Glitter graffiti

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

I came across this amazing post last night about glitter graffiti and had to share it with you! You probably know by know I’m a fan of incorporating some DIY goodness into your wedding day. And sometimes DIY could just mean stitching up a bit of bunting or rubber stamping your invites. But I love the idea of thinking big too. You could go all out and create an piece of art for your wedding day. It would wow your guests and make a brilliant backdrop to photos. And this glitter graffiti made up of sequins may be ambitious but I actually think it’s achievable…

Sparkly and stunning! If I ever get a house I’m quite tempted to glitter graffiti up the side of it!

Confetti cute

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Pinterest is great for stumbling across things you may have missed the first time around. This stupidly cute and colourful confetti-filled inspiration was featured in Styled magazine back in April but I’ve only just seen it. Doesn’t make me love it any less though. Especially as it’s entirely DIY-able…

How happy would you be if you got a wedding-day shot looking like that last one?!

Ruffled and romantic

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Romantic ruffles are a wedding trend I love. There are so many ways to introduce them into your wedding: ruffled dresses for the bride and/or bridesmaids, ruffled accessories, ruffled ribbons draped around the ceremony and reception or perhaps a ruffled cake. Any colour will work with ruffles but I’ve picked pretty, pink pictures today. And rather than just show you some lovely pictures… here’s where you can learn how to make the crepe paper streamers, here’s how to ice a ruffled cake and here’s how to make your very own ruffled necklace! I’m so good to you ;)

Bridal style : Summer Princess

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

There are three reasons why I wanted to share these stunning images with you. One, I love Alex Beadon and everything she creates. Any images of hers that I feel fit with the blog I will want to share :) Two, I love this look for a bride: simple floaty dress, flowers in the hair, natural-look make-up and a statement ring = amazing! And three, the weather has shifted in Toronto recently. More of the days are colder, windier and wetter and I fear we’re beginning to creep towards the long winter that everybody I’ve met here has warned me about! So I’m dreaming of summer days whilst it’s still possible. And these pictures, to me, are what a midsummer day’s dream looks like…

I am so in love with the light :)

Chair choice (or lack thereof)

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Perhaps you’re choosing mismatched chairs to create a lovely vintage look or maybe you’re frantically borrowing chairs off all your neighbours to save you some cash… either way, it looks good…
