All that glitters

We absolutely adore when brides are up for a bit of glitter, glitz and gold incorporated into their big day. 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).

Polka Dots? Yes please!

7. sassy polka dot tights from marc jacobs //8. carolina amato gloves

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!

colour: pink : Ballet inspired wedding

In 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.

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!)
