Bridesmaid Proposal Ideas

Whether you propose in person or by post, make it exciting and fun with plenty of sass. Be sure to include a corresponding piece of stationery with a creative proposal line.

Wedding Inspiration – Neon Signs

Neon Signs are very much trending for 2019 weddings and set to be around for a while!

Here’s some inspiration on how to make your wedding glow with the use of neon signs here, there and everywhere;

If using a neon sign for your ceremony, the ultimate place to display this would be at your altar. Attach your sign to a backdrop or hang from a floral arch. Either way it will be the 2nd main attraction of your ceremony (the 1st being the blushing bride of course).

Adding neon signs to your wedding decor will replace space invading easels and large rectangular signs.

Use colours that fit your theme, because there’s no need for an in your face fluorescent purple quote when your wedding style is all white or pastels.

Opt for bright white neon signs for a more subtle splash of light. But by all means go for the bright lights of Vegas if you’re wedding is full of bright colours or dark moody tones.

Be quirky with your words, because Mr & Mrs is a tad too obvious! Display your newly wed title for post ceremony signage, or a cool quote to get the party started. For example ‘drunk in love’ or ’till death do us party’.

Summer Wedding Cocktails

Because it’s nearly the weekend and I’ve got cocktails on my mind…here’s my signature cocktail advice for your summer wedding!

Leave your guests hash tagging ‘wedding goals’ by offering two signature cocktails on your special day – a ‘his’ and a ‘hers’.

Use ingredients that you both love and that you know your guests will be drooling over too.

Keep them relatively simple and budget friendly, so that you can serve them throughout your afternoon reception. Or push the boat out and offer these as an eye catching welcome drink.

Decoration is key, remember every element of your wedding needs to reflect both your personalities and style, no matter how big or small. Your summer cocktails need to look the part as well as tasting devine.

Think about colour, if you have a touch of colour/colours within your wedding style, then you can add this to your cocktails. Using a masculine and feminine colour will also add to the ‘his’ and ‘hers’ fun.

Decorate your summer cocktails with dried flowers, fruit or even herbs. Not only will this add flavour it will be the icing on the cake in terms of cocktail style.

Choose your glassware wisely, because this my dears is as important as the taste of your cocktails. Go with a delicate flute or martini glass for ‘hers’ and perhaps a short whisky tumbler for ‘his’.

Naming your cocktails is certainly where you can bring both your personalities to the table too. Choose something funny, quirky or that simply sounds pretty. Be sure to add a cute sign in the form of a menu, otherwise you’ll have guests pestering your catering staff!

Ladies I know how much you love a pornstar martini…but lets get creative and save the pornstars for your squad nights out!

Wedding Styling – Pampas Grass

Incase you haven’t already noticed, pampas grass showed it’s pretty face in the wedding styling world in 2018 and is getting bigger and better by the minute.

This towering grass is not only versatile, in that its neutral form allows it to work with any wedding style, but it will also save you a big chunk of your wedding budget by downsizing the typical array of peonies and roses.

I have been swooning over this rustic beauty that is pampas grass for many years, but am yet to work alongside a couple with the same amount of love for pampas grass as mine.

So I’m throwing my love for this cheap alternative to flowers out there, in the hope that my advice below, for incorporating pampas grass into your wedding styling, will woo a stylish couple into believing in this whimsical beauty.

Firstly, it doesn’t have to be boho! Secondly, it can very much be glam! There’s absolutely no need to be walking down the aisle barefoot with a flower crown, just so you can add pampas grass to your wedding decor.

You are very much mistaken if you can’t see past dreamcatchers, woven rugs and cushions replacing chairs. Imagine white and pale pink roses mixed with eucalyptus leaves and the pampas grass, delicate gold vases and votives, white marbled stationary and ghost chairs.

Here’s my wedding styling advice on adding pampas grass to your wedding

Something About Greenery

Greenery wedding decor is fast becoming popular and is set to be a huge trend for 2017 weddings. Not forgetting that it’s the Pantone colour of the year too!

The greenery vibes fit so many different styles, be it romantic, hip, boho, rustic, industrial, the list is endless.

The ultimate greenery style (in my eyes) is to add metallic’s, in the way of coppers and golds. This screams chic, and there is really no need to add any colours, other than splashes of white…easy!

Bring the lushness of the great outdoors inside your wedding venue, via table runners and chair decor. Being such a cheap decoration/flower you can afford to go big!

Foliage is the new flower! My faves consist of Baby Eucalyptus, Sword Fern, Leather Leaf and the big daddy of them all…Monstera Leaves! Monstera Leaves make fabulous place settings…Botanical Beauty at its best.

Dress simple table plans and wedding cakes with greenery, to create a rustic boho vibe. If you have a show stopping staircase at your venue you must must must dress this with plenty of foliage, take a look at the photo below if you need convincing more!

