Colourful Sprinkles Wedding Shoot And Stationery

Today I'm pleased to share with you some photos of a styled photo shoot which I had the pleasure to contribute some stationery towards earlier this year.
The lovely Elle from Inspire Hire http://inspire-hire.co.uk/ who does wedding styling and hire throughout the South West, got in touch wanting to use my Ombre range of wedding stationery for a colourful 'Sprinkles' inspired shoot she was putting together.
I was of course delighted to help and these are the results ...

 

Photography was by http://www.keithriley.co.uk/

Great Alternative Wedding Food Ideas

I think lots of you these days are considering alternative options to traditional sit down wedding breakfasts for your main meal and also great alternatives to the traditional buffet fare for your evening receptions.
I think a few quirky tables or carts set up instead of an evening buffet can create a much more relaxed feeling for your evening guests ... who can then 'graze' throughout the evening whenever they want to take a break from the dancefloor ... rather than the usual (and in my opinion slightly cringy!) moment where the DJ declares the "buffet is now open!". It also means your Day guests ... who have probably had quite a lot of food by that point ... don't feel under pressure to go and fill there plates with food they may not be ready for!

Here are a few of my favourite ideas on how to keep your guests fed in the evening ( I may have a bit of a sweet tooth! But lots of these ideas can be adapted for savoury ideas as well ... hot dogs or tacos especially!) ...

 

Weekly Wedding Inspiration & Advice

I hope you've all had a fantastic week ... as usual for the beginning of the year mine has been incredibly busy!
On a serious note this is definitely something you should keep in mind when contacting or trying to book wedding stationers. Most people I speak to assume I'm going to be busy in the summer when most of the weddings take place and, its true, I can be quite busy over the summer with peoples reception stationery orders. However, the really busy time for me .. .and I'm sure most other stationers .. is January and February. Its when most people start thinking about ordering their stationery for weddings that summer and of course there are lots of newly engaged couples from the Christmas & New Year Celebrations :)

On a lighter note I've found some fabulous wedding ideas on the Internet and www.pinterest.com this week and just had to share.
This week I've been drawn to inventive and cost effective ways to decorate your venue or cake table to make it that little bit more special and fun .... I especially love the dessert table below with the toffee apples! ...
