Something Blue

I’m often asked “how can I bring in a little colour to my wedding” and the answer is quite easily. It doesn’t have to be a full on colour saturation and metaparody.

Take a classic white and neutral flower bouquet and add a small element of colour, or keep it white and add artisan plant dyed silk ribbons. Add coloured shoes to peak beneath your dress, and give your photographer the stationery suite and jewellery to capture the memories of the day through a flatlay.

Elopement Vibes

The last days of lockdown 3. The tulips are popping, spring is in the air, the vibe is ‘hell yeah’ we all just want a bit of fun. Creative juices are running high, and the dream team came together (see all the awesome suppliers at the bottom of this).

Elopement style weddings with just 15 guests are back on the cards, it may be bijou, but they’re certainly not lacking in style and celebration, and these dresses are perfect for the wild at heart.

Pretty pastel Spring wedding

Goodness it's been a whirlwind of a week.  Monday saw the prettiest of Spring weddings over at Eaves Hall in Lancashire.  One of those trips that sees the landscape changing quite rapidly.  One minute it's all pretty villages with crazy road layouts and the next it's middle of nowhere, rural moorland with sheep. 

So what went into this heap of pretty?  The double Ellen hellebores were rather special, and mixed with the Libretto Parrot and Menton French tulips gave the overall design such a soft romantic spring look.  Keeping it seasonal I added a little flowering currant and pussy willow.  Jasmine trails, I can see this being a bit of a theme this year, with the soft blush tips.  I have invested in a large number of Jasmine plants, with the usual 'no room' where on earth they are going to be placed remains to be seen.  I'm thinking pots for the time being. 

On the growing front all the spring bulbs I planted, have popped this week because of the warmer weather.  And I've just delivered another wedding this morning, the bride squealed with delight.  More of that in the next blog.  Or follow on Instagram for sneaky peaks.
