What goes into a wild and loose September wedding bouquet?
I thought it would be nice to follow up from Rhiannon and Richard’s wild and natural Welsh wedding (it’s so beautiful – you must have a look if you haven’t seen it already) with more details of the wild looking bouquet Rhiannon carried. The bouquet in question was created by the wonderful Chloe of BareBlooms who is featured in The Natural Wedding Company directory. I got in touch with Chloe to find out exactly what flowers she used to create Rhiannon’s bouquet, and to find out what look she had been asked to create. Chloe told me, “Rhiannon was so …

Rhiannon and Richard’s wild and natural Welsh wedding with a midnight canoe send-off
I’m in-love with today’s wedding for its laid-back and relaxed attitude – for me, Rhiannon and Richard seem to have really captured what your wedding day should really be about: love, family, friends, good company and delicious food. They got married in September 2011 with a beautiful weekend-long wedding held at Fforest, just outside Cardigan in Wales. Rhiannon and Richard really did their wedding their way – with no photographer, no over-the-top details, just lots of fun and a super relaxed weekend surrounded by their family and friends. Rhiannon is a freelance journalist who writes about all things green, …

New Wives Club #2: using vintage jelly moulds as tealight holders
Welcome to my second New Wives Club post! Today’s idea for reusing wedding finds in your home is my own idea, rather than one I’ve found online and recreated at home. I have a soft spot for collecting vintage jelly moulds, the metal kind – I think it is something about the soft shapes and the worn brushed silver colour. Anyway, just before Christmas I realised I’d got rather a lot and they were looking forlorn piled up in a corner of my office. Somehow I decided I would use them over Christmas, upturned and filled with tealights – the …

Paper bag wrapped wedding favours tied up with string
To some people paper bags might be a bit boring, but I quite like them – they have all kinds of uses both at home and for weddings. It’s always nice to see something a bit different, and I really like this way of wrapping up wedding favours (they use sweets, but you could do it with soap or chocolate or whatever you would like). You stamp the bags with a stamp of your choice, pop the wedding favour inside and then sort of roll it up to form a little parcel. Then tie it with string. It’s that simple. …

Our wedding stationery inspired this reader to create her own handmade invitations
One of my lovely readers, Eulyn, got in touch to share her wedding invitations with me after being inspired by the wedding stationery we made for our wedding. I can’t tell you how lovely it is to get emails and pictures like this, knowing that something you did inspired someone else – and a photo of another couples hard work. If you’ve been inspired by the ‘save the dates’ or stationery that we created for our wedding, do send me an email – I’d love to hear from you and attach a couple of pictures so I can see (and …
