Downton Abbey brides over the years.

After a wonderful Christmas day I snuggled up on my sofa today to catch up on yesterdays Christmas special of Downton Abbey and was not disappointed. 

Feeling nostalgic as we saw the happy ending of Downton Abbeys families upstairs and down and saw the last of the Earl of Grantham's daughters get married and not ready to say good bye just yet, let's take a look at the Downton Abbey brides over the years... 

Congratulations Dylan and Gabe!

Yesterday we were honoured to have witnessed the beautiful wedding of Dylan and Gabe in Sorrento. Surrounded by the most important people in their lives, their wedding was one full of love and laughter! 

I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the official photos, for now this is a little teaser from the talented Eigirdas Scinkas White Fashion Photographer  I am buzzing with excitement to see the rest of the photos!  

To mop up happy tears!

Vintage is still a big theme in 2013 and its shaping up to still be going strong in 2014! One of the reasons I love vintage, is all the little details that makes it  unique. The personal touches is what makes a wedding memorable. So when I came across the Wedding Chicks custom printed tea towels and hankies it started me thinking about printing on vintage hankies and check out what I found!

Emma and James part 4 - Just married lets party!

One of the things friends will tell you is take some time out in the day for yourselves, if you have a good photographer they will suggest taking you off for a short photo session alone. If you have a really good photographer you will have moments when you wont notice them and you can have a private moment... That's exactly what Emma and James had, beautifully captured by Cinzia Bruschini, before they rejoined their family and friends for the feast of Tuscan delicacies, then danced the night away to one of the best bands supplied by Alma Project. Enjoy!

Vintage Brides

The past couple of weeks we have been preparing for one of life's eventualities, the passing of my 92 year old grandmother. Whilst the loss of a mother and grandmother is not without grief, the  joy of looking back on her life and through all her photos has been fascinating! Trying to work out who all the beautiful young people are in the photo's taken in her youth, but what I found much more exciting is all the wedding photographs! There’s just something about vintage wedding pictures that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. (Unfortunately I could not take any of the photos with me to scan them but I may try when I am back for the funeral next week!) 

1940's vintage inspiration!

Tuesdays moving vow renewal in Venice,  after 70 years of married life, started me thinking what the bride and grooms first wedding would have been like in the 1940's...

Photo of the day!

If you don't have access to your mother or grandmothers dinner service and love this look, start collecting and enjoy every find! 

Emma + James, wedding preview

I'm so excited after seeing this preview of photos from Emma and James's wedding at Villa Belpoggio in Tuscany, beautifully captured by the talented Miss Cinzia Bruschini 

A vintage inspired wedding in Veneto! - part 1 getting ready

A simply stunning bride, a beautiful day, lots of laughter and love... All caught by the talented photographer Eigirdas Scin from White Fashion Photographer! 

Egle wanted to capture the 1940's hollywood glamour, think Katharine Hepburn, Veronica Lake and Grace Kelly, for her wedding day. 

I often look at these photos and think how Egle looks like a model,but she is the real

 deal and her wedding day was just breathtakingly beautiful!

Kate and Ben's wedding!

 I am delighted to share with you the wedding of Katie and  Ben, Katie worked for The Italian Wedding Planner a few years ago and Stacey who has been working for us this summer went home to be the onsite coordinator on Katie's very special day! 

Vintage inspired wedding shoot...

I was just web-dreaming and stumbled across one of my favourite designers Charlotte Balbier photo shoot captured on a video by Silk Wedding Videos that is so much fun and full of energy I just have to share it with you all.

Vintage wedding in Siena

Lorna and Steve chose the fabulous setting of Siena for their wedding day. This wedding was filled with countless gorgeous details, from the very personal ceremony in the historic town hall of Siena, to the vintage  glass vases filled with beautiful floral arrangements in the marquee, the whole day was magical. It was a truly fabulous wedding that will be remembered for years to come.

Jesse and Erik Wedding in Orvieto

 We love working with  Edorado Agresti and his team (captured above by Kelly Hayes , with our lovely hairdresser from London and the bride to be Jesse from the USA.) His photos are stunning and so it is with pleasure I am posting Edoardos interview and photos from ISPWP on Jesse and Erik's wedding in Orvieto.
