Firstly, apologies for being such an appalling blogger!! It's been such a hectic couple of months of weddings but that does mean that I will have a whole lot of loveliness to show you over the next few weeks! I thought I'd start with some gorgeous images sent over by the lovely Rachael Connerton of last months Wedding Event with a Difference at The Nottingham Conference Centre. The girls from Save the Date Magazine put on such an amazing event and I had the privilege of styling the catwalk and speakers corner for them. I decided to use lots of beautiful spring colours, creating a paper lantern ceiling, bunting lined catwalk, pretty parasols and pompoms and a speakers corner backdrop of fabric hoops! Hope you enjoy!

Fabric Theatre created this amazing ribbon backdrop which was perfect with all the other details!

Come back soon, I've got lots more to show you!

2013 is definitely going to be a year full of colour! With gorgeous coloured gowns on the catwalk and rainbow accessories everywhere, there’s no end of ways to bring some bold, bright colour into your wedding day.

If you’re not feeling brave enough to move away from a traditional white dress, why not choose bright, mismatched dresses for your bridesmaids?

These dresses look stunning when accessorized with different coloured bouquets and shoes for each bridesmaid!

Or how about a colourful bouquet for you?

Even the groom and groomsmen can have some fun with shoes or buttonholes!

Even simple parasols can be used to add a pop of colour!

Decorating a ceremony or reception space in this rainbow palette can be a challenge as you will want to avoid making it ‘tacky’ or overdone, but there are some really simple ways of creating a fun, colourful atmosphere...balloons, ribbons, paper lanterns and pinwheels are perfect for this...
