Hope you enjoyed this video! I will add the time stamps and links for you shortly!

[@susiemartin3144]

Loved it all Madeleine even though I’ve just celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary! It’s all still so relevant you never feel any older than when you’re about 30 anyway. I think that’s when you know who you are and you just move forward and live your life! It’s exciting to have it all before you, I’d do it all again in a heartbeat! Never take it for granted though, you’re doing so well with a lovely job and a lovely home and that lovely man of yours!! Wishing you loads of good vibes and love and so, so well done for all the work you both put in!! 😘😘

[@sophieodenthal1521]

Just an idea for your patio sofa conundrum - we've got the same and found that creating a border via pots / raised bed worked really well on that "L" side you described where you would have your back to the garden if you were sitting on the sofa. softens the view a bit and also prevents people from falling off, especially children who are still prone to climbing sofas and then falling off the back of them!

[@sue1859]

Agree, my first thought was that kids would climb onto the sofa and go off the back.

[@emmajanusky3707]

LOVE this long video so much maddie!! i also love your way of looking at healthy eating and weight loss for you - it's such a refreshing perspective and so lovely to hear someone talk about it with the frame of mind of "what's best for me and my own body". so happy for you and your progress on finding that peace :)) ❤

[@MadeleineOlivia]

aww this makes me so happy! I have come a long way that’s for sure and genuinely feeling so much better about myself and have definitely been finding that peace since hitting 30!

well I’m now loving your wedding content as I recently got engaged and have no idea where to really start. I also just wanted to say thank you for acknowledging that musicians at weddings may sometimes know best in terms of when to play certain songs etc. I’m a singer and have performed at many weddings over the years (resting before one tomorrow haha) and sometimes it’s very frustrating to have so many notes and specific timings for specific songs from brides and grooms. I want to mention that of course, as a band who are professional, we will always do what is suiting the mood of your day and go above and beyond to make sure the party and of course bride and groom are happy, dancing, laughing and enjoying themselves. I just wanted to thank you for acknowledging that we are the professionals and will help guide you guys in the best way we can, alongside providing you loads of fun! happy upcoming wedding! X

[@megananderson841]

I wonder of the book is from the U.S. It is common here to send a "save the date" notice about 6-7 months before the wedding. It only says the date and city. The formal invite is usually sent about 2-3 months prior, which has all the details on venue, time, meals etc.

[@glynnL]

There was a 90s children’s health ad that was advocating for being yourself/being happy with yourself. It had two girls going into a boutique that was showed them how to change all these things about themselves, looks, personality, and a voice was saying “why be you when you can be me?” The girls ran out giggling and were mocking the tag line. I guess it was a good ad, because it’s stuck with me all these years.

[@HeyItsBonnieBee]

SO excited for more wedding content!!

[@marionandrews176]

Your haircare routine is very good. We ladies with ethnic hair have been pre-pooing (treating hair before washing) for awhile. It really protects your hair from potential damage during washing.

[@annaviola3392]

The garden will be amazing. Yes I agree with you, the wider the steps, the more connected you’ll feel to the rest of the garden.

[@susiemartin3144]

Ps. You could put glass panels round the seating corner end of your decking where the drop is! could give it shelter from wind for your fire pit on cooler days too xx

[@emmaandrews9222]

You are my inspiration. My go to girl for all life’s organic harmonious living. I like to think I have a bit of Maddie in me….from Vegan food to country walks and home DIY. Keep them coming please 😍

Thank you for this video. I've been emotionally eating for the last 5 months because of the war in my country. And I cannot stop gaining weight( Also I want to thank your country for supporting Ukraine sooo much and accepting our refugees💖

A real pleasure to follow your wedding step by step preparation. I'm sure you'll be gorgeous on that day. And I also like the way you interact with your dayly diet. That is important for everyone to follow. Thanks for sharing all the enthusiasm that such an event like a wedding requires. Following all the way to the top of the

Just Nutritive products are AMAZING for hair oils - just natural, incredible ingredients entirely from nature and I think the results are soft, moisturized hair and amazing hair strength

Love your self care and skin/hair care videos Maddie! You’re looking gorgeous 💗

[@victoriaflynn6506]

I bought my shoes for 10e and the dress maker covered them in the same lace as my dress. I've worn them loads over the years for special occasions. Will wear them for my daughter's wedding soon. I handmade my bouquet with silk flowers and all the jewelry handed down to me from my grandmother, mother, special friends. My idea was I will add to it....now my daughter will add and she will use it. Its wrapped in brown silk....my daughter will change that to suit her colour team which is peach.

[@ShakespearesLanguage]

If this helps your confusion - it might be that people send a Save the Date 6 months or more before and then actual invitations 2 months before - I see this done more in the states!

[@itsmehaley2]

I love the VERB Ghost Oil and have similar hair☺️

[@yasminnarcizo7182]

[@helenroberts1455]

I had some plain cream/white shoes and then my wedding dress seamstress added some of the detailed lace that was from the dress and beads to make them unique …

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Amazing!

