MAKE THESE GIRL POWER BOMBER JACKETS FOR YOUR GAL PALS!

I feel like when I’ve been scrolling through my Pinterest feed lately I’ve seen a lot of these gorgeous bomber jackets with awesome slogans on the back and I thought to myself wouldn’t it be amazing to give your bridesmaids a bunch of matching jackets, pink ladies style! Whether they wear them on the hen party or while they’re getting ready on the big day or even actually wear them to the wedding they’re sure to look ace when all teamed together!

We’re using the phrase GRL PWR on our jacket today but you could get create and use whatever phrase you like, I loved the idea of ‘Squad Goals’ , ‘Mega Babe’ and ‘Femme’ too or you could even pop your girlfriends names on the back!

YOU WILL NEED:

A plain bomber jacket // A Cricut Explore* // Iron on in the colour of your choice // An Iron // GRL PWR Template //

MAKE THESE TWO TONE OMBRE TULLE SKIRTS!

This month we were so excited to have our DIY featured in Rock n Roll Bride Magazine, if you haven’t got yourself a copy of this magazine then we recommend you hurry up and get your mitts on one! It truly is one epic mag packed full of wedding awesome!! If you missed your tutorial for these ombre tulle skirts then fret not lovelies because we’re going to be sharing it with you today…

Tulle skirts are one of our favourite, most feminine items of clothing to wear. We absolutely adore how cute they look with all those layers of tulle falling pretty! This tutorial would be awesome for any event but deep deep down in our DIY hearts we’d love to see a bride rocking one of these two tone ombre skirts on their wedding day!

You will need:

A white tulle skirt // Fabric dye (we used dylon) in the colours you chose // Dye salt // A bucket // Warm water //

STEP 1:

Following your dye instructions prepare your dye, salt and warm water as instructed.

STEP 2:

Next, submerge the bottom half of your tulle skirt into the dye and make sure all of the layers of tulle are dipped in. Our dye instructions said to leave it for 15 minutes then give the water and fabric a stir then leave it for a further 45 minutes so that’s what we did! We then pulled the skirt out and left it to dry until the fabric was damp but not fully dry.

THE SUBTLE TOUCH OF A FEATHER

I’ve always had a fascination with feathers, I used to love happening upon them when I was little and as I got older the colourful craft feathers used to find their way into my scrapbook cupboard! Then when I started working in the wedding industry I was able to get my feather fix at all times and as I’m sure you can imagine today’s shoot really hit the spot too!

MAKE THIS BRIGHT & BOLD FRINGE NECKLACE

Boy do we have a neon treat in store for you today! We all know fringes are having a big moment, especially in the festival scene so we couldn’t help but go a little fringe crazy and make this fun and colourful statement necklace! This DIY took less than 2 hours and can be done in 3 easy steps! I’m not even kidding, it really is THAT simple!

STEP 1:

Take your leather lace and tie it securely together to create a necklace shape. Then cut your yarn into roughly 15cm pieces, it doesn’t matter if they’re not perfect because you can always trim them later if you need to! We cut around 80 pieces per colour but just play it by ear as you’re going along!

STEP 2:

Create a loop in the centre of your strand of yarn, place that over top of your leather lace then thread the two strands hanging down through the loop and pull tightly!

MAKE THIS GOLD PINEAPPLE DRESS FOR YOUR BRIDESMAIDS!

I don’t know about you but I would LOVE to see a wedding with the bridesmaids in patterned pineapple dresses! I think it’s a super fun idea, especially for the summer and having the pineapples in gold adds that touch of extra glamour to the dresses! Making your own couldn’t be easier either, here’s how to do it!

YOU WILL NEED:

A Cricut (We used the Explore Air) // Gold Iron On Transfer Paper // This template // A plain white dress // An Iron //

Alternatively if you don’t have a Cricut, simply print this template onto printable iron on paper and iron on! It won’t have the same glittery effect but it will still look super cute!

STEP 1:

Upload the pineapple template to the Cricut Design Space and size it to around 2 inches wide. You’ll then want to copy and paste it to until you have enough to fill your mat with pineapples. We filled a 12 x 12 inch mat and that was enough to cover the entire front of the dress.

STEP 2:

Load your mat into the machine with your gold iron paper and hit go!

WEDDING WEARS: 3 STYLES TO TRY THIS SUMMER!

When I tell people that my ‘job’ is wedding blogging the response I often get is ‘Aww does that mean you get to go to loads of weddings?!’ (Sometimes the response is what’s a blog? But don’t even get me started on that one) Long story short, nope, I totally do not get to go to loads of weddings! I get to see hundreds of beautiful weddings online but the only time I attend weddings is the same as most people; when my family or friends are tying the knot! (And as you can imagine I get totally over excited when this happens!) Anyway, I often find myself dreaming of what I would wear to certain types of weddings and today I thought I would share with you some of favourite styles around right now!

You guys know we’re not shy of colour around here so the above summer wedding outfit is perfect for us! We love to dress colourfully all year round but there’s something even nicer about wearing bright and bold colours when the sun is shining!

BRIGHT & BOLD BABE

1. Mini Boxy Tote from Topshop // 2. Neon Coral Short Lace Top from H & M // 3. Pierre Hardy Tri Coloured Wedges from Rebelle.com //4. Elizabeth Arden Matt Lipstick in Coral Crush 42 // 5. Freeway Apparel Floral Maxi Skirt // 6. Cerise earring set from H & M // 7. NARS Nail Polish in Ikiru Light Blue //

We are officially in full on festival season now and we all know that festival weddings are as popular as ever! If I was lucky enough to attend one of these weddings I would have to get all dressed up in something like the above! (P.S how epic is that head piece?!)

DIY FLOWER TULLE SKIRT

Have you been enjoying our ‘month of flower DIYs’ so far? We’ve created a table plan, napkins, flower wrapping and we’ve got so much more to share with you! Today we’re taking a turn into fashion as we show you how you can make your very own DIY flower tulle skirt! We’ll let you in on a little secret too…this whole DIY cost us less than £30! How beautiful would these look on you spring/summer brides or even on your bridesmaids or flower girls!

To create your own all you’ll need is:

A white tulle skirt // A selection of fake flowers varying in size (we used around 40 flowers) // A Glue Gun //

STEP 1:

Take the top layer of tulle and keep it separate from the rest of the skirt (we just tied ours up with a hair bobble). You’ll want to glue the flowers to the layer underneath the top one so that the top layer of tulle can sit pretty over top of your flowers.
