New Wives Club Christmas Special: quirky illustrated recycled wrapping papers and tapes from Alice Palace

Charlie

Have you wrapped your Christmas gifts yet? If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you’ll know that I’m way behind this year due to some home renovation, but I’m looking forward to getting festive this coming week when hopefully all will be finished. Yey!

My wrapping paper of choice is most often a simple brown paper parcel tied up with raffia, but when I saw these from Alice Palace with their beautiful hand-drawn images I was in love.

Decorated with joyous festive images such as robins, mince pies, geese, holly berries, Christmas puddings and even a lovely snow bunny – they are so fun and I’m sure your family and friends would be delighted to received parcels wrapped up in this paper. What’s even better is that Alice Palace’s wrapping paper is made from 100% recycled paper and printed using vegetable inks.

A wildflower meadow grown especially for a wedding on an organic farm

Charlie

Can you believe it – this stunning wildflower meadow was grown especially for a wedding on this pretty organic farm? I’m a bit bowled over and hadn’t even considered that a florist might be able to grow you a wildflower meadow especially for your wedding.

I’m sure ordinary florists can’t, but this is what I think is so fantastic and special about the wonderful businesses listed on the directory. Some of them can grow you a wildflower meadow, like this one which was grown by Charlie Ryrie of The Real Cut Flower Garden for a bride who wanted colourful meadow flowers sweeping up to their reception in that stunning dome.

I’m in awe. And wishing I could get married again, to Mr Rigg of course, but just do it all over again and steal these wonderful ideas. Nothing more can be said.

Plant a tree to remember your wedding day with the new Tree Campaign from World Inspired Tents

Charlie

This summer World Inspired Tents, one of the wonderful businesses listed on the directory, launched their Tree Campaign. It’s a simple idea – everyone who books their tents received a tree sapling.

So once the excitement of your wedding day is over and you’ve enjoyed a wonderful evening beneath the romantic tipi canvases, you can get home and plant your tiny tree and have a lasting reminder of your happy day. Each tree sapling comes wrapped in hessian, tied with string and with a personalised card (recycled, of course).
