The Boho Bride Readers Feedback

Hello Lovelies,

I am sorry there’s been such an absence. Those who follow me on Twitter or Instagram might know that our little boy has been poorly and unfortunately so has my Dad as he continues to bravely battle cancer – but – I am pleased to say Dylan is better and Dad is getting back on form so I’ve been able to steal some time to go through all the wonderful feedback I’ve had in regards to the blog.

To those who took the time to get in touch, thank you. I think I’ve replied to everyone – but if I’ve failed to respond to you, let me know as sometimes emails go to my bulk folder by mistake. I really appreciate all your input and support.

Sadly I can’t take everything on board {It’s just me – at the moment – working on Boho Bride & I don’t have enough time to organise a forum or weekly competitions etc…yet} but will do what I can to tweak the bits of Boho Bride that might not work quite so well in order to help you enjoy the blog even more – so here’s what’s I’ve {well you’ve actually} come up with…

♥ Less ‘real weddings’ but more home grown ones! I had wondered if I’d started to gravitate from my original mantra, to feature real weddings every few days and stick more to inspiration and ideas – and it seems my hunch was right. There are other blogs featuring real weddings so beautifully and it seems crazy that we sometimes show the same ones; so my aim is to do a lot of sourcing myself and make sure there are plenty of UK ones in the mix {though I adore some of the styling from across the pond, so there’s always going to be a few from our friends in the US, Oz and beyond!}

♥ Better catagorizing. Yup, I’m pretty slack at that. Must.Do.Better. I aim to make them more user-friendly, so you can search for more keyword specific styles i.e. Vintage, Boho, Shabby chic…

♥ More mood boards. This used to be my ‘thing’ and I really appreciate how many of you enjoy them – so I’ll try to create one per week. If anyone has an specific themes they’d like me to try, let me know!

♥ A weekly round-up of the wedding world. Some also asked if I’d do a kind of “things I like” post, so I thought I’d merge the two…featuring wedding love & links to other blogs/sites and their fab features as well as maybe a few fashion/beauty finds etc that I’ve found myself coveting.

♥ Personal posts. I am chuffed to bits so many readers of the blog enjoy the personal side of it – but I’m still struggling to think of how to approach them now I’m married. Would you like a guest bride-to-be blogger? Or just general musings from me?

Well, that’s really all the amendments I thought I could implement at this time – but please keep the lines of communication open as I love to hear from you. There’s plenty of pretty to follow next week!

Here’s to a sweet Thursday,

With Love,

Sarah, Boho Bride xx

 

Back to Blogging!

Happy Monday All!

I’m not sure how many of you will be reading this due to my near three month absence, but my analytics tell me I’ve retained some incredible daily readership numbers on the blog, so thank you so very much for dropping by and showing such support. It’s good to be back.

Our little one is now a whole two months old and doing well, so it seemed an appropriate time to start posting again…though I might not be able to update every day for the first few weeks; I still find it an achievement to be out of my pj’s some days!

You may have noticed some of the static pages missing on Boho Bride – they will be back in situ in a few days but I’m updating some of the info…and with that in mind I welcome any feedback from my readers as now is the perfect time to tweak!

Is there anything in particular you’d like to see more of on the blog?

Would you prefer regular features i.e. a mood board every Monday, some Friday link love etc or should I keep things more relaxed?

Let me know by commenting below or email me at sarah@bohobride.co.uk

Introducing Baby Dylan

Apologies for the silence – this post is a long time coming. I am proud to announce that on Sunday 15^th April our darling boy Dylan George was born – thirteen fashionable days late he weighed a whopping 8lb 11oz!

It was a difficult labour; 30 hours in total and both Dylan and I came away nursing some war wounds and it’s because of these that I’ve not managed to update the blog until now. Our little man is perfectly healthy and has recovered well and I am also well on my way to being back to my normal self, though an exhausted version!

The last four weeks or so have passed in a blissful haze of baby-ness – though must admit that it has not only been the most rewarding few weeks of my life, it’s been the most challenging too; parenthood is ruddy hard work. On that note I hope you can understand why I’m asking you to bear with me a little longer…the blogging cogs are turning and Boho Bride will be resuming service soon, but I just need a little longer to get on top of things once more.

I hope you understand and thank you so much for your continued support.

With lots of love,

Sarah, Adam and Dylan xxx

Sorry for the Silence…Taking a Baby Break!

Hello All,

I just wanted to check in and apologise for the lack of blogging since last week – some of you might know that I’m due to give birth soon (well, my due date has been and gone actually!) and I’ve decided to take a couple weeks off in order to bed down and make the most of this special time. I’ll of course let you know when baby does make an appearance and as soon as I’ve got my head around being ‘Mummy’ I’ll be back posting pretty with vengeance!

Thank you all so much for your continued support – Boho Bride will be resuming normal services very soon!

With Love,

Sarah, Boho Bride xx
