Inspiration for a spring wedding menu featuring foraged wild leaves and edible flowers
Sometimes emails land in your inbox that totally inspire you, I had one such email last week from Sarah at Eat My Flowers with her ideas for floral inspired menu. Immediately I was dreaming up a spring wedding picnic based on her menu ideas and thought that you all might like to be inspired as well. Why not serve your wedding guests a slightly different take on the English afternoon tea, starting with dainty sandwiches filled with organic free range egg and wild hedgerow leaves. Almost too pretty to eat! Sarah suggests “Swap one layer of the free range egg mayonnaise …

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 …

Make your own natural spring wreath by finding inspiration in the hedgerows
Regular readers will know that on Sunday it was the TNWC 5th birthday party, which was held at my house with 11 lovely guests – all readers of the website and blog. I made a number of items for the party, which I hope to share with you, but to start with I wanted to share this natural hedgerow wreath I created. All the photos are taken on my phone so nothing fancy! My hedgerow wreath was created using hawthorn cuttings, mostly green ones, but I managed to find a few with the pretty white blossom already out. Before I …

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 …

A jug of English grown white tulips and branches of delicate blossom for a pretty spring wedding
It is lovely to be able to share some inspiration from one of the businesses listed on The Natural Wedding Company directory this afternoon. This beautiful spring arrangement of white tulips and branches of blossom was put together by the lovely Green and Gorgeous, and I think just captures this time of year. If I was getting married now, I would have jugs of these white tulips and blossom everywhere – such a simple combination but artfully arranged by Green and Gorgeous – and all seasonal and English grown, can you really get any better than that?

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 …

It is lovely to be able to share such a beautiful seasonal wedding full of handmade details, and one that took place in November. Photographed by Laura Babb, Dan and Ali’s November wedding was held at Folly Farm, a stunning green wedding venue set amongst 250 acres of woodland and nature reserve.
