Unique Wedding Planning / Inspiration / Bridesmaids / Dresses / Ideas

It’s important for your bridesmaids to be comfortable on your special day, after all, they will be running around after you for most of it!

You may have a set colour & style for your bridesmaids or you may go for a variation of styles, within the same colour palette or even the same style in different colours – As long as you have something that pulls everything together, like the flowers for example- anything goes…

Here are a few ideas

 

 

 

I really like how the girls in these pictures all have a different dress to suit them; you want them to look & feel good too ..

 

The girls here are all wearing the same dress in the same colour however all have the top tied differently which gives them all a sense of individuality

 

 

If you can’t decide on a colour, who says you need too?

 

 

 

I just love this!

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you’ve chosen a colour, why not have variations of it from the same palette … I love this overall look

 

 

 

Don’t forget the flower girls!

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you like some of these ideas as much as I do! I think there are some amazing designs that will be perfect to suit every unique wedding day!

Unique Wedding Planning / Wedding Cakes / Inspiration / Ideas

This week I have been looking at so many different ideas for wedding cakes

Just look at these amazing chocolate creations!

 

I love these too that add such a modern twist to the traditional iced cake

Proving popular this summer is the naked wedding cake - They have a real vintage feel to them and still have the same wow factor as a more traditional cake. I love the way people choose to incorporate the use of flowers and fruit too

Another really different approach I came across was this idea of having two cakes!

A cake for the Bride and a cake for the Groom! This picture has a really modern feel and is very simplistic. It could be a really good idea if you want to have a few different flavors of sponge

I hope some of these ideas have caught your eye!

Watch out for more wedding ideas and inspiration!

Unique Wedding Planning / Entertaining the kids / Ideas / Inspiration

Weddings are long days for anybody ….. especially for children!

If there are a number of children present at a wedding it’s important to keep them entertained .. luckily there are so many good ideas around to help you do this …

An idea that I love is supplying each child at the wedding with their own disposable camera. This instantly makes them feel they have a role in the day and will keep them busy
You could leave them to do their own thing or turn it into a game for them

  

You could supply the children with a list of shots to get by the end of the day … it will be interesting to see your wedding day from the child’s perspective

Keeping the kids entertained during the wedding breakfast is also important.
Another idea I like is supplying the kids with a gift bag on their chairs with small gifts inside. Things such as, games to play at the table, colouring books, crayons and bubbles! You’ll be surprised how long it keeps them busy ..and quiet through the speeches!

In any outside space it could be a great idea to leave a selection of games that they could play on a grassed area during the drinks receptions and for a run about after the meal

All these ideas are inexpensive, and well worth the investment..

Unique Wedding Planning/Ideas for the Groom/Inspiration/Unique Ideas 

Don't forget the Groom!!

It's his special day & he will want to look his best too ..

Many Grooms go for the traditional morning suit when choosing their wedding attire but more recently I have seen more and more people choosing a more relaxed approach & selecting suits that they'll be able to wear again

What I really like about this picture is the way each groomsman is wearing the same colour pallet yet wearing totally different ties, this is a really effective idea and gives each groomsman an individual edge

Another really simple but also effective idea is having the groom in a different suit to the rest of the groomsmen.

 My couples often ask me about gift ideas for their Best Man & Ushers. Personally I think that something that will be used everyday will make a great gift - even better if they can be personalised too 

I have come across some really unique ideas which I hope you like.

Unique Wedding Planning / Unique Ideas / Wedding Favors / Inspiration

Unique Wedding Planning / Wedding Favors / Unique Ideas 

Wedding Favors are a fantastic way of creating more to talk about on your special day! People think that wedding favors are limited to a small box of confectionery, this is not the case!

Favors are a great way of showing your appreciation to your guests on your big day and there are so many things you can do! 

Even if you’re wanting to take the confectionery route why not do something different such as cakes or cookies? They can be made into a real feature on the table and boxed to look amazing.

I have also found a collection of personalized gifts. A bonus to these is that they are something that guests can take home and are something for them to keep and remember your day. 

 Not forgetting the kids! 

Weddings are extremely long days for children and they can end up becoming extremely restless, it is often a good idea to give the kinds something to do as a wedding favor. I have found some really good ideas which should keep them entertained and occupied.

I have managed to gain so many fantastic ideas from  using Pinterest, the images I have used I have gathered from there too!
