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.

Winter is upon us and to take a wee detour from wedding inspiration, here are a few images to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Who can resist an elderly gentleman dancing with his granddaughter on her wedding day. So special.

BRRRRRRRRRR!!

When I awoke this morning to a dark, cold morning I realised that it is time to say hello to my thermal underwear and goodbye to my jandals. The coming of winter need not be all doom and gloom though, and as I mentioned in a previous post, autumn is my favorite season (after spring).

I started thinking of how lovely an autumn wedding would be. You don't need to stick to the commonly used oranges and browns used to evoke this season. Think of mulled wine, black and moody thunderclouds, magic spells, deep plum silk and sultry dark eyes.
