It's that time again! Click your way over to Aspiring Kennedy to get the full recipe for these peach & lavender cobblers. Pretty and perfumed...what more could you want and in cute separate dishes they're perfect for entertaining. Why are individual desserts so much more appealing I wonder?

After months of planning, mood boards, sourcing, designing, painting and making, the Eley wedding finally arrived and I was very happy to find out Sarah and Ben had hired our wedding photographer! I knew without a doubt she would take lots of beautifully, dreamy photographs and it was a bit of a bonus/ deja vu to see her again on the day, in the same church we'd been married in. All of the delicious photos below are by Rebecca Wedding Photography, capturing lots of the little handmade details from the day and some of the beaming couple themselves. All details photographed are designed, styled, made or sourced by The Lovely Drawer, my biggest project to date.
All these bits and pieces were crammed into every nook and cranny of our little London flat. Yay for plenty of built in storage, that's all I can say! Transporting all these things from London back to Basingstoke was pure comedy (not so much at the time), the low point being when the wooden photo board stubbornly wouldn't fit in the car boot. This meant overcoming the power of all-purpose, heavy duty glue in order to prize all the elements off and re-fashioning a new, foam board version at the other end. Aaah improvisation!
I finished decorating the venue with just enough time to go home, throw on my dress and wing it to the wedding. It was such a lovely, Jesus filled celebration and the Bride and Groom's smiles were totally infectious.
It's suddenly got very wedding focused around here! This wedding was probably my biggest project of the year. The lovely couple came to meet with me to talk wedding stationery and by the end of our time together I'd signed up for styling and making the decor. This was something I'd been itching to do for a long time! The lovely couple got married in the summer and it was one of those sweet times when you already know both bride and groom, not to mention their families. It's always special designing in those situations. I already guessed Sarah would be wanting her day to be cute and girly so pinks and pastels were on the agenda and then this was mixed with quite a rustic vibe.
As for the details from the day, keep an look out for my next post. It's a big one! If you're getting married and you like what you see send me an email via the contact button for further details.
