It seems a shame to hide a funky pair of shoes under a long wedding dress so for next season I’ll be suggesting a hem line just above the knee.
When you check out the bridal shoes below you’ll see why:
And for those who can’t resisit the temptation of something a little different for their wedding here is the roll call:
1. ‘Butterfly’ by Terry de Havilland (as seen on the Brides web site)
2. ‘Lady Dragon Shoe with Heart’ by Vivienne Westwood
3. ‘Mary Jane’ by Vivienne Westwood
4. By Christian Louboutin (as seen on the Brides web site)
5. ‘Mrs Fairy’ by Feet Fairies
6. ‘Gale’ by Jimmy Choo
7. ‘Pewter Suzi’ by Terry de Havilland (as seen on the Shoeper Woman web site)

My last wedding of the year was at Cain Manor in Hampshire where it was a case of déja vous all over again. We photographed a wedding there last year on exactly the same weekend!
This time around it was the turn of Sarah and Ben to tie the knot, with a very festive ceremony and reception.
Sarah’s gorgeous dress was from Hollywood Dreams and her shoes from Pink.
The Bride and Groom are flying to Canada on Boxing Day to visit Sarah’s relatives.

On Saturday we were in a very wet Central London to photograph the wedding of Emily and James.
James and his Best Man, Nick, prepared for the day well by starting with a shave at Gentleman’s Tonic in Mayfair followed by a hearty brunch with the Ushers at Automat in nearby Dover Street. The meal, which included Ham and Eggs and American pancakes, was enjoyed by all.
Meanwhile, in an apartment overlooking the Thames, Emily and her Bridesmaids were sipping on Champagne as they got ready to leave for the church.
Emily’s dress, which was designed by Manuel Mota from Pronovias, was complimented by a very glamorous pair of Christian Louboutin stilettos. Her flowers were by Angela Bruce at New Covent Garden.
The Bride was chaperoned into St Saviours church in Pimlico by a barrage of brollie wielding Ushers. The same tactic was employed as the newly weds exited an hour later to head off to their reception at the Caledonian Club in Belgravia.
The couple are about to fly off on honeymoon to the West Coast of America and Hawaii.

My Bride and Groom on Saturday were Lisa Potterton and Mike Simpson. The ‘ropey’ Summer weather didn’t interfere too much and we had a fair amount of sunshine.
Lisa prepared at Mike’s parent’s house in Merstham which was also where they held the wedding reception later in the day; in a large marquee set on one of the terraced lawns.
The wedding ceremony was held a few hundred yards away at St Katherine’s church where over 120 guests congregated.
Although a lot of the flower arrangements were created by Mike’s Mother, Valerie, Lisa’s bridal bouquet was made by Nelly Maiklem who is based at nearby Fanny’s Farm Shop.
The Bride’s dress was also sourced locally, from Amante in Reigate and was finished off with a pair of Champagne coloured Jimmy Choos.
Excellent food was assured as the catering was provided by Bovingdons. The menu included slow roasted fillet of beef and home made Sicilian cheese cake!
After a first dance to Rod Stewart’s version of ‘Have I told You Lately’, the guests danced the night away to the music of the live band.
Lisa and Mike have now gone on a two week honeymoon to the USA.
