The Week In Words

Since the New Year I have made a conscious effort to set more time aside for blogging and have being running on a post a day.  This is no mean feat when you have a full time job AND running a successful business but hey, i love it!  So I have decided to do an end of the week post to highlight what happened on Lancashire Bride during the week.  So here we go...

~ I started the week on a high by featuring the fabulous Ice Maiden photoshoot from Perfect Choice Planning and many other local suppliers and it went down a storm.  Here is one of my favourite pictures.

~ Tuesday brought inspiration boards for the Modern Bride following on from our announcement that we would be exhibiting at The Wedding Carnival on March 24th. 

~ The line up for Slaidburn Wedding Fayre was announced.  This wedding fayre is one I have planned myself on behalf of Slaidburn Village Hall so fingers crossed (eek!) we see a good turn out.  (Remember Brides, it is free parking, free entry, complimentary canapes and bubbly AND the chance to win a Mini AND your wedding chair covers!).

~ By popular demand Blush Rose were also back on the blog, this time with a guide to spring wedding flowers.  If you have a wedding flower question or dilemma, please leave your question as a comment on this post and Blush Rose will back soon with a Q&A session.

~ This week Simply Bows and Chair Covers, also found out that they had been nominated for a The Bridal Magazine Supplier Awards.  To vote for us please click HERE!  

~ Last but not least, I featured this autumnal engagment shoot sent in to us by lancashire photographers Sweetness and Light Photography.

And there folks, is your week in words! See you tomorrow x

A Taste of Lancashire: Sweetness & Light Photography

"Sweetness & Light create Beautiful, Eclectic, Soulful photography. We are based in the North West, and work through out the UK.  Our aim is to provide unique photography to each of our clients, to capture their most cherished moments to perfection.  Good wedding photography should be an investment; we treat each client as an individual tailoring their experience around their needs.

"I am an award winning photographer with a 1:1 degree specialising in Fashion Photography and Creative Styling; all skills which help create beautiful, eye-catching images.  Sweetness & Light prides itself on its relaxed, easy-going approach to shooting photography.

A Pastel Inspired Moodboard

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month!  I hope you are all keeping to your new years resolutions one month in.  To celebrate dull January being over, I bring you this bright and breezy pastel themed wedding mood board.  The inspiration for the boards below can be blamed on this photo.  Just think if we all lived in houses like this I think the world would be a much happier place to live...

So to make this wedding related think lemoncillo cupcakes, bridesmaids in lilac and blooms in shades of baby pink and light green.
