Spring 2010 Colour Palette

The 2010 Spring colours are here!
Direct from the New York fashion week is a selection of colours put together by top designers that would work perfectly for weddings- mix and match the vibrant brights with classy neutrals to find your colour scheme.
My favourite is the fusion coral with the eucalyptus- such delicate colours. Click here for more details.

Top 10 Wedding Day Trends

I was recently asked what 10 wedding trends SugarBlossom was seeing, below is a summary of my reply, although narrowing it down to just ten was a challenge!...

1. Role Reversals where new style wedding parties can feature a Man of Honour or a Best Woman.

2. Cigar bars and candy bars arranging different types of cigars on a table with personalised matchboxes or paper bags with retro style sweets.

3. Fun colour combinations like lemon and grey and poppy teamed with aqua.

4. Humanist ceremonies allowing couples the flexibility over locations and greater outdoor options.

5. Photos before the ceremony giving the bride and groom more time to enjoy celebrating after the ceremony with guests.

6. Alternative wedding breakfasts from afternoon tea parties or BBQs to evening ceremonies with black tie receptions.

7. Decorating the outside as well as the inside, such as hanging lights in trees or reindeers hired to pose for winter weddings!

8. Eco Chic Weddings, from earth friendly invites to nature loving honeymoons, going green no longer means a compromise on the style of the big day.

9. Hiring wedding items saving on the cost of buying, but adding style with a range of options such as vintage crockery, garden games or chairs (rather than covers).

10. Making it your day by putting a unique mark on all the design elements like quotes in the wedding programmes or pictures as name settings.

Small & Sweet Wedding Gift

I was hunting for something small, but personal to put in Neil's wedding day goodie bag and was delighted to find the seller accessoryalamode on Etsy who could make me a custom made key ring!
I opted for a simple statement with our wedding date and the infinity symbol in cooper and sterling silver- it is so cute and manly too!
