Boho Weddings:Becci and Patrick big, fun, Sheffield bash!!
Posted by: boho on: July 30, 2010
On July 2nd 2010, two of my very good friends Becci and Patrick tied the knot in Handsworth Church in Sheffield. Becci asked em to help her plan the wedding right after they booked the venue and the church, so I was lucky enough to be involved with the planning right from the beginning stage……the hardest bit for me was playing planner and guest on the day itself!!
The Diary of a bride to be……….Planning the hen Do!
Posted by: boho on: July 29, 2010
Yesterday I introduced Emma to you our lovely bride to be, with 11 weeks until her big day.
Today is the first day where we follow her journey from Miss Linder to Mrs Gregory
Chapter 1: Planning the Hen Do
For me, in less than 2 months its time for the biggest, most anticipated, (sometimes dreaded), night of a woman’s life. My hen do.
Now, please don’t get me wrong, of course I’m looking forward to it, its just I’m wondering whether the fact I’m likely to end up chaperoning a herd of lustful ladies on champagne around Dublin is a) appealing to me as at least I can post the pictures on Facebook before they do, or b) worse than a centrally positioned boil on your nose on THE big day.
After much deliberation over how to attempt a recession-proof hen do that will prove more exciting than a night in devising our own potent cocktails, I plumped for a day and night in the Emerald Isle. Cheap flights (as long as you only take hand luggage – cue arguments over who’s taking the GHD’s) and a twin bedded hotel rooms make the whole process come in for less than £60 per person. So far, so good. Now I’m left with the challenging task of dreaming up sufficient entertainment to please my wide variety of hens. From fussy eaters to man hunters, police officers to cabin crew, I’ve got my hands full!

Wedding Wednesday Discussion: D.I.Y weddings……….Good or Bad?
Posted by: boho on: July 28, 2010
Following on from the success of the last Wedding Wednesday Discussion, Here is the next one.
D.I.Y weddings……….Good or Bad?
I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject, the whole wedding fair discussion is still going on, I’d love to get a good reaction from you on this as well.
So the whole D.I.Y wedding culture has totally taken over the wedding world, it seems everyone has gone DIY mad! But want I want to know is this a good or bad thing?
With so many amazing blogs and websites around now and so many big national magazines, the ideas and inspiration for today’s bride is more varied, with a whole lot more choice and selection, BUT this has come at a time when the economic crises has hit the industry badly, so it seems the trend now is for the brides to do a lot of these things themselves.
Brides are calling in favours from friends and family, and armed with sticky back plastic, a collection of jam jars, tin cans, tissue paper and a glitter gun, seem more than happy to get dirty and make it themselves.

Featured Venue: Hargate Hall in Buxton Derbyshire
Posted by: boho on: July 27, 2010
After yesterdays post about the new wedding open day I am planning at Hargate Hall I thought it would be a good idea to tell you a bit more about the venue.
Boho Events – Hargate Hall Wedding Open day.
Posted by: boho on: July 26, 2010
After putting on the The Rainbow Wedding Tent at this years Sheffield pride my thoughts have been on wedding fairs and weather they work or not. (have a look at the article I wrote Are wedding fairs a thing of the past?)
So when I was contacted by Hargate Hall in Buxton Derbyshire to help put on their wedding fair I knew it had to be a different sort of day to make it work.
Hargate is a great venue, perfect for the DIY bride who is looking for something a step away from the country house/hotel wedding. (A full write up to follow tomorrow)
Real Weddings: Cowboy hats and the luck of the Irish.
Posted by: boho on: July 23, 2010
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to get an email from Claire Harrison a fantastic photographer based in Arizona in the US. Claire is originally from the UK, she emailed me telling me that she was moving back to the UK this year.
I will be featuring more of Claire’s work in future weeks and also covering an article on her and her move back to the UK.
As you probably know I love the American way of tacking pictures, and also the weddings over there, there just seems to be so much more scope and variety. The wedding that I’m sharing with you today is no exception, the atmosphere is cool, laid back and fun.

But today I received what I think has been the most original idea so far………even my husband was impressed!! The Wedding Tea Towel!!