Wedding Stationery never looked so good as it did with a greenery design. Glam up your invites by adding some copper or gold foil…or simply add calligraphy for a romantic vibe.

When it comes to the bouquet my favourite look is a few large roses, in either white, ivory or pastel shades of peach or pink, with plenty of cascading foliage. Dare devil brides will skip the flowers completely and keep their bouquet purely green…uber pretty!

Styling tip – the more greenery the better! Don’t hold back as you may end up looking like a little foliage with not a lot of flower…in other words you’ll create an ‘unfinished look’.

Something in Verona – Anna & Thom’s Wedding

On the 27th July 2016, Anna and Thom got hitched in Verona, Italy, and this wedding was magnificent from start to finish!

They hired an incredible antique Manor House called Villa La Zambonina, situated in Vigasio, Verona. Here, they celebrated their marriage over three days of events, with their nearest and dearest.

Starting with a cocktail party two nights before their wedding – this took place in the grounds of Villa La Zambonina, with plenty of Aperol Spritz on tap!

The wedding day! Anna looked breathtakingly beautiful as expected, and Thom scrubbed up well too 😉 The day began with a short but sweet ceremony, with lots of giggles thanks to the translator. Followed by a drinks reception, and then my favourite part of the day….The Italian Feast!

Let me start by introducing Anna properly, then you will understand my excitement over this incredible feast we had. Anna Barnett, otherwise known as Anna Barnett Cooks, writes her own cookery books, food blogs for the likes of The Independent and hosts pop up restaurants and events. Her work is amazing, and the menu that Anna put together for their wedding was so so good. I keep dreaming/drooling about it!

After a truly amazing feast in the beautiful Italian Gardens, and not forgetting Thom’s great speech, which included a rendition of R Kelly’s ‘Bump N’ Grind’…amazing! We were then greeted with the largest cheese board I have ever seen, whilst the music was turned up a notch and everyone danced the night away.

Final day of the wedding celebrations – THE POOL PARTY!! Inflatable pizza slices and flamingos, magnums of Aperol, great music and once again the food was insane. Caterers provided slice after magnificent slice of fresh pizza…cooked in front of us, by the pool, in a pizza oven.

Anna and Thom I wish you a lifetime of happiness…and thank you for letting me be a part of your special day xxx

Festival Vibes

Festival Vibes – Themed Wedding Inspiration

I’ve attended many a festival since my early 20’s, and I think 2016 is the first year I haven’t/won’t be attending a festival…boo hoo. So I’ve decided to blog about a festival themed wedding instead…

This one’s for all you festival goers…eat sleep rave repeat!

Tipi’s are the ultimate festival wedding venue. Make sure you fill them with fairy lights and line pathways with lanterns for an enchanted vibe once the sun goes down. No matter what size your wedding is, a Tipi is still the answer, as they link Tipi’s to one another to create a larger space. This means you’ll have plenty of cosy corners that you can turn into chill out areas…bean bags, shishas, Moroccan lanterns and rugs…actually don’t make them too great, you’ll never get your guests on that dance floor!!!

Let’s start with wedding stationery. Just think lanyards, wristbands and programs, in bright hippy colours, or go for rustic boho vibes. A lanyard style wedding invite is fantastic. You can produce lots of laminated cards hanging from the lanyard, with all the relevant information regarding your wedding.

There’s no time for a three course meal at a festival. So why not offer a relaxed way of eating, and of course alfresco (weather permitting), by hiring some quirky food stations/vans. For example a fish and chips van, outdoor pizza oven station, ice cream van, hog roast, the list is endless.

Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is a name that can be given to any herbal item promoted as healing buying cialis in australia impotence. This this may deep really quite non-traditional, however in accordance with Mentor Arnold Ehret, such method includes recently online pharmacy cialis been accustomed successfully into encouraging a good number of great intoxicating to give up extreme drinking. The ligament is cut so the penis becomes buy cialis in australia stiffer and more elongated. It works by relaxing and rising sildenafil no prescription the blood vessels in the lungs, which lowers the pressure of the flow increases and with this enhanced force the blood stream starts to hit heart to cause various cardiac disorders and a sudden heart failure. Forget waiter service and bars for your festival drinks reception. Create self-service stations, like a pimp your Prosecco bar or beer barrows. You could even pre-mix your very own signature cocktails, and serve them from large tapped drink dispensers. Keep costs down on glassware, and give everyone their very own glass for the day with a name tag…refill heaven!

You are never short of entertainment at a festival! You could go a bit circus with this and have fire performers and stilt artists. Or go all fairground with some outdoor games like welly throwing and a coconut shy. Live music is a must! But you can of course incorporate a DJ, recommended if you want to rave until the early hours. After all you’re in the middle of field…and festivals never sleep!

Go for a laid back vibe when it comes to your attire. Brides think Boho, my favourite look by far! Think simple lace dresses and loose hair with flowers and plaits. No festival is complete without wellies, provide them for your guests also. There’s your wedding favours sorted!
