Weekly Love: the one where my best friend got married to her best friend!

1. Grabbing a selfie with the bride in between courses at the wedding breakfast! | 2. Having a pre-wedding slumber party in the simply stunning bridal suite at Chandos House – just look at that incredible wallpaper! | 3. Decorating the cakes for day 2 of the wedding with fresh flowers we picked up at New Covent Garden Flower Market. | 4. The bridal party all together in hair and makeup, enjoy a cheeky few glasses of prosecco – picture by the amazing Mint Memories! | 5. Leftover wedding flowers brightening up my workspace. | 6. A British- Pakistani home cooked feast of spiced chicken, vegetable biriyani, salad vegetables, green chilli chutney, spiced potatoes and chaat. Such an incredible meal!
