faking it





In all fairness, I'm not sure I'm totally convinced by the idea of fake flowers over a fresh flower bouquet, however if you are marrying abroad or at short notice these lovely silk flower bouquets could be worth a look. Of course the lovely thing about silk flowers are that after the wedding you can keep the bouquets at home to remind you of the day. Good idea for hot weather as well as they won't wilt! They also do a range of corsages and buttonholes if you wanted to kit the whole wedding party out. They also do unique designs, so if you wanted a bouquet to match your theme (like the monochrome one), or flowers that were out of season, this is a good option.

I absolutely love love love the photography of Max Wanger. Unfortunately he's in the USA, but I just wanted to post his work to show how wedding photography can show personality, be so quirky, romantic and story-telling. Beautiful (as are the couples in question). Having looked at his website, there are some lovely examples of a couple who look like they have had the photos done for their engagement which I think is a lovely momento.

extra fizz



I love this idea, whether you are having a traditional romantic themed wedding with reds and pinks or even more perfect for a summer wedding I think. Just pop a Hibiscus Flower in each glass, and topped up with your choice of Champagne, it makes them look like a cocktail without too much effort! And in case your canapes aren't quite enough for the guests, they can eat the flower too, which apparently tastes of raspberries!

If you want a hint of pastel colour to add to your tables, then these traditional water bottles will do just that. Great for a rustic wedding to add to the country charm and generally it's a more interesting way to serve water!

A to Z




If you aren't into the traditional bride and groom wedding cake toppers, then these silver monogram letters make a nice alternative. Just one word of warning, check what your letters look like together as a friend of mine realised her's would be S & M - not quite appropriate for the wedding day! Although these are especially made for putting onto cakes, you can buy letters like this in many places. Posh Graffiti have a great selection, you could lay the letters (or a word) on the cake table to create an individual display or you could even use single large letters or numbers to add to your tables as centrepieces or table numbering.

mix n match


I saw this and really liked the idea.  I think it works really well with the colour red, but you could be more adventurous as you can get shoes dyed most colours these days you could closely match the colour to your bouquet.  If you fancy adding a hit of colour to your outfit without being too brave, then I think this is a fun and sexy way to do so, and sooo great for photos. 

mmm doughnuts







Who isn't a fan of Krispy Kreme doughnuts? Along with Homer, I know I'm certainly partial to them, and the idea of having this as a wedding cake has left me drooling (sorry!). As long as they are stacked neatly, and on a decorative cake stand, you can have a great display. You can ice them in colours to match your theme, add ribbons or flowers and they are easy for guests to tuck into as well! I also love this idea for wedding favours, simple, cheap and bound to get taken home!
