Winter is most definitely upon us, and anyone having a winter wedding around now is probably thinking it's a little early to go full on Xmas but still wants to incorporate some wintry elements to their decor...

It's no secret that I love a good doily, probably because they're only about 50p a pack and can be used in soooo many ways. Thus I am alwys on the look out for doily ideas and am loving this one found on Ruffled to add some frill to a simple lantern...

I'm having a bit of a moment with fringing. If the fringing is sparkly, all the better {see Exhibit A; a previous post on Confetti System}. So this DIY project found on Ruffled has doubly satisfied my craving for the fringe...

So this weekend the husband made his batch of chilli that he makes every crimbo to be consumed by the hordes of visitors we have descending upon us. However this year the 18 empty tins of tomatoes were not consigned to the recycling, but kept and washed by moi because I'd seen this idea on 100 Layer Cake...

I love favours at weddings and anyone who says they are a waste of money just hasn't got any imagination... I mean, they don't need to cost the earth and who doesnt love to give a little gift? You can incorporate them in to your theme {in terms of colour and style}, make them very personal {eg compilation CD's aka "The Mix Tape", your favourite tipple etc} or of course completely impersonal, silly, romantic, comical.. whatever!

Totally inspired by Vicky's cork creations yesterday, I'm sharing a tutorial from over on Polka Dot Bride that shows how you can showcase the cork from your first bottle of bubbly as a married couple or from the day you got engaged, (lets face it sometimes the fizz is so expensive you just want to keep something to show for all that dosh!)

I have in my kitchen at home a clear glass vase in which I am collecting corks from wine bottles with the intention of making a cork board, an idea I first stumbled across when planning my own wedding as I thought it would make a great table plan {see below at this rustic wedding}.

I think one of the biggest changes in the way brides and grooms to be approach their weddings nowadays is they are much more keen to stamp their own style and creativity on the day. Gone are the days when favours, table plans and decor were last on the list of priorities behind the flowers and dress and for pretty DIY detail fans this is of course great news

Here's little DIY treat to kick off the week that's a simple beautiful way to pretty up your big day, and can easily be adapted for any wedding by choosing fabrics that compliment your own wedding colour palette. Not to mention that if you happen to be getting married this festive season you can easily make an all white wintry garland, or go very Santa's grotto and use red and white if you really want to do the Christmas theme in a big way...

Ok so Frannychic and I were having a think about different wedding themes a while back talking about how themes are moving on (thankfully) from simply tying a red organza sash around a chair cover, a bit of red ribbon around your cake and possibly forcing your other half in to wearing a red cravat. We now have so many options available and whereas before a theme meant being dictated by a colour now a beautiful and unique wedding can evolve from the amazing venue, a 50’s style dress, a piece of vintage fabric or even an unusual location. The possibilities are endless and there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a wedding that so much thought has gone in to that it looks so chic and effortless.
