Simply romantic

This is such a lovely idea for a proposal. There is something so romantic abut the simple love note. Let this inspire you to bring in that touch of romance that love notes hold in planning your invite or save-the-date and other stationery you use on the day such as menus. Or, of course, may it inspire you to write a little love letter to your fiance!

Sweet and sunny

This engagement shoot by Sloan Photographers makes me smile. The couple is so natural it's as if they didn't even know the photographer was there. I love the vintage feel of the photographs and even the quirky vintage clothes - I can just imagine their wedding will be a delightful celebration!

Ring-a-ling-ling

All engagement rings, like all engagement stories, are beautiful and romantic. I love to think of the man going to chose a ring to ask a woman to marry him. While we are all for tradition, these engagement and wedding rings featured on Refinery29 gives some alternative ideas on ways to sparkle up that finger!

Fun Friday

No give away or competition or free stuff today but check at our recent posts here, here and here. Instead today we thought we would show you this fun engagement shoot taken at a laundromat! I love the idea of an engagement shoot as it's wonderful to have some great pics of you and your hubby-to-be when you are not all dressed up. Chose a favourite spot or think up some fun location where you two can feel comfortable and have a good time. Most photographers will gladly do engagement shoots to so find out the details from them.

Let's start at the very beginning

Before the wedding, comes the engagement - an exciting whirlwind where everyone has their own romantic, touching or funny story of the moment they said 'yes!'. We love the increasing popularity of the engagement shoot - fun, creative, romantic and unique. You're not constrained by a schedule, tradition, particular outfits or having to include Great-Aunt Mildred in the photo. Let your imaginations run wild, have some fun and you'll have photos to cherish forever (and we'd love to see them so drop us a mail).

I love this - as if someone just happened to capture a spontaneous romantic kiss on Brooklyn bridge.
