Weddings......it's in the detail x

Hi fairy bugs,

Hope your having a good week and the weather isn't getting you down to much. Yesterday was howling and yours truly was almost blown away. Oh well never mind let's focus on details to give your special day the magical edge. 

Cheesecake or where we're from cheeeessse-caakkkkke. It's for the brides and grooms who want a sweet treat alternative or a secondary savoury cake. Oh yes with multiple varieties of your favourite cheeses and fruit to add a bit of colour and detail we want to share with you this image from wonderfulwhimsicalweddings.com how fantastic is this! We totally 'heart' the mini bunting in top, what a delightful detail. 

It would definitely be a talking point and could be a welcomed sight for guests who don't love cake. Mmmmmmmm anyone for cheese? X

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

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
