A spring birthday party to celebrate five years of The Natural Wedding Company
It is with great pleasure that I get to share with you the photographs from The Natural Wedding Company’s 5th birthday party that took place recently. I’m not really sure where to start, so I’m just going to dive in and hope it all makes sense! March saw the website’s 5th anniversary of when I first launched it, so I knew a few celebrations were in order. As well as lots of exclusive offers and competitions on the blog, most excitingly, a party was dreamt up. I wanted a party with a group of likeminded girls, some recently married, others …

Multi-coloured hole punch confetti in mini brown paper envelopes
Confetti is a must at most weddings, with many of us now loving the beautiful petal confetti that’s now available, especially the British grown and naturally dried stuff. But if you’re not really of the dried petal confetti type and you want something a little different why not have some multi-coloured hole punch confetti and seal it in tiny brown envelopes. I do imagine though, that it takes a lot of hole punching to make enough confetti for a wedding – perhaps a downside to this fun idea! If it is, you could always use this great idea of packaging your …

‘Paint us a garden’ – a creative alternative to the traditional wedding guestbook
This is a fun alternative to the traditional wedding guestbook where people leave you a message – instead, set up a large canvas with a selection of paints and brushes, and ask your guests to create a piece of artwork for you. At this wedding the guests were ask to ‘grow the bride and groom a garden’, but you could pick any kind of scene that meant something to you. Perhaps if you are particularly fond of hiking you could get everyone to paint you a mountain vista, or if you love the ocean, an underwater scene. It’s pretty much …

An ode to violets – creative ideas for using dainty violets at your spring wedding
Ever since Rachel from Catkin Flowers planted a seed in my head about violets being in season in April I have wanted to do a blog post on them. It seems more appropriate than ever because they are poking out their pretty faces all over my garden at the moment. I’m not sure that violets are big enough to make a bridal bouquet, but there are other lovely ideas I came across, and I’ve included a couple of viola/heartsease images because I couldn’t find a tremendous amount of violet ideas (I’m also quite picky with what I choose to share …

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 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. My bit of inspiration for today is for anyone having a summer wedding and who doesn’t want a traditional paper table plan. This idea is really sweet, using white painted pots, filled with lavender plants as a table plan. 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 …

Homemade vanilla extract wedding favours with a family recipe card for pancakes
A super sweet idea for wedding favours – as a food lover this is one of the nicest ideas I think I’ve seen – a tiny bottle of vanilla extract with a family recipe for homemade pancakes. It’s a lovely present you can make yourself, especially dreaming up the little cards for the recipe, and a really nice way to share something from your family with your friends and other family members. The only downside is the cost of vanilla extract, so perhaps a better idea for smaller weddings. I also had to share the picture of how these little …
