Vintage & lavender wedding inspiration board

Posted on November 30, 2011 by Claire

One thing: I absolutely can’t pos­si­bly let this one get away with­out mak­ing an inspi­ra­tion board, I thought. Nicola and Chris cre­ated a wed­ding that was true to their per­son­al­i­ties, full of cre­ativ­ity and character.

Pretty in Pink! Wedding inspiration board

Posted on November 11, 2011 by Claire

Some clas­sic pink wed­ding inspi­ra­tion from Suzy and Bruno’s Hen­grave Hall wedding…

Wed­ding inspi­ra­tion — Pretty in Pink

Choose a focus for your wed­ding dec­o­ra­tions — don’t spend a for­tune on every detail, but choose some­thing fab­u­lous that will be a real talk­ing point: in Suzy and Bruno’s case, the table cen­tre­pieces are stat­uesque and colour­ful with roses, feath­ers and foliage perched on glass pillars.

Keep your details ele­gant and sim­ple: a wed­ding table plan focus­ing on word art is a great idea. Suzy and Bruno chose sim­ple pink flow­ers for the four edges of their plan and an ornate black frame which I love.  Read more…

Posted on October 15, 2011 by Claire

Did you see Tanya and Andy’s coun­try­side wed­ding on the blog this week? I loved it so much I’ve turned the blog fea­ture into a three-day event! We’ve heard about camp­ing in the coun­try­side before the wed­ding day, about tam­bourines in church and the band play­ing around the camp­fire, about games and cakes and laven­der and campervans…

Wedding inspiration board: summer gold

Posted on September 8, 2011 by Claire

Yes­ter­day I fea­tured Emma and Tom’s wed­ding on the blog, a sophis­ti­cated and beau­ti­ful wed­ding at Cheshire’s lux­u­ri­ous Arley Hall. Behind the scenes I was hoard­ing some of the lovely detail pho­tos — wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Phil Drinkwa­ter sent me so many I was absolutely spoilt for choice.

Cue a wed­ding inspi­ra­tion board for any brides and grooms out there who are plan­ning an ele­gant, light and sum­mery gold theme for their day.

Posted on August 11, 2011 by Claire

Please do indulge my wed­ding inspi­ra­tion board phase… I absolutely love doing these right now! Per­haps it’s because I’m being sent so many bril­liant pho­tos at the moment. Wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers are such a gen­er­ous and cre­ative bunch of peo­ple :)

So — this is part 3 of Clau­dia and John’s wed­ding in Devon, on the Eng­lish Wed­ding blog. They com­bined their Aus­tralian her­itage with a vin­tage inspired, Eng­lish coun­try gar­den theme and cre­ated some­thing really spe­cial. Here’s how you can recre­ate that look for your own wed­ding day!

Get the look: English wedding

Posted on September 1, 2010 by Claire

There were so many beau­ti­ful pho­tos from Prema and Andy’s wed­ding ear­lier this week, I had to keep a few to share as a spe­cial fea­ture all of their own!

If you’re think­ing about a very Eng­lish wed­ding theme and need ideas to help you get the look, this will help! All pho­tos are by Vic­to­ria Phipps Pho­tog­ra­phy.

The wed­ding cake looks beau­ti­ful — rather than pil­ing flow­ers or dec­o­ra­tions onto the cake, choose a sim­ple design and sur­round it with bou­quets at your venue. A sim­ple top­per of fresh pink roses and peonies will fin­ish it beau­ti­fully. Photo credit: Vic­to­ria Phipps  Read more…
