Once you have decided on a date, drawn up a planning schedule and set your wedding budget, you’re ready to start organising your big day. The first thing on your list is to find a venue – this is a very important decision, so it’s worth taking plenty of time to make sure you find the perfect location. As part of our Planning Advice series, we examine the important questions to ask when considering wedding venues.

I think it’s fair to say that almost every bride wants the sun to shine on her wedding day. What, then, if the unthinkable happens and it rains? I came across this beautiful post over on Kiss the Groom, and it totally inspired me to write about how to cope with a wet wedding day. So how can you make sure wet weather doesn’t spoil your big day?

We’re taking things nice and leisurely this week after the wedding of the lovely Christine and Luke at the weekend. Christine hired us for a wedding day management service only a week ago, and on Sunday we were at the Royal Chace Hotel in Enfield to make sure everything went smoothly. We’ll have photos and a full report from the day in a couple of weeks, but today I wanted to share our new design concept of grey, pink and purple.
A pink colour scheme is a popular choice for weddings, with pastel shades providing a soft and romantic back-drop. However, many brides feel it will look a bit too ‘fluffy’ for a modern wedding, whilst lots of grooms have a strong aversion to wearing a girly colour! So today we’ve created a modern and stylish pink-themed board that would be perfect for a city wedding and that will avoid those “I’m not wearing pink, it’s a girl’s colour” comments!

I first had the inspiration for this design concept a couple of weeks ago during the heat wave when trying to keep cool with ice lollies and ice cream! It’s a very relaxed board that would be ideal for couples looking for something quirky and informal, and is all about having fun in the sun.

Your wedding shoes are important accessories for your wedding attire, particularly if you are opting for a shorter dress and they will be on show for the whole day. Most brides tend to opt for ivory or white to match their dress, but recently I’ve noticed a trend over in the United States for brightly coloured shoes. Before you gasp in horror at the thought, take a look at some of these photos…

Now I have to admit to not being the biggest fan of ring pillows, but I recently discovered Palomas Nest and just fell in love with their contemporary designs. They create customisable ceramic pieces, such as the Ring Bearer Bowl, that offer a stylish alternative to the traditional ring pillow. They are based in the US, but ship all over the world.

Today we remember the 52 innocent people who lost their lives and the hundreds more who were injured in the London terror attacks 4 years ago. Let us hope that one day our world will be a safer and more peaceful place to live.

Check out our new July design concept. After the recent heatwave I wanted to create a board that celebrated summer and had a refreshing feel, without the traditional ‘hot’ summer colours like reds, pinks and yellows. Hence a rustic outdoor setting, lots of understated details and a fresh apple green colour scheme.

I’ve been a bit slack with the blog this week as I’ve been super busy catching up after our holiday. We had a beautiful week on the South coast of Kent, and I’m totally refreshed for the rest of the summer season.
