Pinterest - Bride's best friend

I love Pinterest - so many wonderful ideas to adapt on there and 

so very useful for the bride to be. 

Plus, the great thing is, if I'm helping to style someones wedding, they can let me have access to their secret pinterest wedding page and I can then get a feel for exactly what they love by what they pin! 

I can also send pictures that I think they might be interested in so if you're stuck for inspiration then come follow us on pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/anniefloribunda/ 

and set up your own secret wedding page. 

 You can also visit out Facebook page at

Look forward to seeing you there! 

Martin Lewis Style Wedding Flowers!!!...

I felt good today. It's been a lovely, crisp, (dare I say it?), Spring day in Lincolnshire and my spirits were lifted every time I caught sight of the bunch of daffodils and tulips on the windowsill. 

It got me thinking, that not many spring brides seem to consider daffodils for their wedding flower. Yet they are so sunny, so bright and soooooooo cheap. 

The perfect flower for a rustic, country wedding. 

Imagine, jugs full of them on each table or all the way down the aisle - 

you could afford to go really over the top - 

plus if you get them from Tesco at the moment, 20p from each bunch goes to cancer charities - 

I've added a piece of vintage lace and a button to mine to make them into a beautifully simple bridal posy... 

 I'm going to add some gypsaphelia to this bunch tomorrow - 

pop back and take a look :-) 

Weddings don't have to cost a fortune to be beautiful!

Bride on a budget????

Are you, or do you know someone who is a bride on a very tight budget? 
If so, I think you're going to like this...

Those of you who know me, know that I am a wedding venue decorator and also that I love to craft. 

Weddings can be very expensive events - but I hope to show you how you don't have to spend thousands for a truly, magical wedding. 

Handmade bunting from scraps of fabric and lace -
perfect for the wedding day and to decorate your bedroom afterwards.

Over this year, I want to share with you ways that you can save by becoming a DIY bride! Each month I will choose a special subject (e.g. buttonholes, save the date cards, decorations, guest book etc) and will show you how you can make your own and save pounds. I'm giving some of my secrets away too, of ways to save on all aspects of your big day and will be adding links that you can source materials/ideas from too. 

There will also be "giveaways" and competitions that you can enter - so don't miss out on the chance to get some wedding freebies too! Simply follow our blog and comment on our posts to be entered in the prize draws. We want to know what you think and if there is a particular wedding item/subject you want us to post on then please just leave a comment. 

I will be advertising my own special offers/competitions  from my wedding website and Facebook page too :-) 

See you mid January...
