You may recall that a few weeks ago, I spent a rather cold Saturday with Jen, her fabulous Weddington boots and Sadie the most beautiful white horse. We had so much fun, capturing the images to show off the Fabulous Weddington boots and here you read more about these lovely wellies. Rather excitingly these images and more info about Weddington Boots will be featuring in April’s Perfect Wedding Magazine.
What was the inspiration for Weddington Boots?
After another wet summer, a good friend had complained that she was having a hard time locating suitable wellies for her wedding. After searching on the net and finding only plain white abattoir wellies, I decided to design a pretty, pearlescent wedding wellie that would look fabulous in her wedding pictures, customisable to her colour scheme and could be used as practical wellies after the wedding.
What makes your Boots so special?
Ladies, it’s time to rejoice. The days of muddy sling backs and ruined stilettos are over! Your feet are guaranteed to look fabulous on your special day – whatever the weather – when you slip into a brand-new pair of Weddington Boots.
They add a unique touch to your wedding day attire and photo album, whilst keeping your tootsies comfy and cosy at all times.
Designed with a funky cowgirl cut, the boots look equally adorable worn with jeans as they do under your wedding dress.
What is important to you at Weddington Boots?
We don’t want the English weather to spoil your special day. Our wedding wellies will make sure your feet stay warm, dry and most importantly, looking gorgeous – no more ruined shoes or stuck-in-the-mud heels!
Why would I need Weddington boots?
As the Scouts say “Be prepared!” – if there is one item your Maid of Honour should carry for the bride, when planning for unpredictable events, it’s her wedding wellies. Is your maid of honour prepared for absolutely everything?
Where does the inspiration for the design of Weddington boots come from?
I wanted to design a boot that was practical yet stylish; fun but won’t upstage the dress.
And because you’ll want to wear your boots with more than just your wedding dress, you can customise them to match your favourite outfits by changing the removable satin ribbon and replace with any colour or pattern.
Can you do bespoke designs?
Weddington Boots can be customised to match any outfit you like with its changeable satin ribbon.
You can personalise your wellies by having your new married name or a fun message designed on the side of your boots in dazzling diamontes. Visit the website for further information.
What sizes do your boots come in?
Weddington Boots are available in ladies size 3 through to size 9. Children’s sizes are under consideration – so please share your thoughts and ideas with us.
Do they fit all size calves as I can’t always find knee high boots on the high street to fit me?
Our cowgirl cut ensures the boots will fit legs of all shapes and sizes. We have a complete size chart available on the website.
How long before my wedding should I look to buy my Weddington Boots?
Come snow, rain or shine – if there’s been recent wet weather, the ground outside will be soft and muddy, resulting in stuck-in-the-mud heels! Weddington Boots protect your feet from the perils of British weather on your wedding day, but can also be enjoyed on your hen night, festivals, even out walking the dog! As you can use them time and time again, then you can pick up a pair anytime, all year round.
Where can I see some of your boots?
Our boots can be seen on the Weddington Boots website, and soon to be the High Street, as bridal shops sign up as stockists.
How much do Weddington Boots cost?
Wedding Boots cost £35 and can be purchased from our website and selected bridal shops. However, we have some ‘Unique’ pairs, which are available for £19.99, whilst stock last.
Do you have a returns policy if I order the wrong size or they don’t fit?
We certainly do. Full details are on the website, however, wrong sizes can be exchanged and boots can be returned for a full refund within 7 working days after receiving them, if you change your mind.
What are Weddington Boots made off?
Features of Weddington Boots are hand manufactured, so no two pairs are the same. Made from high quality rubber and covered in a pearly coating they are waterproof wellies with a pink soft cotton lining and EVA insole for added comfort.
How can I get in touch with Weddington Boots?
You can contact us at Weddingtons Boot through our ‘contact us’ form on our website or give us a call. We always love to hear from our customers and to see your piccies too!
Do you deliver throughout the UK? And overseas?
Yes, we will courier boots anywhere in the UK for only £5.

