Hi guys 🙂 How does this email find you? Have you stopped by the lovely 'Super-8' style wedding films feature of this morning yet? Have you cast your vote? Did you read my interview with bridal wear designer Claire Pettibone?
Time for some wedding goodness this afternoon. Billie and Darren tied the knot on 9th April this year at the picturesque location of Orsett Hall in Orsett, Essex. Billie was a huge fan of Love My Dress and used it find her Wedding Photographer Celine Chaplin, and headpiece designer, Jo Barnes Vintage. She also used loved to spend time reading through all the 1950's inspired features – and it paid off, what a beauty Billie looks on her wedding day. Radiant and bright and gorgeous in her full-circle skirt dress…
"My dress was created by an Italian Seamstress called Antoinetta. I was inspired by Grace Kelly and I love buying 1950s vintage dresses.
I loved the lace, the length and all the netting underneath. The detailing in the collar and bodice was exquisite…"

Sabella Floral Design produced the bright and cheery florals…

I had hot pink and orange ranunculus, pink & purple anenomies, red carnations, orange/yellow and pink geberaas, gloriosa lilies, pink waxflower, purple veronicas,yellow crysanthenmums, kermit crysanths and pink and red roses for my mum and dad…"

"I wore a hairband from Jo Barnes Vintage, who I discvoered via Love My Dress. It was the 'Gracie' design. I also wore a necklace – a gift from my Aunt and earrings from John Lewis.
