We don’t often focus on wedding dresses in our posts because I usually don’t have the frock deets to pass on to you.

But thanks to Lou the bride’s own post this morning, I’ve got ‘em for this. Yay!

So here we go. It’s the Minnie design by Heidi Hudson available exclusively through wed2b

‘embroidered florals fully embellished with iridescent sequins and glass beads, supportive straps & a sweetheart neckline’

The perfect dress for adding sparkle & glamour to this riverside wedding day

Over on the blog a lil round up of some of more unusual elopement wedding cakes of 2023.

Our elopement package included your very own wedding cake even if it’s just the two of you

You get to choose the flavour, the filling & the decoration. What do you fancy?

Annaliese & Matt went for this beauty, a 2 tier carrot cake with touches of blue & gold plus hand made macarons by our very own Harrie of Boo to a Goose who’s been doing our elopement cakes since we started our lil elopement weddings in 2016. Oh yeah and it came with those spectacular gold edged rice paper sails - just because.
