The Best of Martha Stewart Weddings

Welcome back to the week my lovelies. Did you have a good one?  This weekend I spent a fun time perusing the bible that is Martha Stewart Weddings.  I've pulled some of my favourite weddings together for you to create a little something special... I like to call this montage: garden glamour.

The most amazing wedding dress

All I have to say is..... THIS DRESS!  Layers and layers of beautiful silk from Amsale makes for a dramatically beautiful gown don't you think?

Perfect White Wedding Dresses

Sometimes there is nothing else to say except ... le sigh!  This white wedding shoot by Judy Pak and Frost Photography is nothing short of whimsical and totally beautiful. PS. For more wedding fun be sure to check out the huge plethora of ideas from the wedding gallery!

How to Get Creative With your Wedding Photography

Welcome back to the week, how was your easter break?  Today we are going back into the archives to look at some amazing wedding photography featured in Green Wedding Shoes.  What struck me about this vignette is just how lovely it can be to get a little creative with your wedding photography.  And it's not as scary as you think to get - why don't you talk to your wedding photographer about de saturated tones, creative cropping or interesting positions?  And don't be afraid to take a mood board of shots you love - it's a great way to ensure all parties are clear on what you want to get out of the day! 

Simple Understated Wedding Gowns

Say hello to the Whitney Deal's beautifully done 2012 bridal collection.  With an understated chicness to her designs Whitney is the perfect choice for a bride who wants something sweet and simple.  I'm obsessed with her Peter Pan collar and pin tucking details in the first gown - it's amazing right?  Tell me, what's your favourite dress?

Wedding Trends Bright Neons

The NEON trend hit the fashion world last year and of course is now being translated into wedding world and we are seeing these bright pops of colour becoming increasingly and boldly used. 

I think, as a designer, the key element when using these fabulous and riotous colours is to tone it down with the cooler colours, whites works with me all the time!

 We have the soft greys combined with the zingy yellows, citrusy greens combined with plenty of whites and pops of hot pinks and cobalt blues combined with paler shades of nude pinks and whites.

Get it right and the end results will be fabulous and make a strong colour statement, get it wrong and it will be a mess of riotous colours!

This style is funky though and would suit a young and retro bride, we have a few weddings with strong colour statements in this year, mainly the bright yellow but just little details here and there which will be stunning.

Do you Like These New Veil Ideas?

I was so delighted to see the new 2012 collection for Twigs & Honey.  They are such a great source for veils, caplets, headpieces and more and I was blown away by their latest offering. It took them a year to develop so each piece could lovingly be created. I'm quite traditional in always steering towards a long elegant veil but some of these birdcage veils have got me rethinking my choice.  What's your pick of the new collection?
