A Bit of Valentine's Sparkle from Spain!

As a complete addict to all things pretty and the fact that this is Valentine's weekend I thought I would wish everyone a fabulous few days and share this gorgeous styled table with you.

For me these images are totally evocative of Valentine's day with one of my favourite colour combos, hot pinks and reds, always makes me happy.

I love seeing these images pop up on my Facebook and Instagram feeds as it reminds me that winter is almost over and we can look forward to sunnier brighter days.

Everyone must be wondering how I can say this when I live in one of the most sunniest countries in the world but trust me tonight is blowing up a storm and I am surrounded by cloud, winds and rain and Spain is apparently being plunged into a cold snap on Sunday which I will try to embrace with a smile!

My weekend won't be about the usual Valentines stuff, it will just be spent with my family, making nice things and memories.

My recently widowed mother will be spoilt with some spring flowers to cheer her up, my gorgeous youngest daughter and I will be spending time together baking some fun Valentine's love cookies and we will just poodle about enjoying each other's company.
I will also be constantly checking my phone and behaving like a cat on a hot tin roof as my eldest daughter is about to present me with my first granddaughter which is really quite nerve racking!

I love this tablescape and I have a confession that I saved these images to my phone a few days ago and despite my best endeavours have not been able to back track to find who to credit them to so please if they are your images do let me know and I can pop a link on this blog post to you.

They are fabulous and I love the floral styling and the accessories, as of course they include a bit of sparkle and sequins which can never do wrong in my eyes!

If you are planning your wedding in southern Spain and wish to hire some sparkle, we do stock a wide range of accessories such as gold and silver sequin table runners, gold and silver tealights, charger plates in some fabulous colours, gorgeous table linens, the list is endless but for now I will leave you to drool over these fabulous florals and wish you all a weekend filled with lots of love and lovely things.

Glitter and Sparkle Glamour at Villa Padierna, Marbella

One of my friends recently asked me if I dream of glitter but the answer to this is I don´t sleep enough to dream, let alone of glitter, so I throw it around in real life instead :)

Who does not love a touch of sparkle and finally, after much posting about this lovely subject, we managed to add in some glitter and sparkle into our styling of the gorgeous wedding of Sarah and Ruben at the Villa Padierna Hotel.

I can´t tell you how excited we were creating signs and table seating plans with glitter, gorgeous table numbers in pretty white vintage style frames (with glitter!) dipping confetti cones in glitter and making tiny gold and pink glitter hearts, we were in heaven!

Sarah had organised her wedding herself, which is a feat from a different country, but needed help to put the finishing touches to her wedding day from setting up a welcome vintage style white table to offer her guests personalised fans, parasols and confetti, to styling her delicious dessert table and dressing the reception tables.

We created lots of lovely details for Sarah and Ruben´s beautiful day and are delighted to share these fabulous photos from Sarah´s wedding photographer for the day, Joseba Sandoval.  Aren´t they all just gorgeous :)  To see more of Sarah and Ruben´s wedding day do hop over to Joseba´s blog.

We loved working with Sweet Things By Fi on the dessert table.  We drooled over the cake and all the lovely sweet goodies Fi created including macarons, cakes pops and meringue kisses.  I had been warned not to even try to steal anything but did manage to sneak some of my bonbons :)  

We provided the sweets to match the desserts including the rather nice vanilla and strawberry bonbons, which were very yummy! along with glass bowls of pastel jelly beans, mallows, chocolate hearts and white swirl lollipops.

Credits to us for some fabulous styling!, on the day wedding stationery and coordination, Sweet Things by Fi for some very yummy cakes (promise I did not steal anything!), Virginia Florists who created the beautiful flowers and Joseba Sandoval from Romantic Weddings for such beautiful images.

Our congratulations to Sarah and Ruben x
