Wedding Inspiration of the Week x

Hi Fairy bugs,

thanks for joining us for this weeks "Wedding Inspiration of the Week". We're thinking Christmas, sparkle and detail. If you are a Christmas fan and want to have a magical winter wedding then why not use a few of our ideas below and incorporate some of the fabulous details from our Mood Board.

Now when you say sparkle it doesn't have to be ultra bright and vivid, think soft almost pastel metallics. Powdery golds, shimmering silvers and effortless iridescent whites and mix them together. The key is to add these delicate metallics to certain areas (chair bows, invitations, bridesmaid dresses, favours, cake), and keep sold white, silvers, creams or a colour to the main larger areas (I.E tables, chair sash's, flower girls, flowers). With the perfect mix you'll create a real Christmas wonderland. Take inspiration from the bow on the chair below, the colouration is perfect.

There are plenty of areas were you can bring fun Christmas connotations to the table, bauble name card holders, stockings for cutlery to sit into, stag or tree decorations on the tables, baubles on the cake, christmas shapes on your wedding stationary. clear baubles full of sweets for favours. The trick is to pick maybe one or two shapes I.E snowflake & stag, then include them into some of the details above. Paired with the metallics your on your way to a bibbidi bobbidi boo Winter Wedding.

A little thought for a perfect guest book is to have a christmas tree with baubles.....your guests can write a note, draw a picture and if you leave glitter and sequins on the side, create perfect wedding baubles you can treasure forever. Without knowing it they will have decorated a Wedding Christmas tree all for you.

If you need more visual assistance we have pulled together the below imagery to inspire you. We hope you have fun with this one, Christmas is our Favourite time of year xx
