Shimmery goodness and sparkling delights, champange bubbles and glittering lights! After all, glitter is our favourite colour (if it were actually a colour, of course).<br />

I don’t know what it is about polka dots but there isn’t a polka dot pattern that I don’t love! Maybe it derives from our constant fascination by Kate Spade and her easy-to-love designs and ensembles, or maybe it’s my love for Roy Lichtenstein’s notorious pop art. I find them to be so fun and versatile-they can be preppy, charming, sophisticated, playful, and downright glamorous! If I can find a way to wear them or incorporate them, I will!{amanda gurney}http://www.blogger.com/profile/09436874443555675172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297602564273268777.post-27304567090784413772012-04-15T14:18:00.000-07:002012-04-15T14:18:03.740-07:00colour: pink : Ballet inspired weddingIn our wedding planning opinions nothing says pretty inspiration like a ballet. It's classic with pale pink ribbon sashes, soft floating skirts, sleek hairstyles and poised slippers. <br />
<br />
This gracefully elegant trend can easily translate into a modern evening city wedding, or a classic, afternoon party adorned with countryside (as long as the groom doesn't feel compromised with lashing of dainty pinkness!)<br />

Green and red are definately not just for christmas any longer. This mood board is proof! Sharp, crisp green mixed with darker shades of green and red with a punch of pink make the perfect wedding palette. These are a few of our faves at the moment - a Vera Bradley 'you make me blush' pattern inspired wedding to the custom made necktie by Tux & Tulle, a special addition of red Manolo's (love the sparkle!). Of course, the English could <i>never</i> forget tea. The assorted tea cups - Gardner Street Green, by Kate Spade for Lenox, Bamboo Casual, by Monique Lhuillier for Royal Doulton. Seriously, we die. <br />

Anna absolutely exudes grace, fun, spontaneity and a special chicness for style with added personality. With a southern upbringing and a Scottish family heritage, Josh and Anna obviously wanted to incorporate both. Josh wore his argyle kilt well with all the trimmings while bagpipes were beautifully played as guests. Anna has a real eye for style with <a href="http://www.tiffanys.com">Tiffanys</a> poised on her delicate finger (don't worry, we were jealous, too!), chandelier earrings decorating her ears beautifully and a stunning blue sapphire ring as a wedding day present from her husband to be worn on her right hand. A bracelet was 'something borrowed' from her sister which was worn on her own wedding day ten years ago. <br />
<br />
This cowboy boot wearing bride rocked boots with a vintage inspired gown before the ceremony with a quick change into delightful heels adorned with sparkle just before her walk down the aisle. And, her wardrobe accessory changes didn't stop there. From wedding veil to an eye catching headpiece for the reception and a soft furry shawl in white for the chillier evening reception "boogie" as the bride referred to it jokingly. <br />
<br />
They both wanted a quiet corner with a table at the reception to meet and try out the amazing reception food and have a quiet moment amongst the excitement. Of course, with such personalities a photobooth of dressing up and photoshoots was a must for these two. Both, great added touches that suited the couple perfectly. <br />

We wanted to share with you a darling event that was filmed by the amazing <a href="http://penweddings.com/">PenWeddings</a> - wedding films with such personality. As southern belles originating from the USA, we relish in a good southern styled wedding! Which brings us to introduce Catherine + Sean who married at Cooper Chapel (this chapel with take your breath away!) Our favorite part? The cheeky reception. Have a look for yourself. <br />

From Sarah of PenWeddings:<br />
<br />
“This is the Traylor-Parks wedding. Yes, those are their real names. And Catherine and Sean took full advantage of this coincidence, using an Airstream trailer as the bar for their adorable backyard reception. There ceremony was held at the stunning Mildred B. Cooper chapel in Bella Vista, Arkansas, created by renowned Arkansas architect E Fay Jones. Although it’s not far from the nearest highway, once you’ve walked the meandering path through the trees to the chapel, you feel as though you’ve left the world behind. We were so thrilled that Catherine and Sean set aside time after the ceremony to take photos by the water, in a field, and at a neighbor’s barn, too. They finished the night with an adorable reception at Catherine’s parents’ house. Wooden signs directed guests to the “out house” and cocktail hour on the front lawn. Beautiful arrangements of bottles, flowers and tree stumps awaited guests at their tables, along with their favors of honey and tea. The Southern cooking was to die for, and the dancing seemed like it would never end. Nothing could have made this day better, other than maybe a 20-degree drop in temperature. I can’t say enough about what a fabulous day it was.”<br />

