  • Mood Board Monday #8 – Ice Cream Sundae

    Posted in Design Concepts

    I first had the inspiration for this design concept a couple of weeks ago during the heat wave when trying to keep cool with ice lollies and ice cream! It’s a very relaxed board that would be ideal for couples looking for something quirky and informal, and is all about having fun in the sun.

    Your wedding shoes are important accessories for your wedding attire, particularly if you are opting for a shorter dress and they will be on show for the whole day. Most brides tend to opt for ivory or white to match their dress, but recently I’ve noticed a trend over in the United States for brightly coloured shoes.

    July 7 Memorial in Hyde Park

    Today we remember the 52 innocent people who lost their lives and the hundreds more who were injured in the London terror attacks 4 years ago. Let us hope that one day our world will be a safer and more peaceful place to live.

  • Mood Board Monday #7 – Apple Green and White

    Monday, July 6th, 2009

    Check out our new July design concept . After the recent heatwave I wanted to create a board that celebrated summer and had a refreshing feel, without the traditional ‘hot’ summer colours like reds, pinks and yellows. Hence a rustic outdoor setting, lots of understated details and a fresh apple green colour scheme.

    I recently came across this gorgeous wedding over on Once Wed, which was held in the Californian desert on an old Western movie set. I am loving everything about this wedding, but the bouquet of succulents particularly caught my eye…
