Wedding colour trends 2015

Over the next few weeks we shall be picking and choosing our favourite pictures from the internet to show you how to work 2015's top trends and colours...

Here's the first...

MINT

We've chosen to mix it with pink and further down the page with pink and gold. 
But it also looks good with silver, blush and lavender, 

here's what we like so far...

Arrive in a pretty pink converted Herbie

Dress your bridesmaids in floaty mint green with pink corsages...

For more mature bridesmaids think of having corsages instead of posies, 

that can be worn on their dress, bag or wrist

Light the reception with paper lanterns and pom poms...

For the best effect use a lot in a small area rather than spreading them too thinly around the room. 

and serve your cakes on vintage china in a mismatch of pinks and mint...

Cakes are tall for 2015 and mismatched - Lots of different sizes and flavours 

- placed on tiered shelving or dedicated cake tables

or add some golds or silver and you have another 

completely bang on trend look ...

send out the invites to set the sparkling scene...

Urns are going to feature a lot in next years weddings decor- 

all shapes, sizes, colours and textures - we love these gold ones

Dress tables and chairs with gold accents, sequins and chiffons

Have a ribbon/sash backdrop made in your colours 

for behind your top table, gift or cake table

Add edible glitter to cake pops

and serve mini moets as favours 

or have them as a warm up on the morning of the wedding 

just for you and your girls 

Go tall with your cake - four and five tiers are predicted to be big for next year as are painted and "gilded" cakes

However you do it - 

we think that mint, pink and gold are a real winning combination! 

Pop back in May to see one of our real weddings, 

where the bride has chosen these colours to see what we do for her! 

Here's a taste of what'to come...

Cool Britannia!

I've been thiking about the Queens Diamond Jubilee

and what I should do to mark this special year.

I've decided that I am going to make a limited edition of

60

Jubilee Corsages

Each one will be unique, a one of a kind design,

they will all be red, white and blue

and will use materials, ribbons, buttons and beads from the last 60 years

in all of them!

Some will have a vintage feel, others will be contemporary,

Some will be for everyday wear (to the Olympics maybe to spur on our team?)

and some for very special occassions (Jubilee Ball or Night at the Proms).

I've also decied to give 10% of all sales on these corsages

to a charity.
If you want to nominate a charity then please
leave a comment underneath this post).

You can buy them from my Folksy shop

Burlesque Bride or Prom??

I'd just finished watching Moulon Rouge when I started to make this corsage - I love that film and all the gorgeous burlesque and bohemian clothing!

This corsage would be great for either an alternative groom or bridesmaid at a wedding and would look equally as gorgeous setting off a prom dress.
Made from a very realistic looking lily in deep pink against black feathers.
A spray of black beads, netting and glass beads finish it off.
This is a button hole corsage at the moment but i can add a brooch back or make it into a wrist corsage or hair clip if desired - please just message me.
Measures 27cms at longest point and 15cms at widest point.

£12.00
