MATTHEW MEAD STYLE: DIY PROJECTS FOR THE THRIFTY BRIDE....
Thursday, May 1, 2008 at 05:06PM yep... calling on all you do-it-yourself ladies out there planning for you big day.... Matthew Mead Style is one of those places you want to check out for some cost saving inspiration. His website has so many stylish ideas that are so simple to follow... ideas from his summer site can be seen below:
Pick out your favorite sweet/candy, print out name tags on coloured paper of choice, cut paper into flags and pierce 2 holes using a pick, thread flags into the skewer and then put them in your candy of choice.
use giant cookies of choice, wrap them up in cellophane, print out guests' names on coloured paper of choice, tie name tags around cellophane wrapped cookies. Matthew suggests grouping them in baskets at the reception entrance with the table numbers on each basket.
recycle old tins and cans from soups etc and turn them into vases. cover each tin with paper of choice and personalise with couples' names and dates.
find a container that matches your wedding decor and style, fill it with sweets of your choice, add a customised label using your printer.

SNIPPET & INK: WEDDING PLANNING IDEAS AND INSPIRATION
Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 08:40AM Quick bridal planning resource ....I came across Snippet & Ink a few weeks ago when doing some research and i fell in love with this site... it's like Style me pretty but with a very different and lovely twist... I love the way Kathryn goes into depth about each mood board; from the mood to the colour palette, ideas of the type of venues where you could make the ideas on the board shine, flowers etc..
I really love the budget friendly boards she had going on last week. There is a budget friendly board for every style; from casual dinner to champagne and dessert, garden brunch to cocktail and Hors D'oeuvre... it's almost like having a mini-wedding planner with insider tips. She not only gives you the mood boards and information of where to find the items, she also goes on to share with you how you can save and what to splurge on.... the only thing i regret is that most of you British brides may not be able to get your hands on the items mentioned as the retailers are based across the pond; never mind... where there is will, there is always a way right?
here are a few mood boards from her Snippet & ink:

PRE-WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT: BERMONDSEY, LONDON
Thursday, April 17, 2008 at 09:02AM I met up with Ed and Chris in Bermondsey on Sunday for their pre-wedding session. We all under-estimated the weather... it was lovely, bright and warm but once the session started it rained and it was cooooold... but, we had a great session. Bermondsey was fantastic... we used the back streets; it was edgy with loads of colour and texture - just the kind of stuff i like.
Like my last pre-wedding session, i decided to keep things very simple... no complicated poses just great location, use of colour, texture and pattern; I find that this method works best for me and i get my best work, I suppose this is what they mean by 'finding my voice' because i absolutely love all the images from this session and i'm beginning to define my style of photography....
anyway, here are some images from the session...

Friday, April 4, 2008 at 02:39PM Sunday saw me with Cookie and Tola for their pre-wedding session at south bank.....
The clocks moved forward on Sunday so there was bound to be some mix-up...which there was, and from which we moved swiftly on from :)
I really enjoyed this session... and laughed a lot ....we went past the London eye, towards the Hayward gallery and also used the skateboard rink where i got some of my favorite images..... all in all, it was a fun day.....
thanks guys...see you in August!!!
