Candy Colour Your World!

Well, it has been a busy busy day today, and as promised yesterday I am sorting out a Blog post full of beautiful buttonholes for you… hopefully posting it tomorrow after we have created all our wedding buttonholes for the weekend!

In the meantime, I thought I would let you in on a giveaway that is being run by a very talented young lady called Jade….

Her Blog is full of gorgeous cute and quirky illustrations and ideas and she makes gorgeous accessories using felt, buttons and ribbons… all of which are available in her Etsy Shop or for those of us lucky to live on the Isle of Man, pop in to Sweet Ginger Emporium in Ramsey… a divine shop that only opened last week which is packed to the rafters with sumptuous fabrics, buttons and sewing kits.. and Jade has a shelf displaying her stuff too!  Anyway, the giveaway is to win a whole pile of goodies including badges, keyrings and other cute stuff from shops on very own Island… so visit Jades Blog to find out how to enter and Candy Colour Your World too!

When I first saw the pieces that Jade had created I thought they would go very well with a Candy coloured themed wedding as favours, or how about a vase of plush felt lollipops as an alternative tablecentre, and then the guests can all take one home with them!

This style has been featured on a few Blogs recently, including the one and only Rock N Roll Bride, when she flew off to Paris for a Marie Antoinette inspired Rock N Revolution photoshoot, and also, Lucy Ledger has recently launched her Rock N Revolution range of Wedding Invitations too.  

So I thought I would post some photos from some of our weddings that have had sweet candy coloured flowers…

Spring Bridal Photoshoot

Last Sunday, I was honoured to be asked again to join photography extraordinaire Shan Fisher on a Vintage Spring Bridal Shoot.  The weather forecast was excellent, so the chosen location was St Johns Arboretum, a beautiful setting just around the corner from The Flower Studio with lush green lawns and trees covered in blossom.

I created two lots of flowers to fit in with the theme, one with muted pinks and blues and the other with zingy orange, yellow and green.  Both palettes are perfect for a Spring themed wedding and we used lots of seasonal flowers, so they are great for Brides that are on a budget.

 

Spring Posy – Ranunculus, Viburnum, Tanecetum, Fritillaria, and Craspedia.

Spring Buttonhole – Craspedia, Fritillaria and Tanecetum, tied with green satin ribbon.

We had boxes of props to use for the photoshoot, and 2 gorgeous models, so along with the sunshine and Shan’s talented photography skills, the pictures turned out so beautifully (I actually got goosebumps when I first saw them!).  The first set can be seen on Shan’s Photography Blog which is full of lots of other Bridal inspiration and also the photos from the Manx Bridal Fashion Shoot
