Behind The Scenes for ‘Ashley Sofia Events’

Posted on by

This was one of the best photo shoots I have done in ages, tons of fun and the location was just superb. Ashley is a self taught florist and has such amazing creative talent. Her floristry is magical, beautiful and original. We decided to get together a few months ago when Ashley contacted me through Twitter. Plans went into action for a very different shoot indeed.

The entire week before we had showers, shadows and no sun whatsoever. Mine and Ashley’s vision was looking like it was going to be doomed from the outset.

We woke up on the day of the shoot to see clear blues skies and not a drop of rain. Here is a look behind the scenes!

Joking aside a shoot like this takes weeks if not months of preparation. The test shots need to be sorted at the location, clothing needs to be sourced, props hired and the setting up takes hours. Tons of hanging about for the model or models. Lottie was freezing between sets poor girl. Coffee runs and catering has to be thought of too. P1130763P1130820P1130826IMG_2646P1130827IMG_2733IMG_2712

Delicious cakes eaten and a little delirious from all the laughter on set we called it a day. Perfect shoot in the bag and and a perfect friendship formed.

Taittinger Champagne | Weddings

Posted on by

At Frost we have been reviewing Taittinger champagne for you. I know, it is a hard job. We reviewed three different bottles.

taittinger, champagne,

Taittinger Nocturne Sec NV, RRP £47, John Lewis, Harrods, winedirect.com

The Taittinger Nocturne Sec NV is a pale yellow champagne with delicate bubbles. It has overtones of yellow peaches and dried apricot. A wonderful, classy champagne which is rich and smooth. The wine is aged for at least four years and is the perfect champagne for desserts and wedding toasts. I could drink this everyday.

Tattinger Brut Réserve NV, RRP £38.99,

A delicious and light champagne. The Taittinger Brut Reserve NV is renowned for it’s golden yellow colour. The nose is light and delicate with hints of fruits and brioche. The wine has depth as it is aged for 3-4 years. Perfect with white meat, fish, shellfish and canapes. Also perfect as an aperitif.

Taittinger Prélude Grands Crus NV, RRP £49, Majestic, Oxford Wine Company, Fortnum & Mason

A brilliant, pale yellow with silvery highlights which is reflective of the high proportions of chardonnay. Subtle and fresh with floral scents and hints of elderflower and spicy cinnamon overtones. The flavour is dominated by intense fresh citrus fruit. This wine comes from the top Grand Cru sites and is made from the first pressing. It is aged for 4-5 years, sometimes more. A real treat, wonderful.

Perfect if you want to really treat your guests. Goes with grilled & roasted white meat. fish/shellfish and as an award-winning aperitif.

Taittinger’s is one of the champagne brands that everyone trusts, and what is better for your wedding than not having to worry about what people are drinking? They will enjoy one of these bottle, we certainly did.

I can’t tell you which one was our favourite as we all chose different champagne and each one has it’s perfect situation, but Frost Loves Taittinger.

 

Blingbacks Shoe Jewellery | Weddings

Posted on by

Planning a wedding gives you lots of choices and you come across some amazing things. These Blingbacks are one of those amazing things.They bling up your shoes, and if any day is the day to bling, your wedding day certainly is that day. This is the one day of your life you can get away with looking and acting like a princess.

Whilst reviewing the Blingbacks I made sure they were easy to put on (check), didn’t look cheap, (check), and stayed on (check). They take any pair of shoes and make them look beautiful. I am a bit of a magpie and I love these. They sparkle so much and are easy to put on any pair of high heels. They add a bit of razzle dazzle, which is what you want on your wedding day.

The Blingbacks are not only glamarous, but also comfortable, they stop your shoes rubbing! What more could you possibly want?

Below you can see the Blingbacks in their box and then on the same pair of shoes.

The perfect gift this Christmas for any Bride to be. Accessorise your shoes with Blingbacks, a shoe jewellery collection with a twist, the perfect way to transform your shoes from day to night. Jazz-up a pair of heels whilst protecting them from rubbing and slipping with Blingbacks Shoe Jewellery, an ingenious foot care solution that cushions your heels as well.

 

We all hate that painful rubbing feeling, especially for a Bride who must be looking her best at all times despite being on her feet all day! So with Blingbacks there’s a tiny rubber lip that creates a cushion between the heel and rim of the shoe. Made from super squidgy material, the lip is designed to hook over the back of the shoe and protect the heel… but retaining glamour at the same time!
