Wedding Inspiration of the Week x

Hi fairy bugs,
Thanks for joining us for our wedding inspiration of the week. It's a little Bibbidi bobbidi boo for you!
We thought we'd share with you a more summery theme, perfect for anyone looking for a country-esque or make do and mend style. 
Yellow can sometimes be a hard colour to co-ordinate and can often look quite stark. Well not here folks. We've combined frosted lemon with cool golden tones and the overall look is fresh, summery and calming. Mixing your tones is the best way to achieve this effortless, whimsical beauty.
If your a lover of flowers, we suggest picking your favourites from the English garden selection and fashionably arranging them ......... So basically give them the random look! One really subtle but effective detail which we feel is key from the below imagery is the light blue flowers in the poses. It really makes them pop and adds more depth to your palette.
Now how divine is the stationary shown below? Sophisticated fonts with subtle pattern on the card. If you prefer a bolder statement but love the softness of this theme then why not add watercolour flowers in a corner and echo that throughout. You could even opt for a single blue flower to compliment the bouquets previously mentioned. The great thing about watercolour is it's delicate appearance, but it doesn't half pack a punch in terms of style.
Now we know the lemon lollipops are a little obvious for a yellow theme but.........we love them! Especially in their printed hessian bags! Does anybody remember the fruit shaped lollipops from our childhood? Orange, lemon, etc......why not add a couple to each bag for favours. You'll be surprised how many people remember them!
Cake........mmmmmmm........it's all well and good decorating the outside but how about lemon ombré on the inside or tonal layers. When cut it will look super special. A little suggestion on flavour give lemon and rose water a try.......it's amazing!
Now let's talk dresses. This is purely a matter of opinion and taste. We suggest one of 2 things. Crisp white with frosted lemon or ivory with pastel golden tones of yellow. The tones in either sit together beautifully and sit more uniformed. The image below shows a beautiful English rose style of dressing but if you prefer simplicity, clean lines, draping or lace.......this theme will still work. You can adapt it to your style easily. Top tip.......go with your instinct!
Happy planning xx
