Mood-Boards & Styling Ideas

Mood-Boards & Styling Ideas

I thought that with the snow outside, it would be a good time to start thinking about Spring & the start of the Wedding Season.... I can't wait to be honest!

I'm sharing a recent mood-board that started as a design outline for a couple. Boards such as this are a great way of focusing on what exactly it is that you have in mind. It will help you visualise your day & in some instances, once you've seen everything together, you may decide that this isn't what you wanted at all!! .... It's potentially a great cost saving exercise to stop you booking things that you later have to cancel....

They can be pulled together easily on-line or you can have great fun collecting pictures from magazines (not so great on the cost saving front..but nice anyway!). It's a great way of pulling out ideas & styles for your Unique day. If you can find time to do this, certainly for your venue styling, flowers & cake, it will save you hours in the long run & it will give your suppliers the best possible chance of delivering your day, exactly the way you wanted it..

Most good Wedding Planners will start with a mood-board so they can be 100% sure that they are going to select the best suppliers for your style & budget...

'Something Blue'

"Something Blue..."

As the famous tradition states; 'Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue'. It seems to me that by adding the palette of aqua blue it can add a glamourous edge to your special day. This look is perfect for any bride wanting to create the WOW factor with a cool splash of classic blue that will inject elegance and cultivated beauty in to any wedding.

Why stop there? We all know that diamonds will always be a girls best friend (taking Chocolate out the equation - of course!) so why not frost your day in aqua diamonds? Now, we all know its not always possible to shower your guests in the real thing but I have handpicked some excellent alternatives to really make your day sparkle:

'Love Bouquets'

www.lovebouquets.co.uk

'Love Bouquets' creates stunning one-off bouquets that will compliment your theme perfectly, not only do they create original pieces they can also personalise it using pieces belonging to the bride; why not convert your 'something old' in to 'something new'?

*

'Glitzy Secrets'

www.Glitzysecrets.com

The Glitzy Secret's collection provides beautiful jewelry inspired from era's in the past, why not complete your perfect dress with some jewel-dropping chandelier earrings that will stun all your guests, and not to mention - look fab in your photo album!

*

'Cakes by Beth'

www.cakesbybeth.co.uk

These beautifully hand crafted cakes are truly stunning and would create a stunning centerpiece to your wedding.

No wedding will ever be the same with Unique but diamonds will always be the stone of everlasting love - which is not a bad impression to leave your guests with is it?
