Vintage Wedding Decorations - Cloche & Bell Jars

My latest wedding decoration obsession are these vintage-style bell jars. They're perfect for a botanical or garden themed wedding, or a vintage-themed wedding, and I love their versatility. You can literally fill them with anything! I love how the bell jars in the picture below are filled with herbs, but I've seen them covering designer shoes {imagine naming your wedding tables Jimmy Choo, or Christian Louboutin!}, wedding cakes, vintage books and even sylvan scenes of moss and toadstools. For more ideas, check out my Pinterest board - it's stuffed with excellent wedding inspiration and ideas. For more pictures from this fabulous event styled by Sterling Engagements - check out the wedding blog Grey Likes Weddings.

Pretty Unique Printable Wedding Stationery

Given half a chance, I'd spend hours of every day browsing the amazing artistic offerings that make up Etsy. If you haven't discovered it yet, you're going to fall head-over-heels. Along with Pinterest {& Before the Big Day}, it's the only website you need to create a truly individual wedding day. My latest find are the fabulous stationery designers behind Yes Dear, Studio. Aubrey and Philip create gorgeous, unique wedding invitations and Save the Dates - many printable at home - a genius idea to save you precious pennies. My favourites are pictured below - I love the vinyl botanical design {which comes with a real-life record!}, the desert-style invitations, and the library book style. They've also designed bookmark Save the Dates, so you can start your theme from the start!

Blooming Groom Inspiration

Floral fabrics have me in something of a spin at the moment. They're the go-to fabric for fashion forward brides this year - just take a look at the heavenly mismatched floral bridesmaids' dresses in this recently featured wedding for inspiration. But it's not just bridesmaids benefiting from the new growth {sorry!} in florals. Gorgeous grooms also look fabulous in a blossoming print, and I love these bow-ties and handkerchiefs from Etsy seller Fox & Brie. Made from new and vintage fabrics collected from all over the world, each tie is a limited edition, and handmade in-house. They're a fabulous addition to a gentleman's wardrobe, and no self-respecting usher should be seen without one!

Green Living Wedding Favours

Before the Big Day is all about finding new and unusual ideas to make your wedding stand out from the crowd. So I'm always on the look out for something different, particularly when it comes to wedding favours! This wedding trend from the US has completely caught on in the UK, and normally I always recommend foody favours, because then they never get wasted. However, when I spotted these cute LIVING favours by Gem Sprouts, I couldn't resist them. I reckon you'd probably only want to give them to your female guests, but they'd work perfectly at a garden wedding, or a botanical, eco-friendly themed big day. What do you reckon?

Real Botanical Themed Wedding: Josi & Jamess Part 2

Botanical-themed wedding Part 2. Such was the fabulousness of this gorgeous South African wedding by We Love Pictures, I had to split it into two! So if you missed the first part, click here. This is truly one of my favourite weddings of all time. Gorgeous Josi and Jamess celebrated their big day in some serious style, and there's tonnes of wedding details you're going to want to steal. Let's start with the bridesmaids' Grecian pink dresses in ombre shades, the flower girls in white with floral crowns and the handsome ushers in marching blue suits with pink ties. Then there's the gorgeous wild wedding flowers, both in the bouquets and tied to the chairs along the aisle. I'm also obsessed with Josi's beautiful half-up, half-down wedding hair-style and her feathery dress, teamed with a cathedral veil. The venue is incredible, the pictures are beautiful, everything is perfect *sigh*!

Real Botanical Themed Wedding: Josi & Jamess

I've seen a lot of pretty weddings but this one has taken the biscuit! It's another one of those fabulous big days that have so many incredible details, I had to split it in two. So in a bit of a switcheroo, here are the wedding reception details first! Wedding themes can become slightly formulaic, so I'm thrilled to introduce a completely new wedding idea - the botanical themed wedding. Styled by the insanely talented Heike from Fleur Le Cordeur, just take a look at the incredible vegetable and flower displays at Josi and Jamess' wedding. I'm loving the vegetables displayed under bell-jars, the red onions spilling out of vases, mini-lettuce sin sweet glass-jars and leggy leek flowers. Only flowers that bloom on vegetable plants, fruit trees and herbs were used - wow! I'm also loving the soft striped table cloths, the pure white of the marquee and the twisted branch chandeliers. If you're wondering about the beautiful botanical-style table numbers and table plan, they're by The Secret Diary who have tonnes of incredible wedding stationery ideas on their website. Huge thanks to the massively talented team at We Love Pictures. Their photographs are always blow-your-mind beautiful. With suppliers like the crew at this wedding, who wouldn't want to get married in South Africa?!
