Happy Bank Holiday Monday!

Okay… it’s not Sunday anymore but as it’s a Bank Holiday today… it feels like so:)I was working yesterday and so I missed my regular post. Oops.. I really do need to start scheduling my Sunday posts!

Yesterday’s wedding was at the magnificent Sandon Hall for a very lovely couple who celebrated their day with family from all over the world. They were all so warm and welcoming and  it was such a pleasure to work for them. The weather was kind to the bride and groom and having been obsessed with checking the weather, I have to say, my iPhone forecast was… wrong! We were supposed to have sunshine until 3pm, followed by rain and I’m sure you can guess it… it was beautiful ALL DAY – Yes, that’s a big smiley face from me.

Sunny Days

… last week I managed to capture this photo… just to prove we do get sunshine and warm temperatures here in the UK even if it is a little too rare! My daily doggie walk was bliss that day.

Lunch At The Inn + Rainbow Drops For A Wedding?

I was in Stafford for the church rehearsal and stopped by at The Dog & Doublet Inn for a bite to eat {great food I must add} and sunk myself into a big comfy armchair next to the window. There’s something so cute about looking through the little panes of glass! Do call by for food and pretty views if you’re ever in Sandon… I will certainly be going back in the near future.

The week has been about final preps for yesterday’s wedding and for me, most of it was spent on final-final confirmations… and my office weeks normally mean having lots of snacks around… Rainbow Drops being one of them! … What a colourful and pretty colour palette for a wedding it is! {yes, snacks can gives me inspiration too!}

Girlfriends + My Girlie

Here’s me with one of my girlfriends – P is my cousin and a very close friend. We’ve grown up together, we’ve travelled together, partied, laughed and cried together… oh, and have had sushi competitions… but after all these years, she did eventually move to Hong Kong to be with the love of her life.  She came back to England late last year for some family time but on Saturday it was time for to pack her suitcase and jump on board for her 12 hours flight  back to her 2nd home. I always miss this girlfriend but if love has to take you elsewhere, there is no denying it’s got to be done – we have mobiles, Facebook, WhatsApp and Skype if we need! See you again very soon sweet lady.

And yes… just another of my girlie. Just a random lazy shot of her which made me smile this week!

Enjoy the rest of your Bank Holiday today if you’re in the UK… and will be catching up again very soon… Carms Xx

Sure, I would love to share my wedding photos with you!

I saw you had some lovely rainbow rice puffs, can I ask where you got yours from? The ones I’ve ever seen are bright rainbow colours but yours looked like pretty candy colours.

Thinking of using this for my dessert bar, thanks for the inspiration :)

Hi Lucy, they were Rainbow Drops which I can buy in some of my local shops. I’m sure they are brighter in colour but my Instagram photos may have changed their colour slightly!
