whats in a name

I must be in an inspirational mood. This is a freelance designer, Alex Parrott that sent me his work, and I spotted this very clever and gorgeous invite that he'd done. I guess it only really works with certain names, but if you are one of the lucky ones, then you might want to try it out on an invite.

shadow play

Saw this on flickr and just thought, wow. Perhaps inspiration for an invitation design? Who knows, I just like it.

make a statement

Alex Monroe's jewellery features regularly in Vogue, and for good reason. These Love pieces are gorgeous, as is the birds necklace which is perhaps a bit more of a subtle statement. Now, I wonder if I'll get that Love ring for valentines day (hint hint to the boy)...

watch the birdie

This idea is fairly simple, but looks so professional. Pretty vintage white metal/wooden birdcages as centrepieces and you can use a variety of sizes and styles. Confetti currently have some perfect ones, and Lavenders of London have some elegant tall ones ranging in size. You can fill them with simple rose heads, twist ivy around them, add candles inside and add details such as these little birdies and butterflies.

wash n go

This lovely looking silver and white clutch is actually a washbag! If you are looking to save money it is definitely clutch-worthy for your big day, then you can take it on holiday with you and use as either an evening bag or wash bag (though I think it's far to pretty to be sat in a bathroom). 2 in 1 bag, love it!

light up light up

Beautiful bamboo lanterns to hang on trees for a summer wedding. They are also windproof so they will guarantee to stay light and bright for an evening! You could also use them indoors and place them on a set of stairs or outside doorways if you need to perhaps direct guests into different rooms, or up to another level.

love is..

So, you've come back from your honeymoon, all loved-up but your house now looks a bit, well... un-loved. Bring back the romance to your pad with this range of LOVE bedspreads and cushions. Perfect to snuggle up and banish the post-holiday blues with.
