Utterly gorgeous handmade winter wreaths from The Real Cut Flower Garden. I am certainly considering forgoing the traditional Christmas wreath in place of one of these.
Would also make a divine decoration at a winter wedding – perhaps on the entrance to the church or hall where you’re getting married, or just to decorate part of your venue.

Aren’t these ‘Wish Tickets’ from Hunter Gatherer just delightful?! The moment I saw them I could just imagine them as part of a whimsical wedding – either purely as decoration, incorporated into place settings or an element of a carnival themed invitation.

The lovely Clare of Pure Pampering has created a fantastic autumnal look that you can recreate yourself using gorgeous mineral cosmetics.
This look has been created by Clare Bryce, a professional makeup artist, who specialises in bridal styling and has attended 100’s of weddings!
Clare told me “Many brides love to have smoky eyes on their wedding day, this beautiful look is super stylish but will also have your groom captivated when he looks into your eyes!”
Get the look…
Start with sweeping a pale shade of eye shadow all over your eyelid, then work your mid shade shadow into the crease and blend.
To add the smouldering effect, add a black eye shadow into the outside corner. Add black eye liner to the top and lower lash line. Finishing with two coats of black mascara.
