wedding wednesday adam & his merry men

While my gorgeous girls & I got ready some dapper dudes were busy tarting themselves up too. You though we scrubbed up well?! Take a look at Adam & his boys! :D
Adam wore a Topman suit & his ushers & best man wore ones from Moss Bros. We were going to hire them but it turned out to be cheaper to buy them! Crazy! Our dad's luckily got suits out of this deal too so everyone was happy!
The first thing most people noticed about the guys was their shoes - take a look at these bad boys! We'd got them made online via the 'customize a Converse' page. Each usher had their name embroidered up the back (in case they forgot! :P) & Adam had our wedding date (so no excuse for forgetting our anniversary). We picked a lime green outer & bright pink inner to match our colour scheme & they looked great against their grey suits.
I realised that last week I forgot to mention our stunning flowers. They were all made by Sophie at 'Weeds.' We hadn't wanted our flowers to be too structured & were really close to making everything ourselves so they would look right but Sophie just got us & was really excited to be helping. We were so pleased on the day both with our buttonholes & my bouquets! Yay! Thanks Sophie!
Adam's buttonhole was from Black Market Betties on Etsy, when we saw it we couldn't resist & they even let us send our own pics to match our colours.
*how brill do Adam & Nick (his best man) look together?*
The usher's bow ties were from Topman & Adam was lucky enough to have his custom made by someone I always meet up with at Pitti in Florence, they did a great job & didn't mind us being picky about the dots & green colour, they even understood our Pantone refs! Woop!
I'll end this post with one of my fave shots of Adam from the day. He looks so happy (probably cos he was still an un-married man, he looks more haggard now! :P) I'm such a lucky gal to have nabbed him :)

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
