As 2011 comes to an end it has been a bumper year for weddings. We gasped with joy when we finally saw the much awaited Kate Middleton step out in her Sarah Burton wedding dress at Westminster Abbey to marry her prince. It was undoubtedly THE wedding of the year.

Asking THE question...
Holly Valance gor engaged on the 23rd December 2011 |
Christmas is such a special time of year, maybe it is the magic in the air, around 26% of couples who got engaged this year did so in the month of December. Guessing by the increase of enquires, most of the engagements in December are entered in to around Christmas and New years eve! Another peek time is during July and August when couples are enjoying a romantic holiday.

Christmas in Italy
I know we are only at the start of November but the streets are decked out in Christmas lights, shop windows are displaying parcels wrapped up in pretty paper and there is a buzz of excitement in the air.
It really is the most wonderful time of year!

Amalfi and her marvellous coast.
The Amalfi Coast, what can I say that has not been said already about this gem of an area? Maybe words can never express the beauty, so imagine my delight when I came across this you tube video.

London Taxi in Italy
I do have a bit of soft spot for old cars, ever since my father came home with a bright red MG midget my love for cute soft tops sports cars began. I never in a billion years thought I would end up the proud owner of a vintage London taxi!

Symbol of eternity
Paolo Marziali Arezzo, The wedding ring, the most instantly recognisable symbol of the joining of a man and a woman as husband and wife has been traced back to North Africa and the ancient Egyptians. But while the shape being of course a circle and the symbol of eternity, it was the Italians who over time changed the ring in to the wedding ring we know recognise today. |

Something uniquely Italian
If you are getting married in Italy, you might be thinking of a fun way to include something uniquely Italian in your wedding day. After all you are getting married in Italy!
There are many icons of Italy from the coliseum to gelato and right up there at the top of that list, the original Fiat 500. Slightly quirky, the vintage Fiat 500 is an unique Italian car, with a huge personality and lots of charm.
She never fails to bring a smile to wedding guests and passing locals!

Very fond memories!
As I prepare to launch our new web site, we have asked all the wonderful photographers to send over some of the photographs from weddings we have worked together on over the years. Today I received a batch of photos from Edoardo Agresti and was transported back to Megan's wedding, which was such a wonderful wedding, it has brought back very fond memories!

Romantic Tuscan wedding....
This evening I received a package from the talented David Bastianoni, with the raw photos of Jennifer and Ally's Wedding in Tuscany last month.
Jennifer looked beautiful and they both looked so very happy. I cannot wait to see the post production photos, but for now enjoy this great photo preview of Jennifer and Ally's civil wedding in Italy!

To wedge or not to wedge...
Kimberley Ivory Satin Peep Toe Wedge by Aruna Seth |
I was going to write a blog on the question are wedges glamourise enough for a bride? While we all look lovingly at the Gina sandal and the delicate Jimmy Choo's but do we look lovingly at the Wedge? When I found Aruna Seths lovely designs!

Rich lush Reds...
While I think every colour scheme works 12 months of the year there is something very lush and cosy about richer deep colours. Velvet red roses make me think of Christmas and deep reds and oranges of Autumn...

Something blue!
I know this is from Christian Dior's 2010 fall collection but as soon as I saw it I thought how it is a perfect dress for a wedding on the the Amalfi coast! It is such a beautiful gown and with its blue floral underskirt it is a wonderful take on 'something blue'.

Cherish your special day...
http://fairytaile.tumblr.com/page/14 A wedding ~ it’s two people committing before each other, before family and friends a life to each other... |
In Italy it is the norm when a bride drives down the road or takes a walk through the sleepy Italian streets, for the locals to come out and shout best wishes and congratulations to her. Yesterday Elena De Angellis brought out the village of Casal di Princice to cheer her on to her church wedding and to see her wedding dress...
