Wedding Inspiration of the Week x

Hi Fairy Bugs,

hope your having a fabulous week?! and woo hoo the weekend is almost here.

This weeks Wedding Inspiration of the week is "aaaahhhhhhh say chic". A hypnotic black and white classiness with the bom-chic-a-wow-wow. (No i've not gone mad), it's one of the most striking themes a wedding could have in terms of the wow factor as soon as you enter a room! Our mood board is focused on the ting and yang colours but if this is not your thing why not had a highlight colour? red, royal blue, fuscia. 

The great thing about black and white is the striking patterns you can get for your bridesmaids and grooms mens attire. Polka dots, stripes, geometric shapes, florals etc. A lovely touch would be for your grooms men to have their bow tie or tie in the same pattern as the bridesmaids or flower girls. 

For your flowers a typical white flower of choice is a must but why not add black crystals or stones into your vases or use black vases for that clean striking effect. You could even get some black twigs or trees for on your tables and hang votives of white petals off them. 

If your planning your cake and stationary there are so many ideas that you can choose from. Have fun with it, embrace it and show off your true taste. Loving the Save the date below, with a mix of text, stroke width and full of styles, the invite is pleasing to the eye and shows an keen eye for style. The cake below is also charming full of fun, design and continues with clean, bold lines to compliment the black and white theme. 

If your wondering how to dress yourself and bridesmaids without looking like your going to a funeral. Take inspiration from the below image. A simple waistband, headpiece or jewellery would look stunning for you, and why not try a print for your bridemaids to compliment the theme but will look for fun and stylish.

I hope your feeling inspired and if you haven't thought about black and white, maybe give it a go! xx

Hi Fairy bugs!

yes it's that time already.....more exciting and inspirational imagery from our pinterest boards! This week it's all about 'Dreaminess'. There is an essence of the Fairytail wedding here but it's certainly more opulent and sophisticated. I suppose a little girl all grown up style of wedding :)

As soon as the proposal has been accepted, the planning and creating of the special day is the most exciting part. It's a chance to express your inner most princess thoughts, the "one day when i grow up i want a wedding with....." and then you fulfil your dreams, hence dreaminess.

The mood board below shows rich creams, ivory's and off whites at their best. Fused with delicate lemons, frosted mochas and natural foliage. Details are key from the charming lace and pearl details on the cake and cupcakes to the embroidered bodice of the bridal gown. They are main features that every bride wants to show off and are true elements to showing your true style. 

Floral bouquets and centrepieces should be full to the brim of your favourite flowers, complimented with trailing foliage. The images below are perfect examples of roses in their element and their natural tones create soft, divine depth to the styles. 

If you are lucky enough to have a paige boy and flower girl why not recreate mini you's? They'll look super cute and your guests will adore them. xx

Hi Fairy bugs,

happy friday we're at the end of the week and what a week its been. All this cold wet wether has got me geared up for autumn, and this year........i'm going to embrace it. All those rich warm colours, the beautiful colour changing leaves and the chance to layer up in our favourite warm autumnal textures.

If you haven't thought about a wedding in the latter stages of the year - maybe consider it. There is so much fun to be had, and our mood board expresses that! We want to share this weeks pinterest finds with you to show you the fun autumn features you can include for your special day. 

Firstly flowers.........rich reds, deep burgundys blended sublimely with pumpkin tones and rustic timbers. You can create a real novel bouquet and centrepieces by embracing all things that bloom at the back end of summer into autumn. Sunflowers, peonies, asters and add a touch of foliage - tad ah! Gorgeous, vibrant, stand out pieces. They will really set the scene.

You can incorporate the divine tones into the ribbons on your cake, sugarcraft on cupcakes and then into the bows and runners for your table settings. Just imagine walking into a room full of autumnal delights. You could even give chocolate orange truffles for favours - for that warm fuzzy feeling :)

Lets not forget the all important dress code. Men and women. Loving the mix of textures and warm shades modelled by the groomsmen below. This is a great example of true fall fun! The bridesmaids would look stunning in arrays of red and amber tones or a single shade would be quite suffice. Either way a nod to your theme would be enhanced by the bridal party. 

For our beautiful bride why not opt for ivory or off white to compliment the more comforting element of the trend.

I hope we've inspired you to embrace autumn and all of its charm xx

Hi Fairy bugs,

my my how the weather is changing up here! I feel the need to get the old knit wear out! Lovely warm cosy knits in all their jewel colours. Well it's got me thinking.......

Opulance, rich tones, stand out details - we're only onto this weeks theme (yippee). Peacock heaven! I don't know about you but the sight of a peacock feather gets me giddy.....the natural beauty, the striking colours, the unique design. Perfect for our Brides to be who want to achieve an opulent style wedding. Not only are their delicate nature inspiring but the array of colours in a single feather can create a chic and rather individual atmosphere.

To help you along with our rather bubble thought process we thought we pull together our favourite images from our pinterest boards and create one very inspiring mood board. 

Some of the main details of the day can get a real boost from adding a single peacock feather. For example - the chair covers, button holes, cupcakes/cake,  even your wedding stationary. By adding this novel item or imagery (to your stationary), you create and instant vibrant impact. They look expensive and are extremely eye catching. Why not incorporate a few cheeky feathers into your bouquet to keep continuity. By keeping them in these suitable areas you can be free to match up your bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen accessories and even you table settings by colour, so not to go OTT on the feather front. Adding the novel teal, royal blues, deep purples will keep all the main details aligned with your chosen theme.

If your wondering how to dress to match your theme. Opt for floating layers and encrusted details. You will bring a soft sophistication to the whole story, not to mention you will stand out splendidly. Remember to have fun with opulence, embrace it, own it, love it xx
