My inner magpie is extremely excited to share WWW readers Nathalie and Simon's December wedding day today.

Think winter wonderland, glamour, white, silver and sequins and you are almost there.

Nathalie and Simon wanted a wedding filled with loved ones and a lot of sparkles and fur. They had the most beautifully decorated village hall reception, with brilliant lighting and pretty blooms.

Nathalie looked beautiful in her Mori Lee dress and fur shrug, oh and she wore the most amazing pair of glitter Christian Louboutin's. The bridesmaids looked super glam in silver sequin dresses, clutching delicate Gypsophila bouquets.

Thanks so much to Ali Lovegrove for sharing her lovely photographs with us.

The Proposal... On November 7 ^th 2012 Simon lovingly proposed...picture the scene, there I was in my pj's, sat on the sofa working on my blackberry and watching Hollyoaks when Simon (after cooking dinner - standard and drinking an entire bottle of red wine to himself) slid down the sofa and popped the question. As he was doing it I questioned what the hell he was doing and why he was getting in the way of the TV - not the most romantic but very 'us' Apparently he had had the ring for 4 weeks and all my family knew it was going to happen but every time he planned to do it, it felt too forced and I might guess or I'd annoyed him so didn't 'deserve' it ha! So in the end he decided to do it in the way that was most us - on the sofa as normal on a Thursday night!

I had a beautiful sparkly headband and I had the Kate Spade 'Bridal' bangle. Simon bought me a Tiffany Infinity bracelet & a gorgeous pair of Rochas Silver-tone Swarovski crystal earrings.

Music wise we has a top Frank Sinatra tribute - Jay Oxenham who sang 2 sets and really got the hall swinging! He had everyone up dancing at 6:30 pm and from that minute on it was packed...and stayed packed!

Your Photographer... We found Ali's details after seeing some of her work on a wedding blog and so immediately got in touch. It was clear from day 1 she was a girl after my own heart as she had amazing glittery nails when we met! Picking her was a no brainer and both Simon and I couldn't have been more excited when we saw her pictures.

I also won a competition to have a videographer so it meant we really would have our entire day captured and we can re live it over and over again!

Food wise our caterers helped make our dream menu of: Toad in the whole, cottage pie & braised red cabbage all served in platters on the tables so people could help themselves 'family style' for desert we then finished off with a festive chocolate orange cheese cake and copious amount of red wine & prosecco (thanks to a Calais trip earlier in the year!)

The Honeymoon... After the wedding we spent a couple of days in the Peal District to unwind, eat cheese, drink wine reminisce and get ready for Christmas! But the main holiday will be April 29 ^th we fly off to Vegas, followed by a week in Hawaii and a few days in New York!

When my mother & 3 of my bridesmaids all swapped clothes in the toilets for a video guest book entry but then came swanning out onto the dance floor - the site of my mum running around in sequins whilst my best friend wore her turquoise 2 piece and swigged from a bottle of prosecco still cracks me up now! At the end of the night Simon grabbing hold of the microphone and doing a stint of Kareoke stood on the table to serenade those of us who were still partying away into the small hours!
