Blue Dip Dye Wedding Invitations & Styled Shoot

Last week I shared with you the gorgeous 'Colourful Sprinkles' Styled Shoot that I contributed stationery to and was organised by the lovely Elle of www.inspire-hire.co.uk.
Today I've got another shoot to share which was organised and styled by Elle. This time the theme was blue dip dye and I designed some bespoke stationery specifically for the shoot.
The shoot was featured in Devon's Wed Magazine .. which is an amazing magazine ... you really should order a copy regardless of where you live as the format and photography is amazing and unlike any other wedding magazine I've ever come across! http://www.wedmagazine.co.uk/

Anyway here are some of my favourite pictures from the shoot ... how amazing is the dress!

Blush, Gold And Baby Blue - Alternatives To The White Wedding Dress

I have to be honest .. I've never been a massive fan of white or very pale ivory wedding dresses! I know that sounds like sacrilege to say given the tradition of these colours for weddings, but honestly I don't think that white is a particularly flattering colour on many people.
If your skin is beautifully dark or tanned then it's easier to pull off but for pasty white skin like mine its definitely a no no!
Most brides opt for ivory instead which is certainly a lot more flattering to most skin tones .. however there are a raft of other options out there and many beautiful 'pale bridal' shades if you don't want to go for full on colour.

One of my favourite U.S. Bridal retailers ( who ship to the UK ) www.bhldn.com have some fantastic dresses currently in gorgeous shades of Blush, Gold and Baby Blue which would make amazing alternatives for your wedding dress. Here are my favourites ...

Given that the weather has most definitely taken a turn for the worst I thought I'd cheer up all our Wednesdays by sharing some absolutely gorgeous wedding dresses!
I've been absolutely bowled over by the creations of the lovely Joanne Fleming that have been appearing on her blog lately and just had to share with you.
If you are looking for something incredibly different, incredibly pretty and not necessarily in white for your wedding dress then this is the designer for you.
Gorgeous, frothy and deliciously over the top!

Weekly Wedding Inspiration - Pastel Blues

Its all about incredibly pale pastel blues in my Weekly Round Up this week. Really pale blue can look beautiful and refreshing for a Spring Summer Wedding or just as beautiful for a cold crisp winter wedding.
Here are my favourite 'pale blue wedding ideas' from the web this week ...
