Summer is on its way




















Summer is definitely on its way and summer weddings are so pretty but you don't necessarily have to be in July or August to create the feel of a summer wedding. Let's face it the one thing you cannot plan for or pre-order is the weather and in good old Blighty it is the one thing you can't count on.

So - here are some tips to create the look and feel of summer at your wedding regardless of what is going on outside!

Diamonds are a girl's best friend! So put some on your table!

I love these diamond cut tealight holders. They are multi-faceted so when the candle flickers the light reflects off all the different cut surfaces creating a really pretty atmosphere.

Decorate your guests tables with 3 or 5 of these (remember to be candle safe) and you will create a really romantic dreamy atmosphere in your venue.

Available to buy for £3.25 + p&p each or why not hire them from Mrs2Be Hire for just £1.95 each (with candle) + delivery/collection. Contact me for more information and to check availability.

For these and more table decorations visit our Main Website HERE

Happy Planning!

Get Inspired for your Wedding


There are some wonderful wedding magazines out there, 2 of our favourites being Wedding Ideas and You and Your Wedding. But there are so many other places you can look to get inspiration for your wedding day.

House Magazines

I know it sounds odd - but the fact is that house magazines are a great place to get ideas about colour schemes. They focus heavily on interior design as well as themes so check them out for ideas.

Blogs

I know I may sound bias - seeing as I blog - but believe me when I tell you there are some wonderful blogs out there! Many wedding planners blog - and even if you are not using their services they are great for getting inspiration! Two of my personal favourites are http://www.littlewhitebookblog.blogspot.com/ and http://blog.bohoweddingsandevents.com/

Websites

Yes, yes - I know this really sounds biased by now - but I don't mind admitting there are other wedding planning websites out there as well as Mrs2Be.com that are worth a look! They really are great for inspiration and ideas. Our wedding colour scheme pages get a lot of visits so be sure to check them out!

Wedding Photographers

Wedding photographers nearly always have a gallery page - so check them out - there will be some great ideas amongst them so be sure to bookmark the images you like.

Happy Planning !

Have Your Cake & Eat It!


This is a great way to save money without compromising on quality or design by combining your wedding cake with your wedding favours and your table place settings all at the same time!

There are some beautiful individual wedding cakes available which come boxed and decorated such as the one seen here by Flissy Cakes of Altrincham. Firstly speak to your cake supplier about your colour scheme and theme etc. Flissy Cakes will 'computer colour match' your cake colour so that it matches your wedding colour scheme perfectly. Then ask them to supply the individual cakes boxed and decorated. Add a label or tag with the name of each guest on and place the cake on your tables.

Not only will they taste gorgeous but they will look beautiful and fulfil a role! Only problem is - they look too good to eat!

Happy Planning
