questions, pictures, and one day: the beach !

Check out their site, there is quite cool stuff on there.

Liv often gets questions about her own one-day-wedding-of-her-dreams:
What kind of dress I would wear, what location I would choose….
most of the time followed by something like
“I am sure you must have thought a lot about it.”
To be honest: No! I haven’t. I am not that kinda gal ; )

A friend once said at a party: “If I should get married I want a f*cking flamingo on my head.” - Interesting.

Alright I don’t want to disappoint you, so:
I always had the dream to live in a city by the ocean one day, so I think I would really love to get married at the beach. Perfect would be a beach (because of the amazing spirit) and city rooftop (for the incredible party) combination.

Liv is (as far as it looks like right now) not getting married in the nearer future.
If I should get engaged one day there will still be plenty of time to figure it out,
depending on the situation, budget, partner, and place I will be living.

(And maybe-baby there is still a picture in my head…)

What about you?

oh la la Berlin Wedding

Liv recently interviewed Anne-Laure and Axel about their really cool
and off beat Berlin wedding.
They are living in Berlin and Paris (what a great combination by the way!)
but what made this wedding so special and unforgettable was that
absolutely everyone had an unforgettable time.

I really love the locations they picked: The old swimming pool,
filled with balloons is such a stylish yet playful dancefloor.

The small russian cafe KVARTIRA they had their (homemade!) lunch buffet in after the ceremony, is just so laid back and totally not over the top.
I like the urban street cafe atmosphere they have created.

When I asked them about their favorite moments of the wedding
HE answered THE PLANNING (hear that everyone? Planning is not only stressful, it can be the most fun part of your wedding)
He compared the wedding planning to event and party planning he did before and liked it that much that he even would like to help other couples with their planning.

He added, the best moments were after the ceremony when they looked at each other with the “woohooo now were married” looks.
And thats also what she said: walking out of the townhall, next to each other knowing that your now married, that was the best moment ever.
Suuronuded by all loved ones together to help celebrate this special moment with them was
a wonderful experience they are very thankful of.
They only invited their dearest friends and closest family members.

The invitations were designed by the couple themselves they created a contemporary poster, with an engagement photo, nice love song quotes
and of course the details for their wedding.
And also a rad idea to cut the costs.
It was important to them to plan everything their own and personal way, no matter if its traditional or not. Their one rule was: Nothing kitschy.

Asking Anne-Laure about her great bride style she said she put kind of randomly together!
Her mum found the Georges Rech jacket in a design outlet, she got the Max Azria dress through a friend at a special price and loved it immediately, her golden flats are from a little boutique in her neighbourhood.
Axels suit is by BOSS.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN! And thanks for sharing everything with us.

insane invites

I wish I had found one of these in my letterbox.
Must have been a rad wedding if these invites are anything to judge by!
Aren’t they great? Photobooths are always fun, and this calligraphy blew me away…they are really insane.
You can find amazing Holga honeymoon pictures and other addictive inspiration on their blog.
Liv had to share.

engagement guitar!

The awesome designer and writer of the blog MADE IN ENGLAND,
just got engaged to his amazing girlfriend and blogger of MONSTER MUNCH.
But instead of giving her a diamond ring,
HE GAVE HER AN ENGAGEMENT GUITAR: Now that really literally rocks!
“Rather than get a diamond ring, which to be honest I think is probably the least interesting thing you can spend a lot of money on,
I got her a guitar instead!
Neither of us play guitar, so at first sight it seems quite a random choice.. But her maiden name is Gibson, same as the legendary guitar makers, so I thought I’d get her something to remind her of that when she becomes Mrs Cookie.
I wanted to get her a vintage Gibson (this sort of thing just gets better with age), preferably a 1977 model to match her birth year (and mine). “
Congratulations guys: You rock!

sandrines parents

A True Love Story:

The other night in the pub our friend Sandrine mentioned she is going to France to attend the wedding of her parents. Right! Her parents! They have been together for 30 years, but have never tied the knot!.
Sandrine has kindly shared with us all the details so that i can share it with you all!

So this cute little love story goes like this…Jaqueline, 30 meets Jean-Marc, 24 (toy boy) at a fancy dress party in the south of France in 1979. Jean Marc was an indian, and Jaqueline was dressed as…Charlie Chaplin! 2 years later, Sandrine was born.

And now 30 years later, aged 60, and 54, they have finally decided to tie the knot this coming September. It will be a very discreet civil wedding with 2 official witnesses: Sandrine and her gran, Henriette, who at aged 80 has just returned from a cruise around Russia!! (more on that another time!) Unfortunately all of Sandrines other grand parents have now passed, making this a small but intimate affair.

The cutest part of this story has to be the fact that her Mum, visiting her fathers mother, and future inlaw has, on one knee and all, just asked her Grandma for the hand of her dad!!
Isn’t this unbelievable? Just proves its definitely never too late for a wedding.

A special thanks to Sandrine for sharing this story! Its real life and real people that inspire me most. Thanks honey!!

Simple.Meadow.Barefeet.

The meadow was too wicked to go barefeet, but it was their original plan!
“Simple. Meadow. We didn’t want anything to be contrived.”
Looks like they really stayed true to themselves. Simple but artistic.

She (Katie) is actress, photographer, singer/songwriter
He (Steve) is anti-war sailor, poet, lover.
“We both entered walking to “here comes the sun”. Our wedding song was “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” Both dancers ourselves, we improvised the entire performance. The idea is that, no matter how many traditional words there are in a ceremony, it really gets down to your actions and how you roll in the moment so that’s what we wanted to portray through our ceremony. I gained a lot of inspiration from offbeat bride, blogs, and my own idealism. I spent hours pouring through photographer’s websites.”
Finally this amazing photos were taken from
Glass And Plastic Photography

Her greatest statement after her wedding to keep this wonderful feeling alive:
“This idea of wonder, magic, and super-stardom should be incorporated into every day to save and not starve that which makes us inside glow“. DAMN RIGHT! I love this wedding!
Thanks for sharing, Katie.
