Wedding Inspiration of the Week x

Hi fairy bugs,

And happy new year! We hope you've had a great festive holiday and a fantastic new year.

Yes we're back with new inspiration just for you.

If your planning your special day around the festive period or just after then take a peek at the below mood board, sparkles, shimmers with delectable white tones and powdery greys. Think dreamy, wintery, elegance, with a sprinkling of what all magpies love......... Crystals and pearls. With a controlled squeal let's brainstorm.......

Let's start with the most important area, dresses. They form the largest impact and they're what every guest wants to see. So why not give them something to talk about. The image below is a great example of understated chic. The bride in the textural fishtail is complimented beautifully by the bridesmaids and their shimmering gowns. All slightly different but uniform in fabric. If you have a few bridesmaids this is a perfect way to add a glistening touch. If you only have one or two then opt for styles with more shaping or 3D embellishment. A fine detail would be to have the groomsmen's ties in matching colours to the dresses or tones of.

For the the flowers we had to share the encrusted bouquet below. The coloration and mixture of crystals and pearls is delightful. If your not a fan of flowers maybe leave those to the centrepieces as shown below. Team the flowers with tall crystal candelabras for maximum impact.

Now let's not forget the yummy cake.......whether you prefer a tiered number, cupcakes, cake pops or macaroons there is certainly a way to add the vavavoom to them. Take inspiration from the grey and white tones below. The solid colours are divine and with the floral elements added, a masterpiece is created. Rose themed cupcakes are a treat but, why not add a few sprinkles or shimmer dust or a light scattering of pearls. A little note here cupcake boxes are a great idea for guests to take a treat home.

There are many ways to add style to your day and stationary is a key factor, ensuring it follows throughout, this will impress your guests and set the scene for your happy ever after xx
