Bridesmaid Proposal Ideas

Your bridesmaids are your day ones, the team that have stood by you through thick and thin, fixed your previous broken hearts before you met the man of your dreams. So they deserve nothing less than an exciting proposal too!

Lets not forget that your bridal squad will be the ones you rely on for the mother of all hen parties. They will also be your personal assistants whilst wedding dress shopping, and you will rely on them an enormously pre and during your wedding day.

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.

Select an idea and personalise it to each member of your bride tribe. Personalise with names, initials, nicknames, photos or memories.

If you’ve got a bridesmaid who ends up looking like Bambi on ice on a night out, remind her of that! Make them funny and personal – you all want to be laughing alongside the happy tears when popping the question!!

Or maybe you’ve selected family members alongside friends to be your bridesmaids, with totally different personalities? Then choose individual proposals to suit each member. Some may prefer a magnum of rose over a macaron!

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

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!

Something About Place Settings

I’m a big fan of place settings, and you should be too! After all, your guests spend a good chunk of your wedding day sat at their allocated place, so why wouldn’t you make it as pretty as can be?

Give your guests something to talk about other than your delicious wedding food…or perhaps distract them from the not so great food (really hope that doesn’t actually apply to anyone out there)

Place Settings

When I say place settings I’m referring to the place cards, linen, cutlery and placemats. Centre pieces, favours and table numbers are a whole other wedding matter, which I’ll blog about another day…and at the rate my blogs are posted we’re probably talking 2018!?

Napkins/serviettes whatever you like to call them, are often neglected. It’s so easy to incorporate these with your place cards…you can make your place cards place tags and have the ribbon/twine of the place tags tied around the napkin. Or turn your napkins into pockets to hold your menus, or perhaps a personalised note to your guest (I’ll discuss personalised touches some more shortly). You can even print onto napkins and save on your extra stationery! My personal fave is to have a thank you to your guests printed onto a napkin, and have this trailing over the edge of the table…so pretty!

Place cards – try to keep these in line with your wedding colours/theme. Make sure these can be easily seen by your guests, otherwise you might end up with an awkward seating arrangement. It probably took you countless hours and a few lovers tiffs arranging that table plan, so don’t go and ruin it by blocking place cards with a candle holder!

leaf place card place settings

Placemats – not always needed, however if you’re the creative type then give these some thought. You can really add to your theme with these! For example if you’re having a glam chic wedding you can never go wrong with metallic, or beaded charger plates. Or if you’re having a rustic wedding then slate placemats would look fab. Or go a creative step further with log placemats!
Many men want to have a good sexual life and can make erections which are firm enough. viagra canada overnight is a product which comes with a sure shot guarantee that it would definitely show a person the best results and one would get over erectile dysfunction very soon. There buy uk viagra are two types of penile prosthesis available for treating male erectile problems, but for a few hours only. These all medicines come under the category of purchase viagra in australia must -see films. However there also has to be action in the form of knowing thyself and performing robertrobb.com online levitra tablet what were once sacred and guarded asanas/exercises.

Cutlery doesn’t have to be boring, and don’t be afraid to ask your caterer about hiring something you’ve seen, if you’re not keen on what they have to offer! Go for gold or rose gold if it ties in with your theme. If your tables are feeling cluttered, have the cutlery sit within your napkin. Or if you’re having place tags then you can tie these around your cutlery, and position them in the centre of your placemat.

Now lets talk personalisation. Take time to make your guests feel loved! Let them know what they mean to you by adding personal messages to their place settings, whether it be in the form of a thank you note, or even a quote or saying that they would relate to. It doesn’t have to be a “pass me the sick bucket” type of note, it can be funny too…however you do it, trust me, they’ll notice and appreciate!

Something at Hedsor House

On the 28th December 2015, Ben & Sabrina celebrated their wedding at the stunning Hedsor House.

Ben & Sabrina hired me for my ‘Something Partial’ Package…however (and I’m sure they would agree) this became more like my ‘Something Last Minute‘ package! With only 3 months to plan,  not forgetting that Ben & Sabrina lived 3500 miles away in Toronto, Canada, we had a big task on our hands….oh & Christmas showed it’s big red face during this time too! But as you can see from the photos the final outcome was an incredible wedding at Hedsor House.

The theme was a hint of Gatsby Glam in a romantic Wintry setting. Sabrina’s fun side added lots of deep purples & pinks to the wedding, in the form of flowers and lighting.

A romantic ceremony consisted of a candle lit aisle & a stunning 7ft cascading tree. Hanging from the chiavari chairs were vintage frames containing photos of Ben & Sabrina growing up. A string quartet set the mood, performing from the balcony above.

To keep guests entertained during the drinks reception at Hedsor House, they were provided with an instant camera to take photos of themselves, & peg them to a clothes line frame…endless fun! There was also a huge calendar for guests to sign on their Birthdays, so Ben & Sabrina could stay in touch with Birthday wishes from Toronto.

The wedding breakfast had the Gatsby vibe! Amber lighting & banquet tables filled with tea lights & candles created an extremely opulent setting in the Ballroom of Hedsor House. Traditional table numbers were replaced with places that meant something to Ben & Sabrina, such as London, Toronto & Nairobi. Guests were very much looked after again with fun advice cards on the tables, lovely candle favours and a beautiful thank you note at each place setting.
