Ruby Red Rose Wedding Centrepiece

I'm such a fan of the duo of Karin from Haute Horticulture and photographer Annabella Charles. They create the prettiest of floral studies. Wouldn't this make the most perfect centrepiece for a winter wedding?

Floral feature - Annabella Brandon & Haute Horticulture

Remember this gorgeous floral feature a few weeks back? Well the fabulous team of Annabella Charles and Karin from Haute Horticulture also put this beauty together. Pretty, pretty, pretty! Need I say more?

Ferns with your flowers...

That beautiful fern bouquet in yesterdays board got me thinking about how they really make for the prettiest greenery in either your centrepiece or bouquet. With so many different varieties of fern you can have a pretty delicate... almost lacey like look, or something a bit more robust with stronger larger fronds. Here are a few images I found where the addition of the fern just adds that little something special I think.

Using your invitations to inspire other wedding elements...

Happy September 1st (kinda first day of spring no? or is that officially the 21st?) A  few weeks ago I did a couple of guests posts for my friends Chris and Melissa and as I'm utterly swamped right now with little time to put together blog posts, I thought I'd share the posts I did for them with you today. I wanted to show how you can take inspiration from your invitations and use it to carry the theme through with your cake or bouquet. It doesn't have to be a literal translation of it (although depending on the design this can work well) but even using a hint of the stationery design will ensure you have a streamlined look to your day. So I've paired up some of my designs with some simply stunning bouquets... and of course the most delish looking cakes! I hope these inspire you to think about making a connection between your stationery and other elements you choose for the day. What your favourite combination?

Feather Bouquets

A bouquet with a difference!! I recently stumbled across Emplume, who make these fabulous unique feather bouquets, perfect if you're looking for something with a point of difference - not to mention it will last way beyond the wedding day. I love the white one, it looks so soft and inviting! Best of all they ship them anywhere in the world so no one need miss out. What do we think?
