More Table Numbers






It is always a test for any designer to incorporate the essential and sometimes boring aspects of any interior or event into the overall scheme and we are always searching for ways to make these mundane but essential objects slightly more exciting or indeed blend in or become a feature. Televisions are an interior designers nightmare!
But as a wedding designer and having seen so many silver sticks with table numbers stuck in them I am currently researching ways of making these essential but boring necessities rather more appealing. Here I have found some original ways of numbering tables for weddings, again as I constantly preach it is the attention to details that are all important!

Poms Poms at weddings!

I just shrieked when I found this fabulous photo on Once Wed (amazing blog I have stumbled across), throwing poms poms instead of confetti, I absolutely love it! It is something that is so familiar with childhood and so comforting, I remember making them at school for all sorts of crafts. Going to have to make some white and silver ones now for Christmas to hang everywhere! Reminds me somewhat of the Critters though!

Fuschia Pink Winter Wedding at Los Monteros







What beautiful weather this lucky couple had yesterday at Los Monteros. Annie and Marc chose a fuschia pink theme for their wedding and it was perfect for such a glorious day. Here are some images of the ceremony area as we were setting it up yesterday morning. Needless to say a lunch on the beach was a well deserved treat afterwards!

Cupcakes in Marbella






Memories haunt me and I will never forget going into a very tempting spanish bakery about ten years ago, one rainy afternoon, with my husband and greedily buying a whole bag of what looked like delicious cakes, only to get home and be overwhelmed with the taste of cinnamon. I so remember the disappointment.

The cupcake trend is new here in Spain and after much investigating in 2008 (and testing!) we have joined up with a wonderful cake maker here in Marbella who can create beautiful cupcakes rather than the dubious spanish versions, forgive me! Here are some images of her cakes from a wedding in September, they were lovely, cake toppers available from our online shop. We will also be stocking filigree cupcakes holders and matching confetti cones in our new online store, for more information please email us.

Weekend fun!

The weekend, time for a bit of fun, albeit I have a wedding tomorrow!
