Here I am…so tired after a day of scouting, sneaking, sourcing, shopping…a few images of new entries into our stock of decorative elements. Markets are full of ideas, I wish I could just wander from city to city visiting them.
Anyway, Portobello on a Friday afternoon, when there are no tourists obstructing your view and you can actually take your time to look around is THE BEST!
Here are today’s purchases:
Vintage white light dress …perfect to hang, decorate a tree, a photo shoot
I told my husband that we now HAVE TO organise another party!
Vintage Marine hat for our photobooth corner..
Another almost new vintage suitcase (One of my current grooms would hate it and I still think about his sad story…however I can’t help it…but add new pieces to my collection! :-))
Yes, I have finally found a mercury glass vase that I like…hurrah!
And my old friend at the market had this gorgeous mirror which works perfectly at our girlie corner..let’s dance babes!

Officially the wedding season has started and here a glimpse of our first wedding.
A lovely couple, mixture of cultures, Russia meets the Netherlands, have decided to celebrate their wedding in this beautiful Castle situated in the beautiful hills of Florence, Tuscany, Italy. They chose the theme of ‘ travel and love’, their journey through life, sealed with a kissed and the promise of their love. The event was simple, fresh and romantic with many details as a reminiscence of the travel mood. Antique globe and an old travel case, blue and red striped borders on papers as if in an vintage envelop, names of cities as table names and many other more lovely details, were the main features of this wedding.
These are just some amateur images taken with my Instagram camera but I hope soon to have something more to post…more to come!

Italy…it’s such a difficult country to live in…many visitors don’t realise it but for the residents there is always something wrong, something to complain about.
The perfect country for a wedding I would say, an amazing paradise for a short break or a long relaxing summer holiday…but not the best place to settle.
I live in London and I have chosen this city after having tried Madrid, Aix en Provence and Munich. I love London and would not trade it…unless I decide to move to a peaceful island to surf every day. :-)
Having said that, still, every time I arrive in Italy I am overwhelmed by its magic. Here are some images of Florence, Tuscany and Rome that captured my heart this past weekend.

Sgrunt! I am back in London following 10 super days of surfing in Barbados. Apart from the fact that I am jet-lagged and my holidays are pretty much over, I can proudly say that my surfing skills have improved and that I have met a few new friends overseas. Lots of Turtles, lots of mangos and lots of beautiful colours: this is what I have taken away with me. Here are some images for a Bajan (Barbadian) inspired palette with a few accessories that you can easily purchase in London and would fit in well with any laid back island mood.

When I was in New York, I bumped into a store selling kitchen appliances. Admiring for more than 10 minutes these items, I was wondering if I had to buy one of those or if my shopping desire was going a little bit too wild on that day!
What will I do with these, once back home?…I was only able to envisage them between vases and flowers and therefore… what did I do? I bought them!!!
The other day I went to the market, again stared at thousands of spring flowers, remained in silence between scents and colours, thinking about my little glass dolls. My attention was captured by some strange green plant and white ranunculus so packed the flowers, ran back home, and create my table decoration. My dollies finally had a place to live, and for this, I decided to include them on our Chicweddings styling proposal. Not something that everyone would incorporate but I still believe they look great if used in the right way.
Below some images of my final table decoration for trying out purposes! :)

I watched this video this morning, when I woke up. My husband handed me his iPhone in bed and I was either very emotional, or still in my personal world of dreams as tears came to my eyes. PASSION, LOVE, DETERMINATION, HOPE…yes, we always keep dreaming…and we never stop.

A short post for tonight, unfortunately, we have been too busy in helping our lovely brides… the wedding season is approaching!!!
The past week end I have been accompanying my clients to Florence and while walking and strolling after a day with them, I bumped into this beautiful creation! I love these cactus shaped vases, and I love even more the contrast with the orchids…it made me think about the difference between men and women, their strong contrasting personalities which complement themselves adding harmony to their relationship. One is harsh, sometimes aggressive, or defensive, white and pure as a man often can be, the other one delicate, beautiful with soft skin, colourful as our gender can be.
Two opposite elements, in the world of plants… isn’t nature just perfect?
