Rusty old graters become beautiful and magical lanterns for a rustic wedding
When you see those pictures above how could I not share them with you? What an utterly genius idea – I know I am always saying this, but why don’t I think of simple but deeply clever ideas like this. Those rusty old cheese graters you spot at carboots and think how they have a rather lovely patina to them but you’d never use them in your kitchen so what would you do with them? Well, now I know what I’d do with rusty old graters if I see them – buy them and pop them over a tealight to …

A simple way to decorate your wedding reception tables with jars of seasonal flowers and cake stand arrangements
Apologies for the rather brief (and belated) blog post this morning – I’ve been having rabbit crisis at home with my littlest bunny not very well, so back and forth to the vets. That being said, I wanted to bring you some inspiration and I’ve chosen this picture about as a beautiful example of why you don’t need to go over-the-top decorating your reception tables. Sometimes you see these incredibly luxurious wedding reception tables, where there are flowers simply overflowing and you can barely see the tables for all the decorations, crockery, and wedding favours.

A living lavender table plan for a summer wedding and how to create it yourself
Firstly a big warm welcome if you are coming here today for the first time – I do hope you’ll find lots of ideas and inspiration to help you plan your wedding.

Small blackboards display the table numbers – you can get them on pegs so you could clip them to the side of the pot, or on sticks that can …

If you haven’t heard what’s planned, do have a read of this blog post. I can’t help but think of Keats when I look at this wedding cake, and rose bowers, something I’m sure I remember studying at school when reading his poetry. Whether my my memory is correct or not, it’s is a stunning cake with its cascading pink roses …

I seem to be going down a bit of wedding table theme at the moment – if you haven’t seen my recent blog post on dinner party style wedding table layouts do have a look for some inspiration.