For instance, historians note that in one of its earliest form in Old England, <i>bidders</i> announced the wedding celebration on the streets to passersby, inviting all to attend. In the 18th century, this progressed to people having their wedding invitations published in the local newspapers, while in the mid-19th Century, it is said that most couples had engraved wedding invitations hand-delivered to their guests.<br />

<br />
One of the first impressions of a wedding begins with the invites to your guests. The chosen invites can really set the tone for the type of affair you are planning as well as giving the first glimpse of your special day to your guests. Also, so many couples like their wedding invitations to be a item that their guests will remember and perhaps keep as a memento. So it is important to choose stationary that will reflect a beautiful and stylist occassion. <br />
<br />
Here are five key steps to remember when chosing your wedding stationary:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/75074241@N03/6812504470/" title="http://riflepaperco.com/index.php"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7203/6812504470_de2a0213c1.jpg" width="500" height="362" alt="http://riflepaperco.com/index.php"></a><br />

<br />
1. What is the setting?<br />
<br />
When you are choosing wedding invitations, it may help you to consider the setting of your wedding. Whether you are having a formal black-tie event or a more casual outdoor wedding, there are all sorts of invitations that can reflect that setting. With an array of stationary available for brides, there are options to really costomise your invites. For example, a hand-painted invite would make a great option for those marrying at a particular venue such as a manor, castle or popular location with an invite displaying a specific image of the venue itself. If you are a bride planning a casual wedding is given the freedom to be creative and have a stationary tailored to fit the style of your special day. <br />

<br />
2. What are your colours?<br />
<br />
Colouring is important. Again, this will set the tone of your wedding day so matching your wedding stationary is key. It will give your guests a lovely sneak peek and reveal a bit of your own personal taste and flair.<br />
<br />

<br />
3. What is your theme?<br />
<br />
I'm not talking fancy dress themes here. Although, I understand that is some couple's cup o' tea <i>(if a star wars themed wedding is crossing your mind, for the love of wedding planning, please reconsider)</i>. In terms of themed weddings, this is more of a collaboration of your setting, chosen colors and style that you are going for. Are you planning a modern, simple yet stated wedding? Perhaps you are going for soft lace and a more vintage feel for a garden wedding? Regardless of what you choose, tailoring your wedding invite to the style of your wedding is very complimenting to your day. Try to incorporate textures that you are including in your wedding into your invite or even the design of your flowers. <br />

4. Do you want photos?<br />
<br />
Adding photos to your wedding invites is a great option for a fun and adventurous couple. Photo booth style photos are a sweet addition to an invite depending on the couple and their personalities. Couples can really have fun using photos and again set the tone for the type of wedding you are planning. Another option is to include a photo from your angagement photoshoot. This will make a great keepsake for your guests. <br />

5.What is your budget?<br />
<br />
Wedding invitation can take a chunk from your budget. If you wonder what you should expect to spend on your wedding invitations, a lot depends on your budget, your taste and where you shop. Some experts say that you should allocate between 5 and 10 percent of your overall budget to your wedding invitations and related stationary expenses. This will greatly depend on your how much you plan to spend and the materials used. For instance, you might consider very formal engraved cards on the finest quality, heavy weight paper, or you may prefer an elegant wedding invitation with hand-pressed flowers. Regardless, of which is your chosen style, when choosing your wedding invitations, you also should consider the budget you have. Many couples are turning to Do-It-Yourself kits, which offer all of the pieces you will need to print your own wedding invitations at home and put them together yourself. While the price for this more creative approach is often comparable to some of the more basic professionally printed cards, by going it alone you can greatly up the quality of the materials you select without spending more than you can afford. My advice is the 'less is more' approach when creating your own invites. Keep it simple and elegant <i> (put down the glue gun!)</i> such a letter-press detailing, typography or hand stamped lettering and a candle wax seal. Your guests will appreciate the sentiment.<br />

We did a spot of shopping, had an amazing lunch at Les Duex Salon and flirted with adventure. We popped into Kate Spade for a session of fashion drooling and oh.my.colour. Major inspiration. Adore the collaborative collection with Florence Broadhurst.<br />

The eye-catching pops or pinks and oranges were amazing in the spring collection yet the blues and greens really stuck in my mind. During the wedding planning process so many brides opt for a more natural or soft array of colours (which we love, of course!) Navy is definately a colour that would be a great focus point. It can be coupled with rustic gold, purple, and white. It would make for a refreshing palette. *ahem, inspiration below*<br />
