Welcome, Darling Lovely readers to the first of what we hope to be many posts on our brand new blog, Darling Lovely Life.

Some of you already know us, we’re the team behind Under the Vintage Veil wedding blog. After two and a half AMAZING years at the helm of Under the Vintage Veil, we made the bold and exciting move of taking all of our wedding content with us and starting a fresh new adventure under a new name.

We love weddings, and we’ll still be covering them, but we both felt we had way too much to show and tell to limit ourselves to one category of this Darling Lovely Life we live! We’ll be writing about love, life, travel, shopping, interiors, weddings and celebrations, hair, beauty, style, baking and crafting, DIY and so much more!

We’ll be starting with one post a day and adding content as the site grows with us. You can read our manifesto and all about us here, but for those of you who haven’t come across us before, here’s who we are (and what we do):

Sara – editor and owner of Darling Lovely Life

Sara is the editor and owner of Darling Lovely Life. When she’s not blogging, she’s busy with freelance PR and journalism work, and her many creative hobbies which include (but are not limited to): photography, singing & songwriting, baking, crafting and knitting, creative writing and looking after her many pets!

John – IT, web and advertising manager

John is our self-billed geek in residence. An IT manager by day, John provides tech and business development support to Darling Lovely Life in his spare time.

How can you get involved?

If you like what you see so far and you want to be involved with Darling Lovely Life, there are several ways to grace our pastel-pretty pages!

The first is to send us a DIY, crafting or baking tutorial. Send your idea over to [email protected] and we’ll send you our guidelines for creating a Darling Lovely Life tutorial.

The second is to send us pretty pictures of your home. If it fits with the blog we’ll either ask you to take more or send one of our lovely partner photographers round to capture the loveliness.

If you know anyone who lives a Darling Lovely Life, doing what they love and being excellent at it, we’d love to interview them. Nominate someone amazing for our “The Darling Lovely Life of” feature, which will start soon.

And finally, if you like any of our features and think you have something fabulous to say that could fit in, we’re always happy to hear your ideas.

We can’t wait to get to know you all and for you to be a part of this new adventure!
