A feast for the eyes

I've seen some really different ideas for table centre pieces at a couple of weddings that I've been to recently - pastely hydrangea plants standing in pots, wrapped in brown paper and twine, brightly coloured stripy table runners & mini silver buckets of herbs - cleverly chosen to compliment the main course! Traditional flower arrangements aren't mandatory these days and a lot of brides are really thinking outside the box when it comes to their table decor. Not only do DIY arrangements save you a few pennies, they also allow you to wow your guests with something totally distinctive, showcasing your personality and adding to a perfectly tailored wedding theme! I'm loving these ideas...

Dresses for Encore Brides

I recently received some very exciting news that my beautiful Mum is getting married later this year! It will be her 2nd marriage, so she's looking to get away from a traditional white wedding dress. Incredible tailoring, colour, shimmering metallics & knee grazing hemlines are definite considerations! I thought I'd have a look around and show you some of my favourite finds for more mature brides. I think all of these would ooze elegance & sophistication on your wedding day! Can't wait to see what you end up wearing Mum!x
