Vera Wang is an incredible fashion designer from New York. She used to be a magazine editor and competitive skater, but she’s obviously branched out since then! Now, since getting married, her company specialises in bridalwear. But she doesnt only do dresses and fashion, she also designs and sells exquisite tableware and other items that would make very elegant and generous gifts. This beautiful crockery set pictured above has a lovely modern-shaped jug but it’s all still quite vintage. The photography on her website is incredible as well, check it out here: www.verawangonweddings.com
Your wedding photographs may become your most treasured possession in the years after your special day, so it’s worth taking the time to get them right. But you don’t have to settle for the typical contrived wedding shots. There are so many talented contemporary photographers out there who might capture a unique angle, atmosphere, scene or poignant moment that the traditional approach may miss.
Shop around for local photographers and browse for specialists online where you can check out their portfolio, but we’d suggest going with someone who’s been recommended by a friend, if possible. In fact, for my own wedding we were lucky enough to get two photographers. so we could be sure we’d get all the shots we wanted!
The example image above is from Altmix Photography in the U.S.
I had a lovely surprise this Christmas when I received one of these driftwood hearts from my auntie and then found out that she made it herself. When I looked on the internet they’re actually very popular and pretty expensive. This equivalent is from www. bythesea.co.uk who supply some fabulous gifts and jewellery. You can also pick one of these up from Karen Millar – Devon Driftwood Designs Ltd. All great for that perfect wedding gift!
