Natural handmade corn lover’s knots, hearts and horseshoes for an eco-friendly country wedding
These pretty handcrafted corn hearts, lover’s knots and horseshoes are the latest items available from the Wedding in a Teacup online shop – aren’t they beautiful? I am always at risk of over-using the word ‘natural’ here, but I do love how ‘natural’ these items are, and according to Hester from Wedding in a Teacup they have centuries of British rural tradition behind them. If you’re planning an autumn wedding I can’t imagine many things more lovely than these to decorate your ceremony or reception venue with. In fact, it was my family church decorated for the harvest festival that inspired …

Vintage jelly moulds become chic clay tealight holders in the hands of potter Tom Gloster
I told you I had some beautiful finds and inspiration to share with you – just think I’ve been keeping these things to myself all this time! Aren’t I terrible? When I spotted these stunning handmade jelly mould tealights it was love at first sight and I will be most definitely treating myself to a couple in the near future. They are handmade in clay by potter Tom Gloster in his workshop garden shed in Wales, where he also runs a charming looking coffee and craft shop called Pethau Melys with textile designer Myfanwy Griffiths. When I saw them I instantly …

A pretty white lace flower holder perfect for DIY wedding flowers or displaying cut flowers at home
I spotted this on Etsy and thought it was not only very pretty but very useful, both if you’re planning a wedding and if you love cut flowers at home. Made by a non-profit organisation in Vancouver, Canada, this pretty ceramic disc sits atop your vase and holds your flowers in place by sliding them through the holes. I think it looks like a large button, and would not only be great for arranging a few pretty blooms for your wedding reception tables, but would be an item you used loads afterwards. They are on my wish list. You can buy them …

A Padstow-inspired stop motion animated ‘save the date’
It’s Sunday and I thought I would share something a bit different to the normal inspiration-type posts. This is an incredible animated ‘save the date’ from Charlie Scribble, one of the talented businesses you can find on the directory. Charlie Scribble can bring your wedding stationery to life with their stop motion animations like this Padstow inspired ‘save the date’ they created for one couple… As well as being incredibly cool and quirky, you eliminate the need to send out paper ‘save the dates’ to everyone, instead you can just email people the link, or if you have a wedding …

Vintage bottle shaped candles for your wedding table centrepieces
There are some truly wonderful and, in my opinion, sheer genius, ideas out there – these candles that have been shaped to look like a variety of old bottles and jars are one of those genius ideas. Made from beeswax to give that golden yellow honey colour (and an equally beautiful smell when lit), I think they would be a beautiful alternative to floral table centrepieces, especially on long tables where you could arrange them with their varying heights. The downside? They don’t seem to be available to buy anymore! They are created by Anthropologie (creators of many a beautiful, …

Paper flowers made from maps, sheet music and love letters
Today I get to share these beautiful paper flower creations from Moll and Mostin – a new business I’d not come across until recently and I most certainly fell in-love at first sight. Moll and Mostin is run by the lovely Lucy, who tells me she’s had a lifelong love affair with paper, vintage “and everything I can get my hands on at antique markets!” Starting out making greetings cards with the magazines and papers she’d collected, she soon started looking for uses for those bits that were left over. From here, Lucy began creating these beautiful vintage paper roses …
