Hello there!
It's been a while since I've visited my Blogger and So Pretty Was She and am incredibly surprised that people are still being directed to the site.
I am working on a few projects at the moment, namely:
1. Writing and rehearsing 2 comedy shows for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
2. Planning a vintage 'goods' business
3. Working on craft and wedding planning projects
...I guess I could move the blog into a new direction (including weddingy stuff too!) if you guys would be interested?
So yes, thanks very much for popping by - I hope you find some inspiration :)

In the mean time, there are some interesting posts here, and I'm also over on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

And then it was time to ROCK..AOKE!!!
When you're planning a wedding on a tight budget but want to throw one hell of a party you have to make some tough choices. For us, when it came down to choosing a videographer or a band, there was a resounding cry of ROCKAOKE!!! And boy did they not disappoint.
After a loooong day of posing for photographs, champagne and warm wishes it was an absolute breath of fresh air to let our hair down and ROCK ON. Bride and groom, guests and staff alike sang, danced and pumped their fists in the air.
Rockaoke have an extensive song list with a variety of genres: 80's Power Ballads, Cheesy Duets, Glam Rock and Brit Pop just to name a few. Add to the mix a slick guitar, funky bass, poppin drums and sweet backing vocals you couldn't be blamed for thinking that you're headlining at Wembley.
Did I mention that we are all show ponies?
Aside from being consummate professionals and fantastic musicians, the ROCKAOKE peeps are incredibly lovely, supportive and SUPER FUN. Everyone was up for a party and I definitely felt like a Rock Star in a wedding dress.
If you wish to book ROCKAOKE or check out that they're all about, follow these links:

I was there!! - The Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza
I can't enthuse enough how much I enjoyed the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza yesterday! Firstly, I love a road trip, so heading to Birmingham for the afternoon with my hubby in tow was bliss. Add onto that the fact that the EWE was the friendliest and most creative wedding fair I've ever been to, and it was pretty much a perfect arvo.
It was a pleasure to meet so many small-wedding-business people who are passionate about the products and services they provide. It was even more of a pleasure to see that all those products and services were GORGEOUS!
Here are some of my faves...
LOVE ILLUSTRATED
David and Sian create colourfully quirky wedding stationery.
RESTORATION CAKE
Charlotte of Restoration Cake fame is not only one of the nicest people you will ever meet, but will create a cake for you which will have you drooling before you even taste it!
Of course there were many more companies showing at EWE (and I bet there will be an overflow next time!) which I would love to share with you, but I will be showcasing them in their own blog posts.
Were you at the fair? Which stands did you enjoy?

The brainchild of Jo (who co-created EWE!), The Couture Company creates luscious bespoke wedding gowns. I desperately wished that we had won the lottery so that I could take everything home with me!

Wedding Planning Course
As some of you may know, I'm currently studying for a certificate in Wedding Planning...this is aside from creating the new So Pretty Was She website (including copying each blogpost over!), creating items for the SPWS Etsy store, photographing/uploading items to the SPWS Etsy Store, writing Thank You cards to all our wedding guests and dreaming of puppies.
As part of the course, it is required to plan fantasy weddings and I'm *super* chuffed to have already been doing this (and more importantly, writing it down!) for this blog for ages!!! Hooray, it's a cinch!!!
These are my favourite past editions of (Wedding) Fantasy Friday, ones that I wish I had planned my own wedding to be:
1. The Coney Island Wedding full of colour, fun and fairground food.
2. The Retro 1950's Wedding complete with giant petticoats, quiffs and Elvis *swoooon*.
3. The low-key backyard breakfast wedding with lots of homely love.
Which (Wedding) Fantasy Friday is your favourite?
