<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">We have been so busy with wedding planning and renovations lately that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">I wanted to create a peaceful and relaxing Valentine's this year. I wasn't really into doing anything big and extravagant and a Valentine's Movie Night at home seemed so fabulous that it was simply a must. Being me though I wasn't going to settle down with my sweetie with no decorations or details. No, no, no. I am the type of girly that gets a wee bit carried away with pretty things that help mark special occasions. With Valentine's being about love and romance there was a whole lot of pink and cheese (Valentine's Day - the movie). Lol, I think my man rolled his eyes when he saw the movie choice for the night. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hope you all had a truly fun and festive weekend ? This weekend was busy for us. We made pretty cocktail stirrers and Winter Warmer bags for our annual Christmas Lunch get together with friends. We finished trimming our tree, I managed a spot of do it yourself</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> in the flat, but didn't get too far (getting messy with glue and tinsel was far more appealing than painting door frames !). We wrapped a zillion Christmas presents and have enjoyed the week opening our mini advent gifts. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I just can't believe Christmas is around the corner. Are you prepared yet ? I am not ! I am off next weekend Christmas shopping as my mom is in town and I'm really looking forward to hitting the shops here in London. The trouble is when I am supposed to be looking for other people I am so tempted to buy for myself ... lol ... do you have this problem too ?!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyway, some of the things I will be doing this Christmas is working on my pink, white and gold theme. There will be glittery letters, lots of twinkly lights around the flat as well as some home made glittered animals such as these sweet reindeers to hang on our tree.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am so excited and can't wait to put up our tree next Saturday. I know it's just the 1st but at least I'm not putting it up in November (no offence to those that do) it just seems wrong ... well for me anyway !</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Life has many stresses and they often come on a day to day basis. What do we do about them? We let them get to us and allow them to bring us down.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">Oh how pinteresting ...</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am hoping to work on a special wedding next year, which I am super excited about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The main reason this wedding in particular has my heart laughing is because there is a possibility that it could be outdoors that's if the Bride and Groom so wish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What I believe they would like is a minimalistic rustic wedding with lots of bright flowers, long wooden tables, strings of lights, an outdoor dance floor and of course a few personal details that reflect the couple.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love calligraphy. I love anything pretty and girly and I especially love it when people pay particular attention to such details. I don't like bad handwriting. Sloppy, badly written addresses makes me want to cry. Where is the passion, the enthusiasm, the heart and the soul and most importantly the love ?? Hmmm, OK maybe I am being a little overdramatic (I studied theatre), but seriously in all honestly wouldn't your heart skip a beat, if you were to receive an invitation in a calligraphed envelope as beautifully crafted as the ones above? I know for a FACT that I would ... and there is no doubt about that.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now my point of this post ... is ... <b>would you</b> pay to have someone handwrite your addresses in calligraphy or would you stick to your own hand or even have labels printed up ? If the above interests you ... then how much would you be willing to spend per envelope ?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And don't forget to be honest, I love honesty :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the meantime I am off for some snoozey.</span></div>

Be it at weddings, at home or even in fashion this wonderful, fun and vibrant colour has me beaming from ear to ear. It's fresh, but warm and oh so wholesome. I believe it would look truly spectacular with a white and gold backdrop. And don't worry you don't need a lot of it, just a small touch to make a huge impact.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This year I kept my birthday rather casual. I didn't plan on anything spectacular </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">partly due to the fact that I have a lot of things in the making at the moment and I am spending most of my time focusing on a number of these goals.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So a few of my close friends and I ended up spending the evening at a sweet little Italian restaurant in the heart of London's West End. And although I was rather ill with a flaming cough and head cold I still had a wonderful evening for which I am truly grateful; thanks guys for the terrific presents !!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">BTW ... I arranged the flowers. Do you like them ?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I thought they turned out pretty well and fit perfectly with the decor. Can you believe that I had never visited this particular Zizzi branch before ... lol lucky I guess that the flowers were the exact same colours as the chairs and menus hahaha ... Luck I guess !</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have been whinging a lot lately mostly to myself, but it has really gotten to me and without hiding it any longer I have to admit it has really been getting me down.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You see there are so many wonderful blogs out there with fantastic DIY projects and shoots that look wonderful, perfect lighting, props etc ...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In comparison mine look terrible. I mean even the last photo I added of our 'Save the Dates' I am not at all happy with. The lighting is so freaking dark I just want to scream.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyway, last night I spent my very first evening with a load of brunches from <a href="http://www.blogbrunch.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f4cccc;">Blog Brunch</span></a>. My did I learn a lot about <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;"><a href="http://www.blogbrunch.com/event/staging-and-styling/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">staging and styling</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">. </span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">What you need ...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">a. BOX - Make sure to find a box that is fairly big and one that is square.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">b. FABRIC - Source two white extra large t-shirts. Be certain to m</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ake sure they are as white as possible so that you get the right effect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">c. TAPE - Purchase regular masking tape to attach the fabric to the box.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">d. GLUE - You can use a glue stick or adhesive spray to stick the lining inside the box.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">e. CARD - Buy two big sheets of white card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">f. LIGHTS - Lighting is the most important part of the box, without it you will not get the effect you are looking for. Hop on down to IKEA and get a standard desk lamp, which is cheap and will do the trick.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">g. TOOLS - Ruler, scissors and Stanley knife.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Take your box with a tape ruler and measure in 2" from the side of the box marking multiple points with your ruler. When you are done you will see your border, connect your points with a straight long ruler. You should be looking at a nice square in the middle of the box with a 2" border. Leave the top and bottom of the box as you will not need to mark it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cut out the boxes you have drawn on all four sides. When you are done remove the flaps from the top of the box, but remember to LEAVE THE BOTTOM and it should hopefully look like this ... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Take your card and mark lines with your marker of 2", sixteen times. Then cut out the 16 strips with your scissors. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Next take the strips and glue them into your box {make sure the side with the marker goes against the box so that it cannot be seen}.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now take another sheet of white card and cut it so that it is the same size width as the inside of the box and the length much longer than the box.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Place this long piece of card into the box allowing the card to curve towards the bottom of the box. AVOID creasing the card as it will show up once the box is lit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cut off the excess card that is sticking out at the top of the box. Like so ...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Take your extra large white t-shirts and cut them to a size that will allow you to cover the 2 side holes. Make sure to cut a bigger piece for the top of the box.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tape the fabric to cover the holes on the outside of the box except the one that is facing the background {this is the window for the camera}. Lastly, tape the larger piece to the top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I looked at so many ideas all over the internet and saw some pretty wonderful </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and exciting ideas that were truly spectacular. Gosh if you haven't heard of <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">pinterest</span></a> yet then may I suggest that you get on over there right now to be wooed ?!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With so many great ideas</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> in mind we were able to decide</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> upon a theme... whoopee and yes the best thing is that they reflect us as a couple and I am so so so happy with the result .... </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You see Eddy and I love to organise dinner </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">for family and friends and whipping up something truly scrumptious for dessert usually has my heart singing for joy. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You have had a busy day and if you are anything like me then you don't want to spend ages slaving away in the kitchen preparing something delicious.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

A wonderful fresh and sweet pizza which is; lets put it my way 'overwhelmingly scrumptious' you will be wanting to make more for sure !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Tomato and Rocket Pizza with olive tapenade </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f4cccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">100g Sweet Vine Tomatoes, halved</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">1 Pizza Base</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">2-3 tbsp Olive and Sun-dried Tomato Tapenade</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">1/2 small red onion, finely sliced</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">125g mozzarella, torn into pieces</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">1 tbsp olive oil</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Handful of wild rocket</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano, to serve</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">First preheat the oven to 170c, gas mark 3. Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and cook until softened and starting to dry, but not browned (about 20 minutes).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After having taken the tomatoes out of the oven increase the temperature to 220c, gas mark 7. Place the pizza base onto a baking sheet and spread the tapenade over the base leaving a border around the edge, then add the tomatoes, onion and mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Bake for roughly 8-10 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling and the base is crisp. Serve scattered with the parmigiano reggiano and rocket, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I would suggest that you serve the pizza with a goats cheese and sun-dried tomato salad with honey dressing to add to the pizza's sweetness oh and don't forget a dashing of sea salt. This really worked for me in fact I am seriously craving more right now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">Weddings and details ...</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are weddings here in the UK that are seriously not my style in fact they are so old school, so blah and boring that I really want to scream. I know that the UK is really starting to catch on with the likes of US style weddings, which makes me super happy, but why are we still so far behind ?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I don't want to seem rude or anything, but are there any other fellow Brits reading this that would agree ? I mean look at the Americans, the French, the Spanish, now they know how to throw a real wedding. Look at the fun games, the small details that turn a hey ok wedding into spectacular event.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

One of the reasons I believe I excel at planning parties is simply because I love to concentrate on the mini additions, which really bring a table arrangement to life.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For one I love this photo shoot first shown by <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f4cccc;"><a href="http://www.greenweddingshoes.com/a-new-years-eve-sparkly-wedding/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f4cccc;">Green Wedding Shoes</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">. Look at how beautiful it is with it's white, gold and pink accents. I love the golden log to hold the florals, the white backdrop, the pink peonies, the gold cutlery, the confetti, the sweet paper flowers on the wall. So eye catching wouldn't you agree ?</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well we can all have this and it needn't be expensive. You can make a lot of these things yourself. You just need to have the time and the patience and if you look on google and research wedding games there are tons of ideas out there.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you are in the process of wedding planning would you mind if I really encouraged you to think about such details ? I promise that they would definitely turn your wedding into a truly fantastic union certainly worth remembering forever.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Learn how to make yourself some table runners, ribbon garlands, floral arrangements, paper flowers, pom poms, your own seating charts, homemade wedding favours. The list is endless, but not impossible. Go on give it a try !</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Tents, tents galore ....</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hey there ! First off let me apologise for the lack of communication, only my family and I have been away in sunny Greece and have also spent some time doing some much needed DIY in our flat (about time). It's still not finished and there is so much to do, which is frustrating cause all this painting business is boring me I just want to get down to the interiors !</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyway, on a side note. I think I am in love with the idea of this tent:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The tent was made by the lovely </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Tori Hendrix</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> from </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.sittinginatreeblog.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Sitting in a Tree</span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. It is so sweet. I am in love !</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Perfect, perfect, perfect for the babes when out in the sunshine. Can't find enough shade then just make yourself a tent. You can easily customise the tent as they get older adding colour, as you go along, lace, pom poms, curtains and fairy lights etc ...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh why don't I have an excuse to make one of these now. Would it be too early to make one before even planning a baby ?! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1/2 tsp baking powder</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">400g icing sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3 - 4 tbsp water.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.planetbake.co.uk/white-decorating-glitter"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">Edible glitter</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> (optional)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Using your hand held electric whisk cream the sugar and butter together in a bowl until it starts to create peaks. After slowly beat in the egg until light and fluffy. Take the flour and gradually add along with the baking powder and salt. I find at this stage that it is best to blend in the dry ingredients with a spatula and then knead on a floured surface. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1cm. And then using a heart shaped cutter cut out the biscuits then transfer to a baking tray with baking paper. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Bake the biscuits for just 10 - 12 minutes, until the biscuits are a light golden colour. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Be careful</span> though not to overcook the biscuits. Leave to cool on a wire rack.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For the icing, sift the icing sugar and stir in enough water to create a thickish paste. Add some to a pipe bag and carefully line the biscuits with a thin line of icing. Leave to dry and then adding a little more water to the paste make a thinner paste then use this to cover the rest of the biscuit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">NOTE: for the adults I suggest that you brew some good quality coffee to really enjoy these tasty biscuits at the end of a meal or even as a four o'clock treat !</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f4cccc;">Flower girls</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">. I have been thinking a lot about flower girls lately. Yes I am having some at our wedding next year, but the thing is I am struggling; struggling with the fact that I can't seem to find any nice dresses, why are they all so darn tacky ??</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been on Oxford Street and Regent Street and in all the big shops here in London in an attempt to find something special for my girls, but there is nothing that just screams 'you gotta buy me, i'll look really cute and adorable'. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> What I certainly don't want is a replica of the 'Big Fat Gypsy Wedding'. Lol...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I like airy and floaty dresses on girls. Chiffon is nice, satin is a big no no (for me anyway), lace is really adorable too.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now don't think you can just sit back and daydream all day. You will have to put some effort into it, but if you work with a determined and positive attitude, believing you can do this or that, then you really will be able to.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, as a result, I thought that it might be a good idea to start testing some of these recipes to see what works and what does not work, because seriously something really should taste as good as it looks otherwise it is so easy to be disappointed and that I do not want especially <b>not</b> at my wedding !</span></div>
