Wedding Graffiti

A lovely idea for weddings and other events, a graffiti you can apply for the occasion as long as the venue lets you! It is supposed to be easily removed and if you check out their website they even do wedding cars, a great idea to personalise your wedding or even your home.

"Wonderful Graffiti is very thin pieces of matte vinyl that look "printed" when applied to most smooth surfaces.Your entire wedding Graffiti design arrives on one sheet of transfer paper. Just tape the transfer paper into place, burnish it down and peel it away. Wonderful Graffiti removes quickly, and won't harm underlying surfaces."

Sunflowers

I was at a meeting recently and we were discussing a client who wanted a sunflower themed wedding. I have found this fabulous sunflower inspiration board on http://www.snippetandink.blogspot.com/ called Sevillian sunflowers.

I love the idea of using sunflowers as placecard holders to decorate the tables and liked the usual idea of arranging the sunflowers with asparagus ferns, a cheap way of providing lots of foliage.

Inspiration Boards

I have just come across this fabulous blog called snippet and ink which is full of inspiration boards for weddings. I love the ideas on these two above one is based on snow for inspiration and the other is a lovely board with sunset colours for a beach wedding.

Well done snippet and ink for being so inspiring, this blog has definitely been added to my favorites list!

Butterflies

Butterflies

I have been asked to put together some research on butterflies for an article in a Bride Magazine, so here are some of my wonderful finds for decorating with a butterfly theme.

These lovely gem butterflies are from http://www.lovesmelovesmeknot.co.uk/ a lovely website for unusual wedding decorations

I came across this fabulous website of cupcakes, unfortunately Kylie Lambert is based in Aussie, http://www.lecupcake.com.au/ but take a look at these fabulous designs for cupcakes. Fatpants needed, glad they are not here actually!

I have also found a great idea to decorate some simple paper lanterns from the Martha Stewart website, http://www.marthastewart.com/ wonderful idea for inexpensive way to decorate a wedding and you don't have to stop at butterflies, this idea could be used for all sorts of decorations from feathers to paper roses. I also found this lovely idea of white orchids in whitepots decorated with butterflies from Martha Stewart.

Oranges as a theme

Oranges or indeed lemons are a lovely theme for getting married here in Spain, the land of the Sevillian orange marmalades and oranges everywhere! I have often used fruit as a theme or a display piece and here are some ideas for an orange wedding or event. Some of the images I have taken from Floralia website, a truly wonderful site.

Check out these fabulous images from an Italian website I have just found of table settings, absolutely stunning www.floraliadecor.it. Well worth a visit.

Marbella Golf Club

Marbella Golf Club is a venue I have loved for years, it has a lovely colonial feel about it and now they are planning to stage it as a wedding venue and the first wedding there is May 2008. We are working on a lovely green and cream theme with a touch of gold which is going to be beautiful.

It is such a charming venue but I suppose the only downside is it is not a hotel therefore whoever has a wedding there will have to arrange to stay at one of the local hotels or hire villas nearby, or be lucky like me and live near it!

The owner is now really making it rather special and the fabulous restaurant Los Olivos is now open in the evening with a fantastic new menu.

I wish the Club every success with their new initiatives.
