Good Morning all,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend? Filled with family time, Wedding goodnyness, Chrsitmas excitiment and preperations and X factor goss ;) Unlike in my house hold atm, we are all full of a bad cold, which sucks so no fun and games here, heehee!!

So to start with, from my list of awesome suppliers who will be featuring on the blog over the next few weeks, I have Karen Massey on the blog today, featuring a very charming romatic chic wedding. Karen is a local photographer from Warwick. A passionate, professional and friendly photographer, capturing your most treasured moments for ever.

I adore this utterly devine love story. It has all the fairytale details and delicate personal touches, which help to create a very romanitic charming wedding. And I am very pleased I have been able to share it with you..

This wedding is simple, with a touch of vintage, embellishments and playful decor like scattered sweets that add a dash of delicious colour. 
This bride is a true natural beauty. Her wedding gown is so elegant, little cap sleeves delicately embellished and especially with the embrioded train, which flows behind her. 
Please enjoy. Over to Karen...

A true love story
Mr and Mrs Ricardo
When I had an email from Chris asking me to do his wedding, I knew there was going to be a true LOVE story as the mail was from the United States. So when I got to meet both Chris & Kerry to find out the whole story I was right. They met while Kerry was over in the States but living in Warwick and were destined to be together.
I photographed their wedding in July at the beautiful historic Lord Leycester Hospital, Warwick, after having their marriage vows at St Mary’s. Perfect day in every sense.  I would just like to say Thank You to both families for making me so welcome.
After returning from their Honeymoon in France, Kerry has now moved over to the States to start a new life as Mr & Mrs Ricardo and I would like to wish them all the luck in the world.
BTW the sweets in the cups and saucers were gorgeous!






















A huge Thank you to Karen for sharing this gorgeous wedding. It has been a joy to share.
To all those wedding related businesses out there, if you would like to appear on my blog then please get in touch, its completely free and we all love reading and viewing your stories and services.
And to any brides, if you would like to share your stories of your special days and wedding day experience, suppliers you used and where you got your inspiration from, we always love reading your stories, so get in touch.

Have a lovely week, one closer to Santa ;)
Best Wishes

Vintage Chic teal and dusky pink Window Display for the White Rose Bridal Boutique in Chipping Campden. Inspired by November flowers and this gorgeous dress BARDOT by Stephanie Allin.
You can find a beautiful selection of Stephanie Allin dresses on display at this stylish boutique, where you recieve a high quality of service from Danielle, dedicated and passionate about the wedding industry by being sensative to each brides needs for that one special dress, creating a relaxed and unique atmosphere and experience.

This divine little white number can be interchangable with a range of different belts, so you can add some twinkle and bling or keep things vintage and soft with the teal belt and dusky pink flower. You can also change things up by adding / taking off the adorable little jacket and trying differnt shoes. As a shorter dress, this gives you the opportunity to show off those fabulous wedding wonders..

Take a look at these links for other Stephanie Allin dresses, which I adore. http://www.stephanieallin.net/

So here are a few pics of the Ladyamy November window display. I shall be featuring again in June with a delightful summer interpretation.





A simple yet effective collection of vintage green glass bottles, all holding some typial seasonal flowers, kindly provided by Sue from The Bay Tree florist in Chipping Campden. A few decorative glass bowls filled with traditional sweets, love hearts and strawberry bon bons, provided by Debbie at Memory Lane Sweets in Chipping Campden. I have included some beautiful bespoke hand stamped cutlery lent to me for the display by The Cultery Commision. I was also incredibly grateful for the delicious cup cakes make especially by Micheala of Cake Sweet Cakes, of course the styling, design and concept by myself Ladyamy. I chose to bring together all the local suppliers within Chipping Campden. I have maintained a feminine english concept, being sensitive to this delicate wedding gown design.








Ladyamy weddings 2011, this has been a wonderful year for me and Ladyamy Bespoke Wedding Design and a true learning curve. I have been uber busy this summer with a variety of stunning weddings. I have met many gorgeous brides to be and taken part in some very exciting events and fayres. I'm still awaiting many images but here are a few of my favourite images from some of the weddings I have been involved in, from Bridal Hair to Planning. Photographers include Emma Case / John Day /  Jaque Lynne. I have also been designing concepts and inspiration boards over the last few months as well as organising and co-ordinating events for 2012 (unfortunately I am reluctant to share some of these as I find Ladyamy ideas are being stolen by other professionals) Please enjoy these few pics..
