog, it was a place where I documented my thoughts, my crafting ideas and vendors I met. Today, four years on it’s so much more than that. My Lovely Wedding is a styling company and a blog. It’s a place where I can still rave and rant, but it’s more grown up. It’s different. I guess what I’m trying… Keep Reading
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am, the Father of the Bride, and this is my Father of the Bride’s speech. It doesn’t happen very often that I get to talk, and the rest of my family have to be quiet and listen to what I have to say, so I am going to enjoy it. I hope you do too. As a Father, we often get things wrong. We don’t see things for what they really are. When our eyes are… Keep Reading
Dancing music… If you’re in the final months of planning your wedding then you will be coming up to the bit about music. Remember when you’re planning your wedding music you need to think about everyone, and not just what yourself. This is probably why I struggled as I’m not a fan of the classic ‘I will survive’ or anything by Abba, Queen or any of those other classic cheesy bands you hear at weddings. I can’t stand Abba, like… Keep Reading
Back in December, I posted Part 1 of my DIY seating plan. At the time I couldn’t reveal the finished product as I wanted to surprise my guests, so here it is now… My very own DIY seating plan using photos, a blackboard, some string and handmade labels. The whole thing was handmade by Nathan and myself, well more me than Nathan. I can give him credit for chopping wood and making the blackboard. He did a very good job… Keep Reading
Heel Stoppers & Pashminas! When I was planning my wedding I had so much to think about that sometimes I just felt mind boggled, almost like an overwhelming feeling of ‘there is way too much to do ‘. But I realised after my wedding that all of my extra little details really made a huge impact. For example buying pashminas for the girls. Dubai in January can be confusing on the weather front, I remember on 3 different occasions going down… Keep Reading
Good morning my Lovelies, I thought I’d start the week off with something pretty, and today that’s my wedding flowers. When I posted my wedding pictures 2 weeks ago I purposely didn’t give you all the details because I wanted to take each part of my wedding and break it down for you. So, today it’s all about the flowers. The Centrepieces… I’d say, and probably most florists will agree that your dining table arrangements are one of the most… Keep Reading
Hello my lovelies, Everyone having a nice week so far? For all my British readers… happy pancake day!! He he!I thought break up the afternoon with a bit of DIY, and take you back a few weeks to the day I packed 70 favor bags. I did have some help from my friend Nikki, and it’s a good job I did because pouring maple syrup into mini jars is a little bit messy. I should actually thank my Mum, it… Keep Reading
Gourmelicious really is delicious. Sara and Soha designed my wedding cake after I asked them to make me something simple and elegant. I already knew that the cake filling was going to be amazing because I tried there cupcakes a while ago and they were insane.. moist, soft and totally scrumptious! The 4 tiers were designed by the girls after I sent them a photo of the lace detail on my vintage dress. Each tier was a different flavor, the… Keep Reading
