Wedding Inspiration of the Week x

Hi Fairy Bugs, one huge apology for the late delivery of our "Wedding Inspiration of the Week" Fingers crossed all technical hitches are now cleared so it looks like we're good to go. yipppeeeeeeee!

As usual i have been sifting through this weeks collated imagery on our pinterest boards to bring you the newest ideas for your special day.

This week we've gone for a more afternoon tea vintage theme. Although this has been around for a little while now there are always updates on how to make this style look as fresh as a daisy. 

I thought we'd start with the dress this week and i found this beauty! Gorgeous necklines and backs are so on trend right now. The front should have sheer sections with the ultra feminine sweetheart neckline. Sleeveless for our summer brides is key. Then at the back a lovely cut out back would be the icing on the cake. The styling of the dress below is also spot on, with a beautiful head piece and waistband sash. It's a lovely way to incorporate your highlight colour, just make sure its soft and delicate so that it doesn't over power your dress.

Mixed floral bouquets are also still a big request now and having the "I just picked them our of the garden" vibe is crucial to a perfect vintage pose. In the image below there are some super tones of delicate pinks and softs peaches which, form a rather stunning yet well thought out piece. Bringing in these different hues allows you to create a true vintage ambience. Using various shades is really clever and a lovely detail to incorporate into your cake, table centre pieces etc.

Speaking of cake (yummy) this beauty is divine with its ruffles and mixed roses on top. It's uneven edges create a perfect "made in granny's kitchen" vibe for your vintage-esque chic. You could mix the flowers up on top to match your bouquet, and definatly mirror the colouration for that extra va va voom. (image from queenslandbrides.blogspot.com)

The next image i located is a real view to that perfect vintage look and ways in which you can incorporate this and what colours are ideal. What a great collage! There are always certain must's which will enhance and form the connotations needed to pull off a perfect themed wedding. Chair covers, centre pieces, bouquets, bridesmaids dresses, bridal gown, cake, room accessories and highlight colours. If you blend these together you will achieve perfection. It's like making a cake :)

Searching for something to get our Brides to be excited I came across something pink, sparkly, stunningly gorgeous and elegant. Would you like to see the items in question? Well here goes..... the "Crystal pear drop earrings" in a dazzling shade of frosted pink with delicate clear crystals at the edge would be a lovely bit of frosting for you Wedding day. At a rather friendly £35.00 they will shimmer and sparkle beautifully.

Now you can purchase these gems from "Rocks for Frocks" a rather super dooper site which, offers a rather dandy selection of bridal accessories. Make sure you check out their unique, birdcage veils, tiaras and headbands. There are some pieces on there which, literally had me goo goo eyed they are so stunning! There is lots to explore on the site and they even do personalised clothing!!

Wedding Inspiration of the Week x

Hello to all our lovely Fairy Bug followers! Thanks for checking out this weeks "Wedding Inspiration of the Week" feature.

For this weeks inspiration think blossom, sorbet, icing sugar......... no i've not gone mad, it's all about soft, delicate shades of pink! Not forgetting the tones of angelic white and cream which, compliment the powdery tones effortlessly.

Now the next two pictures sum up the theme really well, so i immediately repinned them onto my pinterest boards. The main factor here is vice vercer. The bride in here opulent white or demure ivory carries the sugar pink flowers while, the bridemaids wear a powdery pink assemble carrying a mix of frosted pink and off white flowers. It's like a well painted masterpiece! Mixing your tones of pink is a lovely way to create a more "off the cuff" yet "well designed" theme. It's almost like you said "that one, that one, yeah that one and that one" and yet magically and beautifully harmonise. (Images from junebugweddings.com and stylemepretty.com)

This cake with it's array of charming cupcakes is no doubt a show stopping piece, and a rather dandy way of continuing the colour palette. Looking rather vintage in its baby pink and ivory combination you could change this to be an optic white with powdery pink for a more fresh, angelic feel. Another lovely detail in this cake is the mix and match designs and cake cases. It's the little details which you can adapt to achieve your look. (Image from brides-book.com)

Now in any wedding your centrepieces really emphasis the flavour of your special day. When your guests walk in for the wedding breakfast why not dazzle them with tall shimmering vases and a sweet ie box array of beautiful pinks, greens, whites and even a slight touch of lilac. Wowzers! A really splendid detail would be to have half of your tables with one style of display and the other half with a slightly different style i.e the vases could be different therefore you floral display shape would be. Again it's add that effortless chic to your wedding day style. (Image from mph.ie)

Now one last show stopping detail which, is always a party pleaser......Favours! We can offer you personally designed, tagged, made and delivered favours as a token of thanks for your guests! (Check out the "our products for you tab" at the top of the page). Take a look at these lovelies..... milk chocolate heart shaped lollipops. Gone on spoil your guests xx

Wedding Buy of the Week x

Hi everyone thanks for joining for yet another exciting 'Wedding buy of the Week". 

We have found a site which offers, style, uniqueness and also a rather special designer selection!! Including Jenny Packham and Charlotte Balbier! Just a little bit of name dropping there. There are also themed sections if you are looking for a piece with a particular vibe. 

This divine site offers jewellery, tiaras, headbands, shoes, wraps, boleros and much much more. All the pieces are spectacular and I struggled to choose for this weeks feature. I decided to show you the "Anenome" which is priced at £125.00. A staggeringly beautiful, show stopping head piece you will certainly have the edge for your special day. Rather large in scale, this one is perfect for our Brides to be who are opting out of having a veil. This hair ornament will do all the work and will glisten delicately in any light.
