Incredible Simple & Chic Wedding Stationery

If you're a long term fan of Before the Big Day, you'll know I'm a bit of a wedding stationery obsessive. Out of all the wedding details, including wedding dresses and wedding flowers, it's the wedding invitations that really get me excited. Because of budget concerns, we DIY'd our own wedding stationery, but in my wedding dreams, I wanted a bespoke design from Follow Studio. The good news for budgeting brides and grooms is that Follow Studio now has a cheaper 'Made to Measure' line. The fabulous designs feature clear lines, pretty fonts, and a selection of accessories made of natural materials, including linen tape, kraft envelopes, mini wooden pegs and burlap twine. Gorgeous!

Wedding Flowers - Brights vs Whites

When it came to choosing my wedding flowers, I found it impossible to pick between simple white, or a riot of brights. My overall wedding colour theme was white and grey, so there was plenty of scope for making a real statement with my wedding flowers. The splash of colour would have looked fabulous against my white dress, and the white tablecloths at my wedding reception, but in the end I bottled it, and chose simple white blooms. What are you planning for your wedding flowers and wedding tablescapes?

Let It Snow

Are you enjoying the snow? Just spotted this gorgeous photograph on a fab blog hosted by Maida Vale Invitations, a modern stationery studio based in Seattle. Imagine saying your vows as the snow gently falls around you, super-romantic, if a little chilly!

Real Fairytale Dress Wedding: Sophie & Chris

In many ways, I wish I'd chosen a romantic fairytale wedding dress. There's something truly bridal about wearing a gown that's completely out of the ordinary. Something sweeping and feminine, just like the exquisite gown in this Real Wedding. The lovely Sophie chose a gorgeous, feathery wedding gown with a ruffled full skirt, and I'm head-over-heels in love! Throw in the luxurious rose bouquet, and I'm in bridal-heaven. I'm also loving all the wonderful wedding details, from the wooden LOVE letters, to the mini-vases of sweet-scented freesias and carnations on the tables, and the candy-striped wedding cake. Sophie and Chris celebrated their big day with a church ceremony, followed by their reception at the very stylish Havana Spoon in Hove. Restaurants are a great place to host your wedding reception, as you can guarantee the food will be good, and a reasonably-priced set menu will keep your costs down. A big welcome and huge thanks to Katariina from Light Trick Photography, for her fantastic photographs.

Real Desert Monochrome Wedding: Angela & David

This wedding makes me want to get married in the desert! Not the first location that comes to mind when you dream of your big day, but just wait till you see these pictures. Angela and David got married this winter in New Mexico, against a stunning pastel background of mountains and forest. Shot by the amazing Stephanie Williams, I'm totally obsessed with all the gorgeous details, not least the marshmallow camp fire. Don't miss Angela's gardenia and feather bouquet, her elegant fake-fur stole and silver-glitter decorations. And check out the baby's breath in their table bouquets, it's this season's flower of choice - cheap, cheerful and utterly romantic.
