Mini me

I have long adored the work of Kathy Scott. Kathy hand makes the most beautiful cake toppers that you have ever seen! Forget plastic figures or cutesy love birds, these are sophisticated designer toppers for couples who don't do 'off the peg'!Kathy uses pictures of the bride & groom and their outfits to create miniature works of art in raw silk. Kathy incredibly reproduces every detail including dress design, hairstyle, veil and tiara resulting in an amazing & unique (signed and numbered) work of art that will not only make your guests gasp in wonderment but can also be kept as a permanent 3-dimensional reminder of your special day.

1920s Vintage Teaparty Wedding

Our friend and hugely talented photographer Rosie Parsons recently posted images from a gorgeous 1920s wedding she shot in Wales. The images ooze vintage sophistication so we couldn't resist sharing some with you...

I love how all the guests got into the spirit of the day by dressing up in dapper & flapper style!
