Wedding Event with a Difference!

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!

Spring Fever!


I absolutely love it when the Spring flowers arrive at the market. All of a sudden I feel inspired to create fresh new arrangements in simple white and pastel shade containers and fill every room in my house with Spring colour and scent!
I love the gorgeous sherbert shades of ranunculus, the fragrance of pastel hyacinths, happy looking daffodils and tulips that seem to bow and wave in a friendly fashion!
After a cold, dull winter, what could be better than a wedding full of colour and scent, touched by the first soft rays of Spring sunshine?
I love to bring the outdoors in...last year I raided my garden for these lovely cherry blossom branches which made a lovely feature in my living room until my husbands hay fever kicked in...I tried to persuade him to take one for the team but I lost and the cherry blossom returned to the garden!

Cherry blossom can look amazing for larger table centrepieces to make a statement but it also looks great as smaller cuttings in simple enamel jugs and jars...

The sherbert shades look great in plain white vases for your wedding table...

The lemon shades of this ranunculus and tulip bouquet and table arrangement look amazing when paired with duck egg blue and mint accessories...

Late Spring sees the arrival of gorgeous peonies which always look dreamy and romantic ...if only they were available year round!
