No. 13: Finishing Touches and Coming Up!

Days to go: 39

It’s get­ting close! And I’m still bored of waiting!

Last night Richard and I got down to some seri­ous busi­ness with sort­ing out some of the fin­ish­ing touches for the wed­ding day.

There he is!

I knew there was a rea­son why I always keep boxes that I get things deliv­ered in. A decent sized All Saints box was given the vin­tage music treat­ment and is now our wed­ding card box for the day!

We’ve almost fin­ished the table plan — I just need to find some dark red rib­bon to stick around the edges to really make it look spe­cial.

No. 4: Table Plan Board Stage 1

Days to go: 70

A quickie today (as I’m still feel­ing pretty dire and can’t see prop­erly out of my left eye!) — yes­ter­day Richard and I bus­ied our­selves with the first stage of build­ing our table plan board!

A while ago I found some real vin­tage music on eBay — on the theme of love! — for around £2 per song, which we cut up and glued to an A1 mount board (found in Ryman sta­tion­ers for £7.99).

Et voila!

Lisa’s stand was a busy one at The Wed­ding Show on Sat­ur­day, and we barely had time to say hello and admire one of her beau­ti­ful table plans. What did strike me imme­di­ately was the qual­ity of her wed­ding sta­tionery. Invi­ta­tions were beau­ti­fully made, table plans flaw­less, and there was an air of ele­gance and sophis­ti­ca­tion about the exhi­bi­tion stand.

Rebekah Daley delights

Char­lotte & Matt’s Wilt­shire wed­ding recep­tion actu­ally made me squeak with delight when I saw Rebekah Daley’s designs fea­tured. I’ve admired Rebekah ever since I set up my own wed­ding busi­ness — as a cal­lig­ra­pher I illus­trate flow­ers and abstract designs on wed­ding poems. It’s noth­ing com­pared to Rebekah’s tal­ents: I’d LOVE to be able to draw the ele­gant bridal por­traits Rebekah excels at. These are sim­ply divine!

My favourite cou­ture wed­ding invi­ta­tion by Rebekah Daley

I caught up with Rebekah Daley at the week­end and she told me, “We have worked with some won­der­ful and cre­ative brides, from Grace Kelly and Marie Antoinette inspired wed­dings to vin­tage mini cooper table décor and pink Parisian themes.”

Wedding ideas: inspired by art

This last post of the week inspired by Helen and Paul’s fan­tas­tic Shot­tle Hall wed­ding is all about art-inspired wed­ding sta­tionery.

Two of Chris Hanley’s pho­tographs really made me smile, and got me think­ing about how UK brides can use art in their wed­ding themes. The log­i­cal start­ing point is wed­ding invi­ta­tions of course — so here are some of my favourite ideas for you.

These are the pho­tos that inspired this feature:
