Daisy Who didn’t like making daisy chains as a little girl? It was, i’m sure, something almost every little girl did in her years as a child running carelessly through the fields in her school grounds, possibly picturing her wedding day when she grows up with daisies in her hair or in a chain being draped around her forehead. And what a lovely idea? Boho chic is such a beautiful style and goes perfectly with our summertime festival theme. Channel your inner hippie with vintage-inspired floral crowns, friendship bracelets and beautiful
head garlands. Walk down the aisle barefoot and feel the breeze on your face as the summer air hits your skin. Imagine the sunlight glistening on your beaded necklaces and reflecting all the colours of the rainbow, from tribal jewellery to edgy, chunky to metallic, this summer’s accessories are bold, bright and for the fashion savvy. They’re a great way to add to your outfit whether you’re circuiting the festival scene or embracing an alternative boho summer wedding, you’ll look like you’ve just stepped of the beaches of Monaco!

There’s so much more to wedding food than chicken, veg and potatoes. And I could interest you with modern trends of unusual catering ideas, however I am going to give you something different. The Americans are good at it, using unique food combinations which make some people blurt ‘that sounds disgusting!’ Peanut butter jelly, bacon & maple syrup pancakes, Nutella-topped Pringles, even mahed potato and waffles. But let’s think weddings. How about a Mashed Potato Bar? A Popcorn Bar? Remember ‘sweet & salty’ is in! A Taco Bar? A Cocktail Bar? A Fruit Pizza Bar?
Your guests could fill their plates with an original mash-up of flavours whilst sticking to one main food item. Obviously don’t go too over the top, maybe this would only work for a more informal evening reception, when guests have had a bit to drink too. But I think it’s time to be creative on this one, and it will of course be a great ice-breaking conversation for some. People like different, although you will get some tradtionists who will turn their noses up at cookie & grilled cheese on a waffle shapped pancake. Their loss! This is your day. If you want to mix it up, then be my guest - I would sure want to be yours!

Backto Well times have certainly changed… no longer is it the norm to have the traditional wedding shoe’s or dresses… and I say “hear hear! about blooming time!” What a great opportunity for free expression than your own wedding day! After all it’s another way to have creative photography, themed décor, alternative dresses and bespoke shoes!! But what better way than the clothes you wear to truly express who you are. Why not have festival fun by having a mish mash of colours, wedding dresses with uber cute wellies! Be brave, be vibrant and go for
what you want. There really is no excuse to be less than your selves on your special day.. My tip:- “don’t be tied up in other people’s expectations of what your day should be. It’s bad enough that you have to give way on a guest list to appease family and friends. So put on a show and let those that come to celebrate your day, celebrate in a style that befits you and only you!! … ooo and party till the sun goes down!” Miss to Mrs loves some festive fun, great for summer weddings rain or shine and at least you will be prepared for any British weather and you will look fab on all your photos too.

Rainbows & butterflies have to be on my list of top most beautiful things in the world. As a child I would watch from the back seat of the car, at a huge rainbow and just wonder whether the legend was true! Butterflies captivated me with their delicately colourful wings. As a resident photographer to Miss to Mrs I work with many couples planning their big day. I am always surprised by the array of favours, flowers, jewellery & stationery each couple chooses, in all types of themes from vintage, classical, creative to alternative. With so many suppliers offering bespoke services, each couple can be assured of finding something that
s w o b n i a R & butterflys
is unique to them. Having your dream wedding the way you want is no longer a legend. You really don’t have to look hard to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You dream it! They can make it!! That’s the beauty about handcrafted, there is no set template, no over produced product that anyone can have and even if you are not completely clear on what you want. Then let the designers and crafters creativity delicately flow just like the wings of a butterfly… entrancing you with their designs. Good luck… but you won’t need it because Miss to Mrs Magazine has selected a fine bunch to choose from.

Dolly Summer is the time for festivals and celebrations, sweat proof deodorants and waterproof mascara! Think of warm summer nights, birds tweeting in the sun, the smell of freshly cut grass, and maybe…………… an outdoor wedding! What better time to have a wedding than in the summer when your skin is radiant and your hair has been sun kissed with a natural golden glow. There are two looks you could go for with summertime wedding - firstly you could stick to the traditional more natural look with subtle nude tones accentuating your natural features and complimenting your hair and eye colour. This look really goes well with an outdoor wedding, simplicity at its best in a beautiful and natural setting. Pure and effective and is what most brides tend to go for. Secondly, you could stand out by going for a festival look!

I’m thinking bold eye makeup, bronze skin and that timeless liquid eyeliner! Jumping in head first and embracing all things summer with a bright and bold look! Your skin is the most important thing for your make-up to look flawless, so it needs to be looked after. Cleanse and moisturise and think about booking some facials in the months leading up to the wedding. Your make-up is an important part of your overall look so if you are not confident when it comes to make-up and don’t have a make-up style in mind, look into celebrity styles that you like or you think will suit you. Your make-up artist will help with inspiration! They should take into consideration your dress, personal make-up style, wedding style, colour themes, your natural colouring and facial features to create a make-up look that is perfect for you!
explained that the company decided against network marketing and the image it portrays, and that I should not have been able to have submitted the request. After a chat and our joint belief in fate we arranged a meeting to discuss a way forward. Having discussed the products and the plans for the business to develop its skincare, cosmetic range, and a few more treats John agreed that I could sell the Richibrown products. The brand has a great reputation with a great product and many more to come and i can’t wait for the journey.

I was introduced to Richibrown through my partner as he had heard of the brand prior to release through a friend. I was looking at the option of network marketing as he was aware that Richibrown was going to be marketed that way prior to the launch in 2010. So I visited the site, entered my details to set up my account for network marketing and waited. Two days later I hadn’t heard anything so I contacted the company via email explaining how my partner had made me aware of the opportunity. To my surprise the owner John Richardson contacted me and
