Saturday Reflections And A Style Me Vintage Weddings Book Signing In London, Tomorrow!

Well well well. What an incredible week so far.  Just incredible. Weeks like this don't happen very often, so please forgive us for a slightly sporadic blog post schedule this past 5 days.  It has been a whirlwind dream involving many taxi journeys to and fro, trains (and missed trains), lots of last minute phone calls, pre-event panic nerves and anxiety, happy hugs and tears, no where near enough sleep, champagne and celebration, culminating in 260 of the best of the UK wedding industry joining me, my family and friends on Wednesday evening at Corbet Place in Shoreditch to celebrate the launch of my book, Style Me Vintage: Weddings.  It was one of the most beautiful, joyous evenings I have ever experienced. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I will be blogging about it all very soon, showing you what the truly talented and amazing team behind the event are capable off, for now, you can catch up with what was for me, one of the most exciting times and proudest moments of my life here;-

Heart  Elle Magazine were in attendance and blogged about it here – thank you so much Elle!

Heart  The fabulously technically savvy Celia of 'Bride Electric' was in attendance and shared her experience on Storify. You can visit Celia's website Bride Electric here.

Heart Instagram was and still is awash with images from the evening – look up the #smvwed hashtag

Heart I think #smvwed must have been trending on Twitter at one point! 

Heart Those gorgeous girls over at Belle & Bunty blogged about the launch – thank you so much Hannah and Alice!

Heart Here is a little sneaky preview of the evening, courtesy of photographer Ashton Jean-Pierre, official photographer on the night, as well as an image of my and my husband Philip below.  You can find out about my dress and all the other details in the official blog post coming soon, I promise.

You can buy Style Me Vintage: Weddings on Amazon, Waterstones and in all good book shops.

Goodness, I really can't stop thinking and smiling about it. It was nothing short of incredible. Like a dream!  I'm trying so hard not to share to much, I really must keep it for the official blog post! And besides, I have about 3 trillion thank you cards to be getting on with writing.

Which leaves me to say that whilst I might be back in my beloved hometown of Whitby right now, I'm hopping on a train later this afternoon back to the big smoke so that I can join some of my favourite colleagues at the eagerly awaited Zoe Lem Vintage Wedding Fair tomorrow.
