It’s not about being ‘stingy’ it’s about only getting what you really want and need out of your big day. For me, the dress and what I wear is important, of course, but it’s not the be all and end all of my day. I haven’t been dreaming of a wedding and a big white dress since I was a little girl.

The Copper Homeware Edit

Home & Interiors

Copper is everywhere at the moment and I love a metallic statement piece at the best of times! Here’s some of my favourite picks from the high street, the supermarket and independent retailers. And with prices ranging from £4.99 to £95 there’s a piece here for everyone’s budget.

Add a tiny touch of copper to any room with H&M’s Geometric Tealight Holder which comes in at under a fiver, this is a super cute coffee table or shelf addition. This geometric shape is also top of my interiors love list at the moment, the trend continues with George at Asda’s Copper Effect Origami Pendant Light Shade. For £20, this is an absolute bargain.
