I'm exactly the same - just a new name to make it all a bit more consistent. See you there!

numbers up

A simple and rustic idea for table numbers. Transfer printed numbers (in a lovely font) onto pieces of balsa wood. These guys gathered pieces of branch wood themselves (best things in life can be free!) which were then cut into to hold the balsa wood. Great for a eco/natural theme wedding. This is taken from a blog in the US - Brooklyn Bride

pop pop

These pop-up cards are new in at Muji for Valentines Day. Nice idea for an invite, especially if you are planning on having Roses or Gerberas as your flowers.

snappy snaps

How much fun is this! You can hire a photobooth from Boothnation to have at your wedding reception. If you perhaps aren't hiring a photographer for the whole day, but want to have photos of all your guests then this has got to be the best way to do it. People will love going in there (or cramming in there!) to have fun within the booth. Oh how it brings back memories of going into town on a Saturday and getting these photos done with your mates, or of course a quick snog in there with your latest boyfriend of the time. Best thing about this? Totally natural pictures showing your guests in their element. Even better, invite them to bring a prop to represent them, and get them to wear it in the booth! Everyone can then view or purchase the images online.

it's a sign

Having a cosy church wedding in the middle of nowhere? Sounds lovely, but if you are worried that your cute little village church is tucked away down a picturesque country lane, then your guests may well need more than sat-nav to find it. This vintage style 'wedding' sign does exactly what it says. And if your friends are anything like mine then this might just be a necessity.

perfume perfection

Prada's Infustion D'iris is one of my favourite perfumes (at the moment, I am known to be quite fickle on the perfume front). But more to the point, it's handy purse sized silver re-fillable case is just so cool and perfect to carry on your big day. I casually left it out on my desk at work and had lots of comments on it, so not only will you smell nice when you top up your spritz, you'll look so cool doing it.
