Hello love birds and fellow wedding pro's,
You may have noticed I've not been posting much recently, well that's because I've been mentally preparing myself (and the room I'm now sleeping in) for toe correcting surgery on SIX of my toes 🤢
The op was this morning and I'm not allowed to be on my feet for at least the first few weeks so sadly that meant I couldn't attend @theweddingmba this year or watch the amazing @beccapountney's 'Oh Snap!' session on Wednesday 😢
Obviously as a huge musical fan I couldn't resist the opportunity to change the words to the opening section of For Good from Wicked, excuse the pjs, messy room and PJ's - it's been a day...
With any luck I'll be able to join you all at wedding MBA next year, for now I'll be living it vicariously through your IG stories and posts while I lie in bed trying not to get bored 😂
As I'll be staying put for the foreseeable I assume there will be several posts, stories and lives coming your way over the next couple months ... Prepare to be SICK OF ME 🤣😉

Roadtrip to France throwback
🚗 Road trip to France, but make it neurospicy with lots of snacks and laughter ✨
Throwback to a magical drive through France in April, starting with arriving at and getting on 'Le Shuttle' and ending at the breathtaking Château Vary 😍
From sunshine and countryside views to pulling up at this stunning fairytale location, it was truly a journey to remember!
💭 Do you dream of a wedding in a French château?💍

Want to have a wedding that truly reflects you and your partner?
This luxury Gothic wedding styled shoot took place at the gorgeous @fanhams_hall and had an incredible team of suppliers who used their creativity and talents to create an absolute belter of a shoot.
This would be my reaction if I was the bride for this, and actually was the facial expression @jade0brien88 had for most of the day 🤣
