Winters last hurrah

We are finally heading out of winter here in New Zealand, but we are still getting our fair share of grey days! The other half of the world are heading into the chilly season, so I thought I'd give you a hit of  winter inspiration. I've gone for a minimal look which would be great for a chic inner city or loft wedding.

Glamour guide

There is nothing more glamorous than a hollywood wedding, but we don't need to leave it up to the rich and famous to indulge in high class soirees.

With a few well thought out details, you can evoke glamour for your own celebration. Take your cues from old world sirens like Audrey Hepburn, Ava Gardner, Jean Harlow and gentlemen like Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant.

Try the following:

-A chandelier as your statement piece (these can be found in second hand and vintage stores).

-Cut glassware (try A grand affair, in Christchurch for tableware and decor).

-Luxurious fabrics in grey's/ silver, black.
-Diamante or pearl jewellery for you and your wedding party.

-Elbow length gloves

-Put your man in a dinner jacket and bow tie! There aren't many occasions that you will see him looking so dapper.

Stormy Inspiration!

I have recently realised myself finding inspiration in the strangest places.
Today, the colours I have chosen are from a short clip I saw on TV about storm chasing!

I can just see a late afternoon/evening wedding in these colours, using really heavy fabrics, lots of different textures & subtle lighting from lanterns and fairy lights.