[@hattiea]

Hi Maddie, always a pleasure to watch your videos! With regards to hair oils, I shop in Boots in the UK and use Umberto Giannini Banana hair oil which believe as a brand is vegan. I also use the cantu shea butter tea tree and jojoba hair and scalp oil (not sure if this is vegan). I also love lush for their hair line and they do a scalp treatment and I find it amazing! You have to make sure your hair is damp though! I find manes by mell a useful KZbinr to follow and she always recommends using the products how they say they should be used for maximum results. Thank you for this video! 🙏

Hello Madeleine, do you know the vegan shoe brand Minuit sur Terre ? There are no technically a wedding shoe brand but they do all types of shoes. There are ethically made in Portugal with Italian fabric from recycled cereals and plastic bottle from the oceans. The leather is made with apple or grape skin. They even have their own second hand platform, Aurore sur Terre.

[@kellyreadingbooks]

Loved this video! And really needing more high protein ideas.

[@marigalera5285]

Hi, I’m getting married next year and already wedding prepping, loving this video 👏🏻👏🏻 by the way the best protein powder from the brand Form is the unflavoured one, it goes with everything, doesn’t change flavour of things. I recently decided to give it a try and it has been a game changing for me. 👌

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Maddie we enjoyed your video. The L shaped bench that you want to put on your deck could have lids on it and you can put the cushions inside the bench. Thank you for sharing❤

[@thindarella]

I can highly recommend the Hair oil from By Sarah London or the Nature's Hair Miracle Oil from Apivita 💚

[@Elisha-dy7zg]

Yes to what I eat in a week meal plan video 👏

[@kimieg9436]

About the patio, you could have a railing put in where it begins to drop off to keep anyone from falling off. That might make it seem more like a deck on one part of it though

[@frecklesforties]

Lovely vlog and such a beautiful house. I think I need to eat more protein too I've put on so much weight and feel awful. I dont know if you're aware but some flower bulbs are highly toxic to dogs, daffodils, hyacinths and tulips are some of them. (You may know this if so sorry) just a heads up to keep bulbs out of the way xx

[@kylieharrison3782]

Definitely u shaped sofa. Maybe with wwearher proof lids and boxes so that you can use it for storage ie outdoor mattresses, cushions, eskies...

[@Rinaa11214]

Found this so relaxing!

[@amxranthine]

I think for the built in seating it should be on all 3 sides! With a table or fire in the middle it would be wonderful for entertaining guests

[@Probablytracy]

Any tips on easily getting in more protein besides powder? Also I wore navy blue heels under my dress… as my something blue! 💙

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Ooooh i love this idea thank you for suggesting! Will look for some blue shoes too! And I just made a high protein video on my channel - just a few videos back :)

On the subject of shoes, I bought brown sandals from Etsy that I wear to this day 9 years on! No one saw them and I was so comfortable all day.

[@aeolia80]

Oh man, it was 38C here today in the Paris region and it's supposed to be 40C tomorrow, this is the time where it's frustrating that aircon is not standard in most homes in Europe, lol. I mean I understand in a lot of the older stone homes it's not necessary, but our apartment faces south, great in winter horrible in summer, and for the most part it does stay cooler inside but only by like 3 degrees maybe, but there's no freshness to the air when you have to close it off like that. Today I literally filled my bath with cold water and just sat in it for almost 2 hours, lol, got a lot of reading done though, lol

[@juliamoreno3219]

A recommendation for a great hair oil would be olive, avocado or coconut plus some essential oils if you'd like. You don't have to buy a special hair oil, you can just go into your pantry. I thought you would know that lol

[@MadeleineOlivia]

I generally find olive and coconut oil too heavy for my hair type. I’ve never bought avocado oil! I find the ones prepared specifically for hair and scalp work best for me after a few trial and error!

[@alyssabennettsmith39]

Is your wedding planner from the US? My sister is using a similar one and it also told her to send invites 2 months before the day, but the Save the Date cards went out months before, so everyone already had the basic information (the invites just have more details about location and accommodations.)

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Yeah maybe this is a US thing because here we sent our invites out in may? And this is quite normal here!

[@nualakirk9857]

Don't know if this helps, but when my niece got married she wore white trainers, with ribbons for laces, so was comfortable and not too tall!!!!!!

[@karin9373]

So lovely to watch. Thank you. But can’t believe you are having a hot bath! It really must be cooler down your way because I am in London and a hot bath sounds like torture today 😂 re the hair oil I am using a little vial I buy at Waitrose…Hask, made with argon oil, repairing hair oil. I use a few drops every morning and my hair which is long anyway is growing like crazy and it makes it shiny and smooth. I am getting so many compliments and questions about my hair and what I am using but this is the only thing. It might not be vegan, I haven’t checked. Lots of love ❤️

If you’ll ever have little kids visiting (or your own children) the built in seat at the high point of the patio area will be dangerous. It’ll provide an easy way for the kids to climb up-and then possibly fall off.

[@amandarea20]

[@cathrinagroiss604]

Me thinks your Provence vacay impacted you strongly, with lavender on your mind even as a spiller (which it is not) and planted in a deeply shaded side 'planter's, which will not work well. Go for real spillers which may trail DOWN or sideways rather than up, and choose plants that ill.thrive in the shade oh this lovely 'hedge'. Leave the sun loving plants, to the sunnier spots, and you'll enjoy them more (rather than be frustrated that a Mediterranean plant doesn't thrive in a British coastal shady hedge...). May you grow and thrive as a gardener and person

It’s not about it being hot relative to other places but it’s hot for that area, and houses and infrastructure are not made for the heat. That causes fires, roads buckling, etc.
