Winter is interminable, isn’t it? It hasn’t even really been properly cold yet (not worn a pair of gloves at all so far) and it still seems like it’s gone on forever. It’s been a bit nippier in the last couple of days though. Brr. As if to compound the grey misery of winter, I…

Wedding belles
So, I lied. I didn’t make it back for another post before Christmas. And I’ve been pretty much abstaining from the internet since – occasional social media monitoring and stuff excepted. And I did take a nice dress to wear on Christmas day, but ironing fatigue combined with the fact I’d left my camera turned…
No Ceremony – my vintage wedding shoot
Good morrow, good people! I have a large picture post for you today. A couple of months ago, I was lucky enough to be involved in a very wonderful photoshoot. It was a collaboration between lots of lovely ladies who are all in the wedding business, and particularly vintage weddings. I’ll let the pictures speak…
Best things
On Friday, I got to watch my best friend of fourteen years get married to her soulmate. It was the smallest, most fuss-free and intimate wedding I’ve ever attended, with only a handful of guests drawn from family and closest friends, a simple dress bought off-the-peg from a high street shop, two flower girls for…
Several thousand words…
Hi all! Rushing in and out with not a lot of time for writing, so I’m going to cheat and bung up some pictures of the things that made up my world last weekend, for an almost purely visual treat. Warning… there are a lot! Hope you enjoy 🙂 Friday… The Hendrick’s Courtship Clinic, which…
Fleur Fans
In the wake of what shall go down in Diary of a Vintage Girl history as VaGgate (har har, lol, snort, etc) (yes I am a child), I have received many positive emails and lovely messages from people. Unsurprisingly, I have not received any negative emails, because short of making a fake email profile (which,…
All new weddings-a-go-go
Well, following my epic 8 (I think … I lost count) weddings last year, the new year of nuptials has begun in earnest with me attending no less than two last weekend. I think it’s just that I am ‘that age’, with my girlfriends from my college and university days all marrying the partners they’ve…
Weddings, part a gazillion
Finally, my wedding season is over! I had a super busy day yesterday. I got up at 7, was in London at 10 for a photoshoot and then went back home and back up to London at 5pm for my aunt’s wedding reception! The photoshoot went fantastically well. The photographer, Stephen Thorne had come over…
A most civilised afternoon. And weddings, part 2!
Last Sunday, for my best friend Gemma’s birthday, she, I and her sister Sonia went off up to London to take Afternoon Tea at Fortnum and Mason. I have only ever been past this iconic London department store, and have never been inside, let alone bought anything. I have to say that Gemma did want…
Weddings part 1
This summer has been a whirlwind of wedding and hen parties. I feel like I am now sufficiently experienced to be able to start up my own business as a freelance professional wedding guest. I promise to turn up impeccably dressed and coiffed, bearing a tasteful card and will abstain from excessive drinking. I will…
