I have been busy this week making up some floral mood boards, for brides that have enquiries regarding different colours, I'm loving the colours of this one in particular and so I thought I would share it with you, I actually had this colour for my own wedding so I suppose it is a colour I have always liked, will show you another one during the week!

Red Christmas Theme - Floral Mood board.

As Promised here's not one but two red mood boards for your chrstmas theme! I love the idea of the little snowy christmas tree in the cloche for a table center, these would also make great gifts for aunties etc to take home at the end of the night. They can also be planted which makes a really great memento of your wedding and is also "green" and helping the environment. I love gold with red but you can just as easily use silver if that is your preference. For a red and gold theme think lots of candles in red and cream with gold bouillion wire wrapped around them, lots of gold baubles and red and gold ribbons, pine cones, and berries,(if you are not getting married untill next christmas start collecting in the jan. sales!) add a sprinkling of fairy lights but with gold accents instead of silver and again make use of christmas trees, if you can find mini ones real or fake they make great table centers, dont forget your tables accent them with pretty red and gold christmas crackers and red ribbons on crisp white napkins.................
And if you are brave enough to wear a red dress, check out the stunner above, it's by Ian Stuart, I so LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his creations, there is also a really fab hat that goes with this dress (and yes it also comes in white! & Ivory)You can find it here:http://www.ianstuart-bride.com/docs/5.param_dress_masquerade.html
I have also found a really great idea for table centers which I will share with you ..........................tomorrow!
See you then!

Winter Wonderland anyone?

Ooooooh! O.K. so I admit, I love Christmas! and although I love the summer and the sunshine it's somehow nice to get back to crisp cold days with a lovely fire inside! (although I do hate the rain!!) But this time of year I get alot of brides asking about Christmas weddings and winter themes, what can we do to make it different? Well you can do alot! You can go for a lovely silver and blue theme as above or an equally beautiful red and gold theme (maybe I will do that tomorrow? Check back!) And although I think that the picture on the bottom left (with all the Christmas trees) is a little in the extreme, you could achieve something a bit more subtle by using the same idea. let your imagination run wild! Think Fog machines, and lighting effects with snowflake filters, beautiful iridesent snowflakes on the tables and lots of fairy lights. You can make beautiful and not very expensive table centers by using some of the plants that are available such as small christmas trees with snow or gittered finish and put lots of pincecones and t lights around the base of them, If they come in plain pots just spray paint them in a colour to match your scheme. Or how about some nice glass hurricane jars filled with baubles and fairylights? Put a cracker at each place setting and you could also pick up some inexpensive chocolates in the shape of christmas trees or snowmen (the type that you hang on trees) and tie one to each napkin with a piece of ribbon. Of course if it all seems like it's just too much work, we would be happy to do it for you! Check back tomorrow for the red and gold theme!
