Mid-Week Musings: Ideas, Inspiration. Interesting Finds

Weekly wedding inspiration from around the web

It’s that time of the week again when we look at the best wedding finds on the web over the last seven days. The weeks are literally flying by, and it is even starting to feel like Spring is on its way…so sit back, take in the sunshine and enjoy our latest finds…

This week focuses on simple but effective and novel ideas for those little touches which will transform your wedding day…So without further ado, here’s a sneak peek into what has been making waves in our little world of weddings this week…

1. Happy Tears | Hankies in order
Over the years there have been many ways in which couples have chosen to provide tissues for guests to wipe away happy tears during the wedding ceremony, but this is a really neat and clever alternative – including it in your order of service…

2. Menu | Unique place setting
This is a really simple but effective way to display your wedding breakfast menu for guests to read as they take their seats. It doesn’t interfere with the place settings, it can be tailored to suit your style – coloured paper, different fonts, different shapes etc – and it is relatively low-cost to implement.

3. In full bloom | All white
There is something about an all-white bouquet that gets me every time, but the mix of flowers here adds such a lovely texture…I just love the stylish simplicity of this bouquet – what lovely blooms!

There are so many ideas all over the web which can provide great inspiration for your wedding day – from the obvious to the obscure…don’t limit yourself to wedding blogs and magazines and expand into style and design blogs, interiors, food and fashion…you’ll be surprised what you find! Let us know has caught your eye this week…we’d love to hear!

Just Bespoke News: We’re in the press

Just Bespoke advises Asian Brides on how to cut wedding costs

We like to think that we’re experts in our field and feel really honoured when journalists approach us to comment on features that they are writing for wedding magazines and blogs.

Late last year we were contacted by Asian Bride magazine to write a feature for them on cutting the cost of your wedding, and we jumped at the chance.

We plan all types of wedding here at Just Bespoke – from traditional civil ceremonies, to humanist celebrations, civil partnerships, Jewish weddings, Turkish weddings and Indian weddings – to name just a few, and we like to think that we know a fair amount about what is involved in helping couples from different cultures bring their wedding day together.

Our advice for Asian couples can be seen in the Spring issue of Asian Bride magazine on pages 69 and 70, available to buy in shops now.

Here’s a snapshot below…

Have a great Tuesday!

Mid-Week Musings: Ideas, Inspiration. Interesting Finds

Weekly wedding inspiration from around the web

It’s Wednesday everyone so that can only mean one thing: Mid-Week Musings.

Over the last seven days we’ve been dazzled by details, taken in by trends and wowed by weddings in general. We’ve seen the pretty, the bold, the inventive and of course, a lot of Valentine’s Day inspiration – the web has been packed with wedding day inspiration which can be taken or tailored to suit your theme.

So here’s our take on the top three finds on the web this week…

1. Blue Maids | Gorgeous contrasting bridesmaid dresses
I love it when maids mix and match their dress colours and styles, and these blues work so well together, offering a refreshing, fun and colourful palette…

2. Pretty Pastels | Pretty and delicate florals
When I came across this wedding, I loved how the florals were the perfect tone to match the bridesmaid dresses – they look so delicate and so fresh!

3. Paper Prettiness | Matching decor and tables
Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love paper…(sounds strange perhaps, but I do) so I love how this wedding combines beautiful laser-cut table decorations (menus, place cards etc) with giant paper wall murals – just beautiful…

So what do you think…? Have you taken inspiration from our finds this week or do you have some treasures of your own…we’d love to hear from you!

Focus On: Valentine’s Day

Be My Valentine – Any Day of the Week

Today is Valentine’s Day…loved by some, hated by others…

Here at Just Bespoke we love to hear your love stories, see love in all its forms, and celebrate our loved ones…but we don’t believe you should wait until February 14th each year to demonstrate or voice your love…Valentine’s Day can be, and should be, any day you choose…

So to those of you who haven’t experienced grand romantic gestures today, who are waiting impatiently for the postman to come to see if you’ve got a card, or for a knock at the door from the local florist who never comes…do not despair. Maybe, just maybe, your Valentine is waiting for a different day – when they can surprise you wholeheartedly, whisk you off your feet, and show you what you mean to them…

Personally, this works for me…spontaneity is a-ok…

So whilst cupid is shooting his arrow around the world today, I will mostly be wishing my best friend a very happy birthday, giving my husband a card, and then rounding off the day with some good old fashioned fish and chips…

What are you up to today? Whatever it is, I hope you have a lovely day…

Happy Valentine’s Day
