What has happened since my last post: Part 1

Burwash Secret Garden Wedding Marquee Open Day happened:









It was a lovely, relaxed day at Burwash, the sun shone and I met some lovely people, both prospective clients, old friends from Burwash and other exhibitors.

A big thank you to Paula who came and helped me on the day! Some of you reading this may remember Paula - she worked with me when I had the studio at King's Parade. She's always so generous and helpful and always waves away thanks - so THANKS PAULA! And thanks to Sarah and her mother who went over and above the call of duty, not only did Sarah lend me her wedding dress for my stand, but they visited us at our stand and bought us ice-creams just as we were flagging towards the end! Thanks too to Shirlene and Jo who also lent me their dresses to exhibit.

Also a big thanks to Andrew from Lightworks Photography who together with Rebecca, were on the stand next to me. Andrew took the pictures above while I was manically dressing the girls behind the scenes! Andrew and Rebecca are wedding photographers based in Waterbeach near Cambridge and they had some lovely wedding photography, in particular some little wedding 'books', about the size of a large postcard, which make fantastic momentoes of the day; perhaps useful for sending to people who couldn't make it to your wedding? Anyway, do go and have a look at their site if you're looking for a photographer.

On re-reading this it has turned out to be a post dedicated to thanking people, which is nice :)

Not drowning, but waving...

OK, I was recently reading one of my favourite blogs The Coffee Lady and she used a great excuse for not posting regularly and referred to her last post of a few weeks back as 'just then'. Her excuse was that time travels faster as you age, to which I thought, how true is that? And decided to borrow that same excuse for myself! So in my last post 'just then' what was I on about? Showing you Hannah's winter wedding I think. Well quite a lot has happened since then, wedding work and otherwise. The thing with blogging is choosing what to share and what not to share. I'm sure many people like to read only promotional stuff or choose to write only 'happy' stuff, and that must be wonderful if it works for you, but I find that style paralysing for many reasons, not least because when one is a creative type, (I prefer the word 'bohemian' at present, but more on that another time! ;)) one is influenced and motivated by everything...

Gaia Dress

I've added a new dress to my window display. Take a look over there to the right...see it? This dress has been in my collection in various forms for a few years now. It's SO popular! I think what clinches it is it's so easy to wear, the little cap sleeves are very cute and feminine and the lace is lightweight and not too intense . I call it a 'skipping through the fields with daisies' dress! It can be made in various ways - as is, strapless, sleeveless or change the neckline shape if you like. I think this adaptability is what has also kept it such a popular design. It's wonderfully understated and comfortable, and has no boning, although if you fancy a bit of support, it can be adapted to include a boning layer.

Easing back into regular work again. Just finishing two wedding dresses for separate weddings on the same day later on this month. I'll post some pictures as they become available and after the events. Among other wedding dresses, today I started work on two more gowns for later summer weddings this year, so have those to show you as they progress. I'm also very aware that there are many weddings from the latter end of last year that I've not got around to posting about yet. Everything in good time!
