Saturday Catchup…

Hi People! Well better late than never eh? I was out 'partying' last night in London town, and jolly fun it was too. I went to meet and drink wine with the bloggers behind 'Any Other Wedding', but I also got a chance to chat with Rebecca Norris {see Rebecca's guest posts for Love My Dress here} Pete and Laura Lawson, Andri Benson, Elizabeth from Bridal Musings, Louise Mahoney from 'Oh My Honey', Eliza Claire, Kirsty from 'A Safe Mooring' {what a lovely lass!}, the gorgeous Lucy Stendall and Anna from Anna And The Ring.

It's jolly good fun to get out there and get to know others in the blogging and wedding community and I'd like to thank Aisling, Anna and Clare from Any Other Wedding for being such fun hosts and so kind about my new very dark brown hair do 😉 {which you can juuuuuuuust about see below}…

It as fab to meet one of my blog readers Sarah who won a beautiful Jo Barnes headpiece – thanks for your wonderful feedback on Love My Dress Sarah! 😉 I'd also like to thank Rebecca Norris for being my room buddy for the evening. Here she is gleefully admiring Mrs Lawson's beautiful Mulberry handbag {Rebecca has a mild Mulberry fettish}…

So today my blog feature comes much later than normal, forgive me, but here are some things I wanted to share with you this late Saturday afternoon…

I had a chat with a fellow blogger last night about the importance of directing blog readers to older posts on the blog that they may have missed.  Here are just a couple of my favourite posts of the past few weeks.

I still can't stop staring at the 'Be Beautiful Bridal Photoshoot'…

♥  I want to thank everyone who commented and all those who felt that because they weren't a working a 'working from home Mum' couldn't comment, but who emailed me anyway, following this post. This has been one of the most popular blog posts ever on Love My Dress and the response has really blown me away.  I have been wanting to dabble in more personal/discussion led posts for some time now, and viewed this particular poast as a bit of a litmus test. I'm thrilled that my readers want to see more of this kind of post on Love My Dress, it's so encouraging as I look to way's of developing the blog.

♥  I launched a promotion with Queens & Bowl this week – now anyone can enter this competition to win £200 to spend at Queens and Bowl, but the best thing about this promotion is that everyone who DOES enter, automatically qualifies for a 10% discount code {that will be isseud to all entrants once the competition closes}.  Click here for full details.

Look what you could spend your hard won cash on 😉 …

♥  I'm bringing the deadline for casting your votes in this wedding photography competition forward by 24 hours – I think judging by the number of votes already received, I'll need all of Sunday to tally them up!!

One of these lovely couples is in with a chance with winning their wedding photography thanks to your vote.  Read their stories here…
