Festive Favor Boxes

With a horrendously slow computer today, I have been patiently scouring the internet for festive ideas and came across these fabulous favor boxes on squidoo.com. Full of lovely ideas for Christmas weddings and parties. Perhaps you don't need a wedding as an excuse to delight your Christmas guests with these beautifully presented boxes.

Ideas for Christmas Weddings

Unfortunately here in Spain we do not get many Christmas weddings, such a shame as today here it is over 20 degrees, clear blue skies and beautiful.

It does not stop us creating ideas and searching for inspirations, here on Not On The High Street.Com we found this beautiful rose heart with a festive touch, we are loving the touches of holly and ivy with the berries and those gorgeous ribbons. A fabulous idea for decorating a festive wedding.

Let's get festive!

As we head into December, let's get festive, it is now officially snowing on my blog and here is are some fab photos to inspire us! I confess I saved these photos last year and cannot remember where I got them from so will try to find out, if you know the owner please contact us so I can credit them.

Confeti Magazine

We are delighted to be involved in the launch issue of a specialist, long awaited, wedding magazine that is the perfect wedding guide featuring advice, tips, ideas and suggestions to help arrange your wedding in Spain.

We were thrilled with the quality of this magazine, it is beautifully produced with trend setting features on couture and jewellery, beauty tips, select venues, novel gift ideas and all the information and advice you need to make your wedding day here in Spain a special one.

Confeti's targeted distribution and mailing will include a presence at the leading Spanish, Irish and English Wedding fairs and also offer you the opportunity of having your wedding featured in the society section.

Cath Kidston Style Wedding

As we start to design our 2010 weddings, here is one of our most creative brides ideas, with a fabulous Cath Kidston style wedding.

We are loving her ideas and she is so involved, from the wedding stationery that has been designed herself, to making up the fabulous favours and all the details even down to the bows, obviously a hidden talent that we are currently trying to recruit!

A wonderful garden theme, which is hugely popular for 2010, with an abundance of peonies in jugs for the tables, flashes of hot pinks and turquoises, mixed with stylish napkins and textures, ribbons, lanterns and fairy lights.

We can't wait to put this wedding together, and recruit our hugely creative bride!

2010 Weddings in Marbella and beyond!

We are creating some fabulous weddings for 2010 and will be posting some of our inspiration boards and our 2010 brides ideas soon to inspire you all. We have one hugely creative bride next year, who we are currently trying to persuade to move to Spain and work for us!

The overall trend for 2010 is natural, relaxed, much more personal touches and a lot more use of the local foliage, quirky ideas, we love them :)

Magical Pink Wedding in Nerja

As the wedding season here in Spain came to an end, we were hugely excited to be decorating the wedding of Claire and Ronan in Nerja. As usual at the end of September the rain was threatening, Claire was so determined to have an outdoor wedding we just persuaded her to go for it and sure enough the skies cleared.

Our forever grateful thank you to Jeremy for these fabulous photos of Claire's flowers and the decorations we provided, adding that magical, romantic sparkle to the evening and our congratulations to Claire and Ronan. I do love the name of these roses, Dolce Vita, they have a spanish ring to them, fab ivory with a hint of hot pink edges.

Our lovely thank you from Claire

"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a big THANK YOU!

The decoration of the beach club was fantastic and everyone commented on how well it looked. Ronan and I really appreciate the effort you put in and the extra work involved in the last minute change of plan to decorate the beach club rather than the ballroom. I was bitterly disappointed when I thought we had to move the meal into the ballroom, it all worked out perfectly and we appreciate your input into that.

I have been asked for recommendations and I will happily pass your details on.

All the best Claire and Ronan"
