Lily Allen, who is set to wed fiance Sam Cooper on June 11, has been tweeting away about her recent hen party "I am on my hen, having a cooking lesson with a very special teacher". A bit later she revealed that it was "Gordon Ramsay, and he was brilliant.  Had no idea, I am a very very lucky girl x x".

We thought this was such a great idea for a hen party (although not many of us would have access to Gordon Ramsey or his restaurant in London's exclusive Claridges hotel) but we were also relieved to hear that Lily and pals went on to do the usual hen-like activity..

Just wanted to let you know about these guys...!  Sam and Emily have seen them in action and we think they would be a fantastic booking for your wedding.  In their own words they describe themselves as "a dash of Ska, a pinch of Country and a double shot of Rock 'n' Roll".  We are going to see them perform soon so we'll report back more and include some sounds next time!

Whilst we have been visiting all the recent wedding fairs we have frequently come across the glamorous and vintage-inspired Emmy Shoes, and have always thought how beautiful and original they looked.  Created by innovative designer Emmy Scartefield, brides can choose from a 50's point to a 40's peep toe, and can pick a from a wide array of fabrics and stunning detailing such as a jewelled butterfly, a delicate feather or intricate beading.
