Gold Headpieces

For those of you whom follow wedding blogs i am sure you are all well aware, but in case you haven't been noticing it...GOLD is in.

It has been popping up every where. From cutlery, to stationary, table runners, and vases, gold is making an appearance in weddings more often than not.

If we step away from the table and focus on the bride, one trend we are loving at the moment is the good headpiece. I am finding it hard to classify exactly what style these are.... They are all so unique they seem to fit seamlessly into an assortment of wedding styles.


This one is super sweet and a DIY job!

Mint Condition

Last week we blogged about Emerald being the colour of 2013. But Emerald's not the only shade of green we see making a big impact next year. Without a doubt, mint is one of our picks to be the top trend in weddings in 2013.  It is feminine, yet fresh, and sits perfectly with a myriad of other colours.

You know when you decide you love something - and then you start to notice it. Everywhere. You. Go.? That's me right now with the colour 'mint'. I'm wanting clothes and nail-polish in the spearmint shades, I'm drawn to soft sorbet green paint swatches at Bunnings as I try to renovate my house, and of course I want to use it in weddings!

Below are some of our favourite minty wedding inspiration pics.  

Glam: Mint & Gold



Girly: Mint & Pink/Peach

Shiny (untarnished) Precious Gold

If you've been following our work, you'll probably have seen some of our rustic styling. Many of brides that we meet lean towards this look, and request rustic touches like hessian, wood, vintage jars and bottles, handmade signage, etc.  We love things that look a little worn, are a little tarnished, and have a lot of character - and it seems many brides do too.

As much as we love our rustic collection, there are many other styles that we adore equally, so we thought that over our next few blog posts we'd share some of these. We want to provide some inspiration, some of our ideas of the upcoming trends in colour and style. 

Today, we're starting with Gold. Not tarnished rustic vintage gold that you might have seen us play around with. Nope, here's some bright shiny sparkle to brighten your day! 

Sparkly dresses -
These work for both the bride AND the bridesmaids. Best for an evening event, some sequins or sparkles will add a touch of glam to your event. And you're sure to glow throughout the night!

Gold Cakes -
One of our favourite trends is gold cakes. Even if you aren't using much 'metal' in your day, a shining cake is enough to add a real pop of bling!





Invitations - 
Printing in metallic is not easy, so don't try this at home kids! That said, when done well, it looks swell!

Centrepieces
Add some sine to your tables by displaying flowers in metallic vessels. Vintage vases, or even spray painted tin cans. You could also consider a sparkly table runner.

Other decoration - 
Here are some other ways to add some sparkle.. in the form of backdrops and other decorative bits and pieces.

NYE Inspiration: Champagne & Sparklers

NYE is nearly here! It's a much anticipated night of the year.. but it's also often dreaded as a night with too many people, too few taxis and too much pressure to have fun (forced fun is never that fun!).

That's why this year, we're avoiding the crowds. Instead, we're staying in with some of our dearest friends and are preparing for a shimmery, sparkly dinner party at home.
We plan to countdown the hours to the new year, whilst reliving the moments and memories from 2011 and enjoying great food, drink and music with our besties.

Here's some of the inspiration for our table decor. We've been guided by the gold of the ever-present NYE elements: champagne and sparklers!

We'll be sure to share some snaps of the final product with you next week /next year!
