"You're Invited too..."

"The Invitation"

In one of my previous posts - "You're Invited"... I posted about how much I enjoy weddings. I just received a Wedding Invitation in the post today...and I am super excited. The Invitation is the "Key". It sets the tone for the Wedding. This Invitation says "Dress: Formal" and looking at the "Style" of the Envelope and Seal - this is going to be a very "Elegant Wedding."

Whilst examining the Invite - my creative juices started flowing...I started pondering on the "Decor" of the Wedding and the Attire of the Bride and her Retinue....Oh how my mind wondered off...From the "Flowers" to the "Cake"...to The "Ceremony" and "Reception"...A Day to Remember for a Lifetime...

"The Ceremony"

"The Flowers"

"The Wedding retinue"





"The Brides Attire"



"The Cake"

"The Reception"

So next time you get an Invitation to a Wedding...try this it's great Fun. It allows your creativity to flow...who knows there could be a hidden"Wedding planner" in there somewhere...'Til next "Happy Planning"...:-)FK

"You're Invited..."

It's wonderful to receive an Invitation to a Wedding...The excitement is overwhelming - knowing that two people who love each other are making a commitment for life...I love "Weddings" - I often help "brides-to-be" with "Colour Schemes" and "Inspirational boards"...because there's nothing better than planning a wedding. The most important element, I feel , is the "Colour Scheme" or "Theme" as this sets the tone for everything...You can't do "Invitations" or book the "Venue" without a "Vision"...Wedding "Inspirational Mood-boards" are vital as these can be handed out to the "Wedding Party" and everyone becomes in tune with your vision...The Invitations;the Cake;the Flowers...Reception Decor ect...all need to be worked around this...

The lastest trends depending on the Season - are "Greys; Black and White" or "Greys accented with Reds". These create a "Dramatic" statement. "Yellows and Teal" are making perfect "Summer Weddings" and the ever popular "Pink" teamed up with layers of tints;tones and shades of Pinks...are great "Spring backdrops".Fuschia pink works perfectly with Black and recently I worked on a "Fuschia Pink and Lime green" Wedding Colour Scheme and it turned out beautifully....

"Finding your Inspiration"...Look through "Bridal Magazines" or "the Internet" - Cut and Paste pictures that appeal to you...Start your "Wedding Scrapbook"...It can be a table-setting; a Floral arrangement...even colour glassware...anything...Remember:This is "Your Day" - you need to be guided by what feels right to you! Enjoy Planning...'Til next time:-)FK.
