Pimp your Cupcake x

Hey Fairy bugs,

happy summer fun! Here at TFG HQ we are totally loving the summer weather and the longer, lighter days. Not to mention all the exciting weddings we have coming up!! Don't you just love wedding season.

Are you getting married soon?……..need a novel idea thats a touch different?………got a sweet tooth? If you answered yes to any of these then we may just have an idea to share that will boost your day!

Now we love a toot on Pinterest and keeping our peepers on everything stateside…..who doesn't? But when we saw this idea that the Huffington Post shared we knew we had to share it with our readers too. We're just good like that :)

Now we know cupcakes have been on the radar for a while and are certainly the biggest trend of "things to have" at a wedding, but why not take your love of everything sweet to a whole new level. Think sweet table meets cupcake table, hashed (beautifully) together and well-a! You have a "Pimp your Cupcake" table. OMG don't you just love it. All your favourite toppings, sweet or savoury treats packed onto a table ready for your guests to throw on top of a delicious cupcake.

Make it colourful, bright, fun with a note for all your guests to "Get stuck in decorating". It's great for kids but big kids (AKA adults) too.

So what are you waiting for add it to your wedding day agenda……. Happy Planning xx

A Nifty Idea x

Hi Fairy bugs,

thanks for joining! We're here with yet another nifty idea for your special day.

One of the big trends of the moment is having props! Props that either appear in the background of photos or can be used to create fun, memorable moments. There are so many ideas out there, and we know you like a unique idea. 

Today's nifty idea was inspired by summer garden furniture. No……we've not gone mad, (yet). It's about up-cycling, using what you have and a little bit of homemade wonderfulness. Not Costing the earth but having a massive impact perfect for those kodak moments. 

It all started with a rather tired swing chair, some waterproof fabric and a domestic sewing machine. Oh yes! Just imagine (setting the scene), a beautiful wedding day, sun shining, a delightful outside space and a perfect spot for a swing and a cheeky snap or two. Divine. 

Rather than costing the earth use what you have! If you love make do and mend, then this is certainly for you. Making the new cover and cushion set was super easy. After removing all the old covers, patterns were made, sewn were necessary and placed back in their prime positions. Paying for only the fabric and thread, not only will it look uber fun on your special day it will be great back home too! Don't worry if you can't sew……ask a family member or friend to help. It could be an early wedding present :)

Not only does it look lush but how cute will this be in your photos. 

Friends & family + swing chair + novelty signs or prop's = happy snapping

Now that's nifty!!
