We hope you’ve all had the best weekend and if this is your first time visiting the new look site, we hope you have enjoyed what you have seen so far! Our love for colour is no secret, given the number of bright, bold DIY’s wedding’s and Styled shoots we share on our site. And today is no different, as we are super excited to share these jeweled geometric wedding decor ideas with you. Here’s a couple of quick tips for recreating this look for yourself.
First, take inspiration from your venue and work with the colours of the room. Compliment these with other bright and bold tones to make your decor really pop.
Second, if you want to know how to make those glittered champagne glasses all you need to do is get your own plain glasses (these were less than 50p each!) add PVA glue to the base and then sprinkled with glitter. They aren’t dishwasher safe but certainly look pretty and add a little bit of extra sparkle! Super simple, effective and cheap!

Christina and Shawn wanted their wedding to feel like them and their life together-vibrant and colorful! As travel is a huge part of their lives together they knew a destination wedding was a must. We asked Christina to tell us more about her fun and vibrant wedding in Mexico.

You may remember a couple of weeks ago we were sent a box of goodies from the paint heaven company that is rustoleum? We were challenged to upcycle something and in case you missed it you can check out how we upgraded a bunch of teapots here! As you can imagine though with a box of amazing paints lying around my house it wasn’t long until I got itchy feet and had to dive straight back into the package!
I headed to a local gift shop and bought a bunch of plain white taper candles (they were only 70p each!) and thought it would be fun to create an ombre effect on them using the multi purpose spray paint in candy pink! I think these would make beautiful favours for a wedding or even gifts for your bridesmaids and obviously at a bargain price! Here’s how you can make your own:
YOU WILL NEED:
White taper candles // spray paint in the colour of your choice // glasses (for drying) //
STEP 1:
Holding the top of the candle, simply spray paint the bottom of the candle creating an ombre effect.
STEP 2:
Pop the candle in a glass, upside down and allow the paint the fully dry.

Planning a wedding is pretty difficult wherever you are but have you ever wondered how it would feel to plan a wedding in a different country to the one in which you live? Swiss wedding planner Claudia decided to host her wedding in Ibiza, so we asked her to tell us how she managed the wedding of her dreams long distance.
As you guys know we did our annual reader survey a few weeks ago and a couple of the things you were asking for were more free printables and more stationery so I thought I would combine the two and create a pretty & modern save the date card! All you need to do is download…
