Belle Amour: Wedding Ideas Less of the traditional. More of the original.

Hope everybody’s had a lovely Christmas! I’ve been insanely busy since I flew home for Christmas. It’s been wonderful… full of family and friends and I’ve barely been in the house long enough to sit down let alone to blog. I’ll be back before long though and until then here are just a few links I was looking at, and loving, earlier…

The dress! I am in love with the dress!

Such a sweet altar in this Vermont wedding.

Red and white. Perfect Christmassy colours for this dessert table.

So, this makes me want a boyfriend so badly!

This wedding isn’t particularly wintery but it’s the marriage of two of the best in the wedding business and I’m so happy for them :)

This would be an amazing flavour choice for a Christmas-wedding cake.

Cosy Christmas inspiration.

Lake Louise = wow!

Here’s hoping you all enjoy the last few days of 2011! :)

If you’re looking for some last minute inspiration for wrapping those Christmas presents or a way to prettify favour boxes at a wedding then perhaps you’ll find some ideas from a round-up I featured last year. I do love a bit of gorgeous giftwrapping :)

With Christmas fast approaching and lots of presents to wrap I was inspired to do a round up of gorgeous features focused on pretty packaging. I know in the end the wrapping’s likely to end up in the bin but I’m such a huge fan of pretty and love gift wrap with wow factor!

Just look at all these pretty parcels…

Rubber-stamped ribbons.

Scrabble tile tags & a slideshow of even more ideas.

Beautiful brown paper & buttons.

Use up them plastic grocery bags!

I LOVE pompoms!

An alternative to gift tags.

Stripy & chic.

Although these ideas use giftwrap and trimmings from Anthropolgie you could still find similar bits elsewhere. And you should definitely watch the video:

Delightful doilies!

Map wrap.

Cherry red & frosty blue beautifulness.

The cutest FREE gift tags! Go download them :)

Subdued & stunning!

Of course a lot of these ideas can easily transfer to your wedding; for decoration around your reception or for when it comes to wrapping favours. So, a perfect indulgence of my love of Christmas without completely going off the wedding topic. Awesome!