I had a fabulous time on Saturday, with Jen, her fabulous Weddington Boots, (shortly to be featured in an interview on the blog) and Sadie, the most fabulous and patient horse I know.
We were capturing images for the forth coming Weddington Boots interview in it’s a Perfect Wedding Magazine (See April’s Edition). We got to play out in the mud, with a wedding dress and a horse!!
Anyway here is a sneak peek of our session:

I love family photographs, and that’s probably not surprising given my occupation. This love of photographs means I like to have them all around me in my home, and I like to have lots of them. However this means that surface space in my home can get limited and then I have to pfaff around changing them in frames when I want to up date them. Or have so many out that dusting becomes a nightmare! Then there is always the question of how to store those images that have been taken out of the frame, somewhere safe, as they were special enough to be in frame they need to be cherished, and a random shoe box is probably not the best or safest place for them.
I have therefore spent a long time looking for a solution, not only for me, but one that I can also offer to my clients.
With much excitement and fanfare, (hear those trumpets) today I am launching my signature portrait box. This beautiful box, is personalised with up to 3 images, comes with a padded lid, and can hold safely, forever, up to 20 of your images. Mounted and ready for display, your images can live in the box and then when you want to change an image, open it up take out the one you want, pop away the one you had out and bingo, a fresh new look is as easy as that. In the meantime the box looks super fabulous on your book shelf or coffee table and means you can still show off your other fabulous images whenever you like.
How to display those images? Don’t panic this has been taken care of too. The signature portrait box comes with a beautiful wooden easel so your mounted images are displayed simply and will fit into any style of home.
Using my new blog templates again here is the fabulous signature portrait box.
I had a little help taking these, Lily wanted to see what I was doing, and got between me and portrait box to look down the lens. Boy, she is getting more and more nosey all the time.

This weeks interview is with The Wedding Community, a wedding resource, somewhere to go to get ideas, share thoughts, get advice and resources and so much more.
To find out why you should join read on.
What is The Wedding Community?
The Wedding Community is an exciting new wedding planning website which is the source of inspiration, support and knowledge for engaged couples and their bridal party. It provides a social networking platform for all members of the bridal party to connect, share ideas and plan the wedding day together. Wherever you are in the world, you’ll be able to feel part of the big day. The Wedding Community also has a team of experts from different areas within the wedding industry who provide regular articles for the website.
How did The Wedding Community come about?
We (David and Kim Herbing) got married in June 2007. When we were planning out wedding, there was not really one website that provided us with everything we needed to plan our day, so we decided to create The Wedding Community as the ‘one stop’ wedding website to use to get inspiration and advice, find suppliers and plan the perfect wedding.
What can I expect to find on The Wedding Community?
The Wedding Community provides:
Social Community
Expert Advice
Individual Wedding Website with RSVP Function
Planning Tools
Supplier Directory
Discussion Groups
Members of The Wedding Community have access to planning tools such as a budget planner, table planner, guest list, calendar, scrapbook (where they can save supplier details, articles of interest, pictures and videos), and the bride and groom can even create their own wedding website for their guests to visit. Experts from all fields within the wedding industry provide regular articles for the site to keep the content fresh and current. The experts are at the forefront of all things wedding, from photography to jewellery, speeches to cakes. These unique articles will show The Wedding Community members what’s hot and what’s not and give them all the knowledge and inspiration to create a day that’s unique to them. Members can use the supplier directory to find everything they need for their wedding, from DJs to dresses, favours to hen & stag parties. The venue search also provides members with an easy to read table for each venue to show the facilities they offer.
Why are you different to other wedding information websites?
The Wedding Community has a team of some of the UK’s leading wedding industry experts who provide regular articles for the site, meaning the advice and ideas are always current and different from other sites. With the social networking aspect, this allows couples to connect with their bridal party so they can share ideas and plan the day together, which is helpful especially if you have bridal party members or even guests located in different areas.
Can anyone join or do I need to be planning a wedding?
The great thing about The Wedding Community is that anyone who is planning a wedding, part of a bridal party, attending a wedding or even those who just love weddings can be part of The Wedding Community.
Will I get lots of spam from other vendors or yourselves if I sign up and do you send my details onto wedding vendors?
Members of The Wedding Community are free to contact as many suppliers and venues as they like, rather than our suppliers contacting our members. Our suppliers are able to post promotional comments in our discussions forums but only in the ‘Wanted’ section. When our members register they also have the opportunity to decide whether or not they would like to receive our monthly email newsletter and if they wish for their details to be passed onto third parties.
Does it cost me anything to become a member of the Wedding Community?
The Wedding Community is a completely FREE to all our members, with the exception of wedding businesses and services who wish to advertise on the website.
What is your web address?
www.theweddingcommunity.com
There are some great conversations and ideas in The Wedding Community so pop on over and have a look.
