Rock n Roll Wedding!

Oh dear, I think I have rather alot of catching up to do! Its been completely manic (in a good way!) here for the past few months. I got married earlier in the year, and being a just a little bit of a control freak and not being able to account for a Claire Pettibone frock or top class wedding planner in the miniscule budget, arranged pretty much everything myself!

As the vintage theme seems to pervade everything I do, and my OH lives and breathes music it seemed totally natural to have a new vintage rock wedding, and where else to get married than Marylebone Old Town Hall! 

I designed the invitations in classic black and white, with a dash of shocking pink and arranged a printer, while making a 1950′s style dress from a vintage pattern – inspired by my late Mothers wedding dress, an embellished headpiece with a birdcage veil, the wedding rings and an 18ct white gold necklace and earring set to wear on the day. I had planned to do my bouquet and the corsages too, so three days before the wedding I ran down to new Covent Garden flower market at an ungodly hour of the morning to choose the white anemones for my bouquet and the shocking pink roses for the corsages. My talented sister made the cake in different flavoured sponges with white frosting, lovebirds & dash of glitter, and our friends took photos for us. We topped it off with a bit of a bash at a fantastic Victorian pub in Ladbroke Grove and some rather talented musically inclined friends of our played for us.  And with the exception of forgetting in the rush to get ready on the morning, to wear the necklace and earrings I’d so carefully made, it all went swimmingly to plan and a lovely time was had by all!
