White clover flower crown for a simple country wedding
Along with the rest of the wedding blogging world I’ve been a bit enamoured with flower crowns (or however you wish to describe them) for a while now – delightfully without realising I fell into this trend early on with one of my flowergirls wearing a gorgeous garland of flowers in her hair for our wedding. Usually they are quite bold and attention grabbing, or delicate and fragile strings of daisies. This one is all together different I think, and perhaps my favourite so far – a simple garland of white clover flowers. Growing up predominately in the countryside of …

Dinner party style wedding reception tables for a relaxed and welcoming meal
I haven’t written much on wedding reception tables and layouts, but these two pictures made me want to share some of my thoughts. What I really love about these reception tables is that they are laid out for small numbers and in a way that makes each table feel like it is expecting a dinner party. Most of the weddings I have been to have had large round tables of 10 of more people, and whilst round tables allow you to see everyone you’re sat with, I don’t feel they allow you to talk easily to anyone other than the …

Photobooth and brown luggage tag wedding invitations and how you can make your own
If you don’t want to do anything too complicated for your wedding invitations then this idea might be perfect for you, whilst still being fun and personal to you as a couple. A photobooth style strip of pictures (with details on the back) and a brown luggage tag fastened together with string. Making the photobooth style pictures Both these items could be printed at home – there are lots of photo programmes that allow you to make collages like these (I like Photoscape which is free to download), so you could take some pictures and put them into a collage …

Seasonal spring wedding flowers and their meanings for an alternative Valentine’s Day
With Valentine’s Day tomorrow I know I ought to be showering you all with romantic, heart-shaped, red rose inspired ideas. I’m hoping that because you are here, reading this blog, you know that I like to try and go about things a bit differently. I’m not hugely into Valentine’s Day and all the fuss that comes with it, so I was quite delighted when an email from Rachel at Catkin Flowers dropped into my inbox about the romanticism and language of flowers. I shall hand you over to Rachel from Catkin Flowers… Since antiquity, flowers have accompanied us in every …

Wearing tiny flowers in your hair for a natural wedding look
Floral crowns, garlands, headpieces – however you describe them – are incredibly popular for weddings at the moment. I think it’s lovely that people want to wear flowers in their hair, especially these crowns of flowers that have that boho, natural look. However, I still love tiny touches of flowers, for those of you, like me, you aren’t one for making big statements with a mass of enormous blooms on your head. This is a beautiful example of how subtle flowers in your hair can still look as lovely as something more bold. These tiny fresh flowers look like they …

A super simple alternative to time-consuming wedding place cards
There’s a lot of love on this blog for luggage tags, perhaps too much and you are all bored of them by now? I know that for place cards they work really well, handstamped or handwritten, for me they just look lovely. But it is nice to see something refreshing (you must tell me if you want to see different things!), and this idea caught me for its pure simplicity. Stuff place cards! Just write your guests name on a place mat made from a sheet of brown paper. I know you can buy recycled brown paper at A4 size, …

A ‘novel’ idea for a table plan using old books
I’m not a huge fan of going with wedding ideas that don’t mean much to you or that don’t have relevance to you as a couple. It seems rather daft to use things simply for the sake of it, when there must be so many other ideas out there that do mean something to you that can be incorporated into your wedding day. So I’m not suggesting this is an idea for everyone, but its a pretty clever idea I think – perfect if you are a book lover, or perhaps you met in a University library. This table plan …
