Otterburn towers Wedding

Last week I went to a wedding at Otterburn Towers hotel in Northumberland. The day was lovely with a cute service in one of the rooms in the said haunted hotel! Guests were able to stay over after the party which took part in a beautiful marquee outside and other hotels were close by for guests however with only one taxi opperating in Otterburn I would reccomend hiring a bus for my guests if I was to get married here or host a party in the spooky surroundings.

The marquee was decorated with ivy climbing up the walls which was a lovely touch, guests were given a bag of sweets to much their way through during the speeches and plenty of wine and champaz to hand. Not forgetting 2 adorable brides maids and page boy.

After the ceremony guests were handed pims to enjoy whilst photos were taken, the glasses were filled with fruit which was nice to see as some places can be a bit stingey!

The only comment I would have was that the bride and groom played a whole host of Ibiza type tunes which was to their taste, however killed the atmosphere on the dance floor and their were a few grumbles from older generation the next day! When choosing your playlist for any event always consider a variety of ages and generations!

And as always the bride looked gorgeous with a bang on trend lace dress with buttons all down the back and an amazing vintage style head piece which looked really classy.

Poor old blog

Ok so my blogs looking a little on the ill side at the moment! I managed to delete the cute background after trying to install some sort of html coding (of which I am no genius!) So currently im stuck here with it looking rather boring, ill wait for my boyfriend to get back from exhibiting his furniture in Vienna and sort it out for me! :)

Ive had a very busy few months working for Haymarket Exhibitions working within the Sponsorship department on Autosport Internatioanl, BBC Good Food Shows, Clothes Show Live, Clothes Show London, Masterchef live and BBC Gardeners World Live... phewfffff. After a whole year exploring the city of London I have moved back up north (Newcastle town) with a whole load of brilliant experience and a whole pile of work that needs completing before September eeeek.

I went surfing yesturday the first time in 2 years at Tynemouth, Newcastle Upon Tyne equiped with a small sister sized wet suit that I managed to squeeze into (although it did pinch around the neck a rather uncomfortable experience im sure you will agree) and a massive surfboard which we almost lost on the motorway on the way home when the tyke decided to detatch itself from the roof of the car, much to my horror. However I discovered a gorgeous beach cafe called Crusoes, filled with massive slabs of cake,baileys hot chocolate and a whole host of yummy food. This place is THE perfect beach party location for the north east. The photos for it at night look awsome also. Drinks and music on a sunny evening on the outside decking leading down to the sea would be brilliant to theme and a relaxing unique environment!

Totally love it check it out!

(Although after checking out their party buffet menu you would need a rather big budget however its worth negotiating and perhaps bringing in your own caterer, or hire the venue as a bar and host your own BBQ outside? It would also look great with some giant cushions outside like the ones you find in Turkey in bars!)

After refusing to get to know Twitter Ive finally decided that its probably a good move to get to grips with whats going on in the event industry and im already hooked! Wedding Ideas magazine is a personal fave and I love reading their updates and wedding stories. Today I discovered a brilliant blog called rock and roll bride http://www.rocknrollbride.com/ which has given me a fresh new outlook on weddings and also looks just brill as shes really into her photography so its given me a bit of inspiration to make my own blog look a little cheekier! I shall keep following!

Off to the gym after indulging in one of my sisters gorgeous chocolate brownies 'Betty's brownies'. I hope she goes into mass production so you too can also try her lovely taste sensations one day!

Love and surboards

Im back!

Ok so Ive screwed up what was a beautiful looking blog all due to the fact I tried to insert some html code to allow me to make money off my site... well its wortha try isnt it, new pretty site to follow in a few days.



So I havent done a blog in ages and really need to get going actually posting interesting stuff about events but ive been so busy actually working on them I havnt had a chance. So heres what Ive been up to!



After my amazing week at the BBC Good Food Show/ Gardeners World Live this was followed by an equally amazing time working at Clothes Show London. However I have to admit I was VERY gutted that Katie Price made no appearence!!! The weekend was full of gorgeous designer boutiques, Coronas with new boyband the Wanted, Dave Berry, George and Larry Lamb and Jeff Braizier and Marvyn Williams who to my absolute delight said '' ahhh heres my girl" that could have been a personal highlight of the year along with back in December Jeff asking me to sit and watch the fashion theatre performance with him, im not going to lie I text the whole of my phone book 'guess who im with?' Eeek :)



A particular highlight was the fashion theatre at this years show with fashion capitals theme it wowed the audiences with a massive stage, amazing lights and musical effects. Including a sparkly catwalk from Emma Bell's collection which was super!



The Corona beach bar was another personal fave , we raked the beach each night and helped create a real indoor beach it looked fab!



Amazing weekend however ended in tears after my credit card and blackberry got pinched in the last 15 mins of the show... It would be me!!!
