It’s been a wonderful few months filled with some out of the ordinary maps and requests. Amongst many wonderful ideas were a Cute Path version of a table plan, a wedding map inside the fascinating Eden Project biomes and a table plan full of pubs…

This week Cute Maps delivers its charming and detailed illustrated map of the city to the MK community and public beyond. This delightful representation of the sites and attractions of this contemporary town is sure to capture the attention of MKphiles and tourists alike. You can view and purchase them through the Cute Maps website http://www.cutemaps.co.uk/product-category/milton-keynes-shop/.

The cutting edge architecture of MK Theatre, Intu, Stadium MK & Oxley Park Eco Houses cutely sit amongst the treasured historical landmarks of Bletchley Park, Bradwell Abbey, Walton Hall & Great Linford Manor amongst many, many others.
Milton Keynes is Director Sheree’s home town. Sheree recently relocated back to MK where she felt inspired to create a detailed ‘Cute’ depiction of the visionary city. Milton Keynes is very close to Sheree’s heart and she has loved creating this map! The Milton Keynes ‘Cute Map’ marks Sheree’s first comprehensive map design of a town or city.
The Milton Keynes Cute Map is currently available as an A4 Mounted Print – great wall art for all MKphiles out there! And more practically as a cotton tea towel.

On the second Friday of January we swooshed off to the Wedding Ideas Awards for a night of glamour, dancing, and mingling with the best of the wedding industry. What a night. Champagne, a slow motion booth, ice sculpture giraffe luge, damn good DJs, and the hottest award winners and nominees in attendance. Hope you enjoy these fantastic photos from Thomas J Barnes Photography, www.thomasjbarnes.com.
The awards were held at the Tower hotel in London, a stunning location with a beautiful view of the river. The wedding ideas team were the most welcoming, gorgeous, glamorous hosts you could ask for and all the wedding industry scrubbed up impeccably well. Some unbelievable dresses being shown off.
The whole evening was so enjoyable. It’s not often you can have such a fun time with people you’ve just met; but everyone was so friendly and the fantastic music, food and entertainment definitely brought everyone together. Dancing along to cheesy tunes is a sure way to bond, right?
When we arrived we were greeted with champagne with ACTUAL gold in it! Served by the fittest waiters who had thankfully forgotten their shirts. The awards were presented by the amiable Francine Lewis who lead the way with laughter at her fantastic impressions. The awards then followed and congratulations to all the fabulous winners! Best stationer went to Sarah Wants and the special recognition award was also to a stationer! The talented Lucy Ledger, just showing how important those invitations are for your wedding. A full list of winners can be found here: http://www.weddingideasmag.com/the-wedding-ideas-awards-2014-winners-are-revealed/
