So if you've been inspired by some of our gorgeous featured real brides and the headpieces they favour then make sure you contact Elisabet.

A kitchen tea

It is wonderful to feel Spring in the air and amazing to think that is that time of the year again. Excatly a year ago one of the Inspired Brides celebrated her Kitchen Tea and here are a few snaps from the day.

We love the tradition of a kitchen tea. It is the perfect pre-celebration to get everyone in the mood for the big day! Send us pics form your kitchen tea - we would love to see your ideas.

Real Wedding #23: Backyard Chic

We have a soft spot for home weddings (even if it's a borrowed one!) and adore this wedding recently featured on Wiley Valentine. It's just perfectly gorgeous. These are a few of our favourite things ... the bride's tea-length dress and the bridesmaids' short ones, vintage pews set up for the ceremony, the bridesdog (or is that flowerdog?), the simple yet stunning table settings, the Scrabble table names, the vintage understated sweets table, the fresh yummy food. Click here and here for more.

We heart wedding videos

Some say cheesy, some say unnecessary ... but we adore our wedding videos, which were shot and edited by the gorgeous and creative Victoria Landey. They capture so many amazing moments, the spirit of the day and, if you're anything like us, you'll watch them with delight forever!

So we had to share this wedding video (via Cup of Jo) - it must be one of the best we have ever seen - from the wedding of Max (we recently featured his honeymoon photos) and Margaux. Watch it you will LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Click here to watch it!

P.S. We also love the groom's shoes and socks, the bride's dress and hair, the cool guests at the backyard reception party, the cake topper, the wishing ribbon line and, of course, the dancing!

Real wedding 21: Winter glam

There is something about Autumn leaves, a handmade birdcage and a gorgeous shrug that add ounces of glamour to a wedding. This bride (of pretty.pretty.paper) had very large ambitions for DIY wedding projects but in the end focused on the cake (the bride and groom made it together!) and the beautiful letter pressed menus (see the making here and the end result here). The result, as you can see was a simple, elegant affair.
