Why Hello there dear bloggers!!
I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season and ate and drank and relaxed themselves silly!
Well hasn't 2010 started off with a bang out of the blocks!?
Every year seems to go quicker, and my wedding day to A.J is drawing closer! Totally excited! Like a puppy!
So I have finally decided on colour theme and centrepieces for the wedding, at last! Its only taken me a year! I like so many things and am easily influenced by other pretty, shiny images of table decorations! I'm my own worse enemy as I easily lead myself astray by jumping online to browse sites such as The Knot.com, which now has an Australian site too, and Style Me Pretty.com, for inspiration and just get myself confused and stressed as I want it all!!!!
But here is a little idea of what I'll be doing.....
So the colour theme is white, creme or champagne and romantic tones of pinks like blush and berries and dull fuschias thrown in for good mesure. Oh and ofcourse splashes of gold and silvers.
The colours in this pic are an inspiration, plus it looks yummy and makes me want a jam roll RIGHT NOW! (Lucky i bought some at the grocery store thisarvo!)
I started collecting pretty, antique crystal and glassware a few months back and glass teapots that could not be sold anymore from where I work. I have since decided to spray paint the glasware white! I have found creme crocheted placemats from Spotlight that i am going to use in the centre of the table to break up the white, and then with all the jars of baby food that I collected over the last few months Im going to place pink coloured candles in them . Oh and I have a colection of pink and gold morroccan and turkish tea glasses just to slatter around the display as well.
And the flowers that will go in the glassware and teapots will be pinks. Ofcourse.
So I feel very happy and calm about the fact I have finally made a solid decision and am pretty sure it will all look great! (i hope!!)
Obviously I will post pics asap after we get back from the honeymoon...oh who i can not wait for the honeymoon! Cocktails in the pool and daily day spa treatments here i come!!!
Below are some photos from Style Me Pretty where I found the inspiration to spray paint the glassware white. In theire DIY post they spraypainted the glasware and random objects black for a standout look againt purples. LOVE IT!!!
Before (These would have been perfect for my colour theme already!)
After.....Isn't it lovely...and what a simple and inexpensive idea. Just love it!Anyways, I must be away, I need my beauty sleep and time to dream of new pretty, shiny things!
