A Bridal Tea Party

Today I have the sweetest bridal tea party shoot to share with you from Photography by McKenzie. I just adore this idea, and think it would make for a sweet "bride party" with a bunch of newlywed friends. Put on your wedding dresses (because who doesn't want an excuse to wear your dress again?), serve tea and cupcakes, and have a grand time celebrating being a part of the married gals club. 

I am so in love with this shoot put together by some of Utah's finest vendors... the decor, the styling and the amazing flowers by Cali Rose Floral + Event Design, the sweet cupcakes in teacups - what's not to love?!

So gorgeous! Thank you so much to Photography by McKenzie for sharing this lovely shoot.

Tuesday Shoesday

We only have a little over a week left in London - I can't believe it has gone by so fast! London is definitely feeling more like home now, and I love it so much you could say I'm 'head over heels' for it here :) That's why this cute picture by Jessica Claire from her recent Royal Wedding inspired workshop here in the UK is so perfect for today!

Inspiration Board: Poppy Picnic

A late spring/early summer picnic wedding with poppy reds and pinks, bright yellow and touches of pale grey-blue. Handmade scones and victoria sponge cake with homemade strawberry jam which is also given away as favors. Patterned papers, DIY handpainted tablecloths, and vintage touches like mismatched plates and an antique looking mirror menu all add to the pinic-chic charm.

British Roadtrip: Bath

Greetings from Bath! We're on day two of our British road trip adventure, yesterday we picked up our Spaceship camper van and drove from London to Bath, taking the senic way and stopping in Castle Combe - "the prettiest village in England". After walking around this 14th century village, I quite agree. Steven Spielberg just got done filming scenes for his upcoming movie version of 'War Horse' here.

Our Spaceship van - "Rocket" 

 The Royal Crescent, Bath

 We walked around after dinner, and came across fire spinners in the park. After chatting with them and taking pictures, they insisted I join in. So here's me doing fire spinning, in a park, in the middle of Bath!

After the fire spinning, we headed to a haunted pub called Garrick's Head and met some actors who are in Bath touring with the musical 'Evita'. Meeting some of them for lunch today!

Today we are exploring more of Bath, having tea and visiting the Jane Austen Centre before heading to the Cotswalds.

We're on a British Road Trip!

Brandon and I are off this morning on a five day road trip through England and southern Scotland! We've rented a spaceship, basically a modern camper minivan, and are headed to Bath, the Cotswalds, the Lake District and Edinburgh. It will also be our first time driving on the left hand side of the road - scary! I'll be trying to post some lovely pictures from our journey as we go, and next week I'll get back to weddings.
