A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Kate Moss Wedding Photographs, By Mario Testino for American Vogue

August 13th, 2011 | Brides Up North Wedding Blog

I featured Kate Moss’ wedding to Jamie Hince a little while ago on the bridal blog (to see the feature and all the images click here) however, it’s time for an update, as the official photographs are out! I think I was excited to see these as my own wedding photographs (which, if you are interested, you can see here – but I’m no supermodel!).

Kate and Jamie’s official photographs were taken by Mario Testino and feature in the latest issue of American Vogue.

How gorgeous are Kate’s little flower girls and pages?! She looks like queen of the fairies.

Newlywed Style Crush: Kate Middleton

July 29th, 2011 | Brides Up North Wedding Blog

So. I am off to London this weekend (in fact I’m just about to jump on the train as you read this). I’m meeting some people, seeing some friends for a long overdue catch up and queuing up for a very special exhibition. Yes! I’m off to see the Royal Wedding dress on display at Bucks House. I can’t help it. I can’t stay away. I can’t wait!

Vanity Fair

Alas though, the friends I am visiting happen mainly to be stinky boys. They will not entertain the idea of coming with me. I have tried to reason with them that nay, this isn’t a dress, it’s a piece of history! To no avail. They see through that argument. After all, I’m not exactly suggesting (nor ever have ever suggested anything even similar to) a trip to the Tower of London, am I? Nor am I really all that interested in the rest of the exhibition…

So, my friends, this wedding blogger is going it alone.

And you know you what? I’m rather looking forward to it. A morning jaunt to the Palace will be topped off by a swift sprint down the King’s Road and a stop off at Topshop Oxford Circus. When in Rome!

I shall report back.

Meanwhile, it has not escaped my attention that the Duchess formerly known as K Middy has been dressing up a storm on her recent trip to the USA. If this is the new “newlywed” dressing we Brides Up North had better be prepared. Lucky for you, I’ve done some homework. Here is how to throw some fashion shapes, Royal style.

Mr & Mrs Crouch: Abbey Wears Giles Deacon Well

July 14th, 2011 | Brides Up North Wedding Blog

Whilst it may not have been the smoothest of rides to the altar, Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch were all smiles on their wedding day in the Leicestershire sunshine a week or so ago.

I think this has to be this wedding blogger’s favourite celebrity wedding dress this year so far (yes, even better than this and this!). To me, Abbey’s model credentials shine through and she absolutely rocks this Giles Deacon stunner, teamed with red nails and sultry eyes. Its big, its bold and it’s absolutely brilliant. This Liver bird has some style.

Let’s just hope Peter didn’t spoil the effect by pulling out “the robot” on the dance floor at the luxury Stapleford Park Hotel!

What do you reckon Brides Up North? A premier(ship) choice or an own goal for this Northern WAG?

July 4th, 2011 | Brides Up North Wedding Blog

Brides Up North Wedding Blog: Kate Moss and Jamie Hince Wedding

Unless you have been living on the moon (would that count as ‘Up North?!) it probably hasn’t escaped your notice that super super Kate Moss and Jamie Hince were married this weekend in an an English wedding does rock and roll star studded affair. Huge congratulations to the happy couple.

This wedding blogger thinks that Kate looks stunning in her vintage style dress cathedral veil, designed by John Galliano. The sheer skirt of the dress was cut on the bias and adorned with sequins, gold leaf embroidery and rhinestones. Kate also sported Manolo Blahnik heels.

She had obviously gotten her beauty sleep.

Kate’s daughter Lila Grace was her chief bridesmaid, and her maid of honour was her former casting agent Jess Hallett. Jess wore a gown by Stella McCartney.

The couple were married at St Peters Church in Little Farringdon, before heading home to Kate’s Cotswolds mansion to let a three day party begin! It will still be going on now…! The legendary Snoop Dogg is said to be amongst those performing to the celebrity crowd.

Fancy a wedding dress like Kate’s? One of my all time favourite wedding dresses, Jenny Packham’s gown, Papillon, is similar – and was on this wedding blogger’s shortlist for my own wedding in October 2011.
