Zoe & Chris' 50's Style Wedding

Zoe and Chris really injected some fun into their 50's style wedding with their candy colour scheme! Zoe's dreamy dress was made by Dana at Once Upon a Time (I have fallen in love the beautiful butterfly detail on the back), and the bridesmaids were each in a different coloured Honeypie Boutique dress.

The couple completed their retro theme with a quirky wedding cake and a fab white convertible Beetle!



Thanks to Hedgehog Photographic who did a fantastic job capturing Zoe and Chris' special day on camera!

Michelle & Craig's 50s Style Wedding

When Michelle and Craig tied the knot earlier this year they went all out 50s from the dress to the car, table decorations and even the food!

Michelle wore a fabulous Dolly Couture Beverlywood and did a bit of clever customisation on her Miss Selfridge bridesmaids dresses with with Honeypie Boutique bows and sashes.



The reception was done in true diner style with decorations and menus by www.rsvpcoordinators.com and Michelle herself. Food included giant hotdogs, burgers, waffles and ice cream sundaes - yum! Michelle even put together a sweet shop with jars she had collected from pound shops. 50s covers band 'Brothel Creepers' provided 50s style entertainment into the night.

Thanks to Al-overdrive for the lovely photos!

Wedding Anniversary Shoot

It's hard to believe it's been well over a year now since my own 50s style wedding! When the lovely Leanne from Without Equal Photography contacted us to arrange an anniversary shoot how could we refuse!

All those wedding day memories came flooding back as we dressed in our 50s finest and headed to the spot where we had our orignal wedding shoot. I wore the Betsey from Honeypie Boutique and chose to add a splash of red as this colour had been banned on our actual wedding day due to football allegiances!!



Leanne and Ricahrd did a fab job of capturing our vintage theme and had even managed to get hold of an original 50s picnic set, radio and newspaper for the shoot. You can check out their website by visiting www.withoutequal.co.uk

50s Style Pinup Shoots

I wish I knew about this when deciding what to buy my husband for a wedding gift! Kate Donovon, pinup photographer extraordinaire, offers makeover and photo packages from her studio in Manchester. I think any man would be very pleased to receive a sexy pinup style boudoir photo of their lovely wife to be! This would also be a fab idea for a 50s themed hen night activity.
