Greenery in all its Glory

5 Star Weddings — Sat, 14 Jan 2017 15:49:41 +0000

We were so excited when we heard that the Pantone colour of the year for 2017 is Greenery. A gorgeously fresh, vibrant tone that provides a crisp, versatile palette for a stunning wedding. We’ve rounded up a few ideas to infuse your wedding with some natural beauty.

The obvious choice for a green theme is to include natural leaves and foliage in your day. If you’re brave enough to forget the flowers, using green thistles and ivy makes for a striking display. Or if you pine for a flower, a natural pairing is white. Choose simple pure white blooms to stand out.

Accent your day with flashes of greenery – it’s not just a colour, take inspiration from all that you see around you in nature. Green sits comfortably alongside browns and whites, so look for these complimentary colours when choosing a palette. And if you’re feeling extravagant, or need some sparkle, add a golden hue for some luxury glamour.

Why not use simple, but effective apples as place settings. Perfect for an outdoor wedding and a handy guest favour to snack on!

Add a splash of green to every element of your day – including your outfit! Hide a gorgeous green shoe under your gown, or add some fresh, natural foliage around your neck for a totally different necklace choice.

Gucci in green – for a lush pop of colour

Choose a muted green for your bridesmaids and coordinate your dress with white flowers and plenty of foliage!

Make sure you eat your greens and include some delicious greenery in your menu as well. Natural cake decorations and hints of apple or pistachio will be a delicious addition.

Alice In Wonderland Wedding Inspiration

5 Star Weddings — Thu, 10 Dec 2015 10:37:04 +0000

150 years after the very first publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice is back, and she’s all grown up – in Weddingland!

There’s absolutely no Alice without a tea party, and Weddingland features the most scrumptious arrangement you’ve ever laid eyes on. Surrounded by the most vivid flowers from Amie Bone, the edible delights Alice encounters are dreamier than she could ever have imagined.

Soft, sweeping pastels and shining pink glitter come together in the most charming of matrimonies, but Alice’s dream Wedding is the sweetest of all. With gentle, tumbling curls and delicate lace, you’d have to be half-mad to dream up something more beautiful than Alice in Weddingland.
