The Wedding Event with a Difference!

Back in March, the girls at Save the Date Magazine put on another amazing show at The Nottingham Conference Centre. I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to style the catwalk again. I set to work making giant paper peonies which looked great as a backdrop for the catwalk entrance! I went parasol crazy and created a colourful canopy above the gorgeous seating area of vintage chairs provided by Poppy Trading. There were so many amazing suppliers this year...hope you managed to come along and meet them. These lovely images were taken by Rachael Connerton Photography...enjoy!














Bright & Beautiful!


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...
