Floral & gold

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

The shoot I’m featuring today by Emilie, aka Amypunky Photography, is actually a fashion shoot for showcasing French company Jordane Lou. But there was a healthy dose of wedding inspiration in there which I wanted to share with you. I would love to go to a relaxed wedding like this, where guests sit on cushions and eat off low tables, it’s definitely an interesting alternative to the traditional fancy dining which is a little too posh for me! Of course this works better outdoors, where there’s always the threat of rain in the UK, but maybe you could construct a huge canopy to shelter under… anyway, I’m dreaming now so I’ll just get on with the images…

How great are those paper lanterns dotted around too?! A simple and cheap way to decorate a space. I’ve just showed the more weddingy inspiration, there are more images of this shoot over here if you fancy a look :)

Mad men & a pink parachute

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Whereas once it was all meringue-type, white dresses, now people are choosing to wear whatever they want on their wedding day. With that in mind I have two very different bridal styles for you today courtesy of fab photographer Anna from Ausnippets.

Mad Men

The first is inspired by the TV show Mad Men. Now I must admit I have never watched this show! From what I’ve heard I imagine I’d love it but I missed it when it begun and I just can’t watch shows unless I capture them from the very beginning. So it’s had to go on the long list of shows that I missed the first episode of, but that one day I’ll buy the DVD boxset for!

Anyway, this look, you don’t need to have watched 1960s-set Mad Men for; it is a classically beautiful vintage look and perfect for those in want of a shorter more streamlined dress…

Hat: Jane Taylor Millinery
Stylist: Kate Anya Barbour

Pink parachute

Perhaps an unusual title, although not so much when you discover the next dress was made from an actual parachute! I really love the contrasting blue underskirt and the complementary beret and think this would make such an incredible bridal outfit!

Sasha & Laura : Smog Shoppe, California : Part 2

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

I’m back! With the second instalment of Sasha & Laura’s amazing day (first part here)! Wedding Designer Jesi Haack did an absolutely fantastic job with this wedding. Sasha & Laura wanted to reflect both of their cultures in their wedding day and so Russian dolls and fortune cookies were a brilliant choice with the colour pink tying them together! I’ve loved Russian dolls, or matryoshka dolls, since I was a child, the tinier the smallest doll the better! I love seeing them in a wedding, they’re so pretty and colourful. And for those of you taken with the fortune cookie idea then here’s a tutorial to make your own!

I am also in awe of the parasols adorning the ceiling, it makes an otherwise dull space into a feature worthy of photographing! The wool wrapped hearts are another super-sweet touch. You could make these simply by cutting a heart shaped piece of MDF or even corrugated cardboard and wrapping a ball of wool around it until the whole thing is covered. Then just add painted wooden initials that you will be able to source from craft shops. Adorable!

And then there’s the sweet table created by My Sweet & Saucy! And wow is that a perfect blend of dessert and design! The feather boa background in a gradient of shades, the glittered letters, the cartoon couple on the cake, the iced bow with the gold centre, the silver and pink macaroons… can you see why I love weddings?! :)

Sasha & Laura : Smog Shoppe, California

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

I have an incredible wedding to share with you today thanks to Candice & Mark of Mark Brooke Photography. This is exactly the type of wedding that leaps out at me. The type of wedding I could imagine myself having. And a perfect example of how to reflect yourself in your wedding: something I will always be a fan of!

The details are beautiful: from the hot pink shoes, fabric and feather bouquet and the stunning dress…

… to the amazing venue! I love wedding photos with added interest and if you’re not getting married in a church with opulent surroundings then sometimes the backdrop can be rather boring. So many couples are now creating what I call ‘alternative altars’ to wed before and creating stunning photographs in the process. The Smog Shoppe has its own awesome ‘alternative altar’ which really adds to the images; I love the wall of plants!

And what amazing images of Sasha & Laura! I adore the black and white shot of her gazing at him during the ceremony and I love the confetti shot!

This afternoon I’ll be sharing the reception details of this gorgeous day and trust me you will not want to miss it!

Inspiration Board: Pastel Pink Perfection

Monday, April 12th, 2010

My first inspiration board was for a bright and bold wedding. This one is for all the girly girls who wouldn’t want their wedding day to be anything other than romantic pastel perfection. It’s for those that want soft and pink and stunning:

Inspiration Board: Pastel Pink Perfection

Pastel Pink Perfection

Here’s a few of my ideas to help you achieve a Pastel Pink Perfection wedding:

Stationery: Romantic and elegant. Stationery from The Hummingbird Card Company would suit.

Bride: A delicate tiara. Loose curls for long hair: think pretty and not overdone.

Bridesmaids: A pale pink with polka dots or ruffles or lace or a corsage.

Shoes: Pastel pink or white. Delicate, strappy sandals would achieve the elegant look.

Flowers: Anything pale and interesting. I love the peonies in the picture: the palest pink and white and layers upon layers of petals.

Groom/groomsmen: A simple pink flower will do it! Or a pale, pale pink tie. Can’t go too overboard on the romantic look for guys!

Decoration: Get on eBay and start collecting vintage chandeliers. It doesn’t matter if they are all different they will look awesome when put together, ideally hanging above long tables for your guests. If they’re the wrong colour then spray them the right colour! White pots of flowers in shades of pink such as in the pic look very stylish. For tablecentres go for cylindrical vases wrapped in broderie anglaise (love this!) or lace with an array of pink and white blooms and pastel hued feathers. Menus displayed in vintage photo frames. And candlelight everywhere is a necessity!

Cake: Cupcakes may be a little too casual for this affair. I think mini cakes, such as those that Anna makes, would work though. Or how about a white multi-tiered cake with ornate white icing and pink peonies to decorate?

Favours: Homemade sugared marshmallows or fancy macaroons or even pink bonbons. Pop them in a cellophane bag (box for macaroons) and tie with a piece of fancy lace.

Other ideas: Being showered in rose petal confetti exiting the church would add a romantic touch to the day.
