PLATE UP

The picture design on this vintage plate is so sweet. If you are willing to go on a crockery hunt they can be used as a lovely alternative. x

Idyllic locations for a heavenly wedding. Never say never x

Say cheese

The team at Real Weddings all agree that creamy Neufchatel cheese from Normandy, is the perfect tasty addition to the cheese platter at your Wedding or Engagement party. And its in a sweet love heart shape. So cheesy!

You can order it online at Paxton and Whitfield or hope to stumble across at your local market.

Easter cupcakes #3

To wish you a Happy Easter, the team at Real Weddings have found an Easter themed wedding inspiration board from WedShare Daily, to provide you with plenty of ideas and inspiration over the break. And we haven’t forgotten that it’s cupcake Thursday, the gorgeous mini pastel cakes in the first column are from Style Me Pretty. Enjoy!

Royal colours

There is so much talk about the Royal Wedding at the moment, what Catherine will wear, which carriage she will arrive in, who will be there; and we’d like to know what the colour theme will be! A lot of people are tipping a crisp palette of whites and creams with touches of sapphire blue, in reference to the dress Catherine wore when the couple announced their engagement to the world, and of course Lady Diana’s stunning sapphire ring. This inspiration board from Snippet and Ink is titled ‘Something Blue’ and we think it’s a good example of the colours everyone is predicting to see on April 29.

Hydrangea inspired

We loved the hydrangea cupcakes from yesterday so much that we found a hydrangea inspired inspiration board, featuring light blue, purple and graphite grey, from My Personal Artist. Of course hydrangeas come in a variety of colours, not just blues and purples, but everything from creamy whites to yellowy greens and pinky reds. So if you’re planning of using hydrangeas in your wedding you have a whole rainbow of colours to choose from.

Green inspiration

We hope everyone had a lovely St Patrick’s Day last Thursday (and remembered to wear a touch of green!). We have seen some beautiful green and white weddings over the years here at Real Weddings, and last Thursday prompted many ‘St Patrick’s Day’ themed inspiration boards to pop up all over the web. So we thought we’d share with you one of our own by Real Weddings Creative Director Nicole for an ‘eco green’ themed shoot, and also one of our favourite, truly ‘St Pats Day’ boards, by Bridal Bubbly.

Birds, bees and butterflies

We just love inspiration boards – full of ideas, colour and beautiful details. These four were done by Real Weddings Creative Director Nicole for a ‘birds, bees and butterflies’ shoot. Nicole chose to create four different styles for the one theme: casual, classic, modern and sophisticated.
