Americana - 4th of July Inspired Wedding Mood Board
America - some call it the land of dreams, others call it a place where you can shop ‘til you drop! Whatever way you like to think about it, the good ol’ stars and stripes will look amazing on your wedding, should it fall on the same week of the 4th of July, or if either of you are from across the Atlantic.
To get the look, infuse all things red, white and blue to embody America at its finest! Drape the American flag over chair covers, have a stars and stripes runner along your banquet style tables, add some silver stars to red, white and blue confetti, or have a blue bouquet with red and white striped ribbon around the stems.

Sliders (mini burgers) are a really cute addition to canap�s, as are hot wings (with red and white stripe napkins for any rogue sauce!). Desserts such as strawberries and cream served alongside an array of cheesecake flavours will put a smile on anyone’s face.
Think ‘take me out to the ball game’ for your evening buffet - set up a hot dog station where guests can make their own, or have a ‘street-side’ type vendor outdoors to serve New York style pizza slices while fireworks light the sky.

As always, everything is bigger in America, so go all out for your 4th of July weekend wedding.

Country Loving Wedding Theme
A laid-back country vibe is perfect for long summer nights. If you're having a rustic theme, incorporate wild flowers, hand painted signs, lace accents and mismatched crockery. This theme is budget friendly if you are prepared to spend time DIYing and coordinating the look with your venue, especially if you and/or your bridal party are the creative types. If you want to go all out, a bicycle made for two theme will suit this style perfectly, stamps on your stationery and as your transport will create a carefree, nostalgic atmosphere.

Wedding Colour Palette: Pink & Turquoise
Pink and turquoise is the perfect colour palette for the simple reason - it’s so unique! It will definitely make your wedding stand out from the crowd and one that won’t be forgotten in a hurry. Turquoise is a colour known for its serenity and peaceful qualities. Pair it with an uplifting shade of pink and you’re on to a definite winner! Most hues of pink look good, but blush is our favourite and works well with lighter shades of turquoise! Try a teal shade for a more sophisticated look, or aqua for a beach or garden wedding for a more chillaxed feel!

Coral & Pale Blue Wedding Colour Palette
Coral and pale blue is a wedding colour theme that won’t be forgotten in a hurry! Bright and fresh, and a theme that really packs a punch, it’s perfect for the couple who wants to add a bit of fun and excitement to their day. You can play down this combo if you feel that it’s a bit overbearing, having accents of it in your flowers, table centres, and other parts of your decor or play it up in your bridesmaid dresses, invites, jewellery, and shoes.

Doily Details - A Wedding Theme your Nan will Love
We've become a little bit obsessed with all things crochet, white and doily-like in the past week (in fact, I may have impulse bought this crochet dress from Zara the same day I write this article on crochet for bridesmaids... darn it!) Anyway, doily details aren't new to the wedding world, but, by gum, are they gaining in popularity. The best thing about this theme (besides the fact that it's super pretty, obviously) is that it allows for so many mini DIY projects. While the doily-inspired dress in the above photos was actually handmade by the bride herself (agh! I've done nothing with my life!) we don't expect you to get lost in a sea of popcorn and afghans... There are plenty of easy peasy DIY doily projects to get your crafting juices going, such as this doily envelopes project from Bride & Joy and this gorgeous project for doily confetti cones from Heartmadeblog.com.

Mystical Wonder Wedding Palette
This wedding palette is all about mystical, mythical, whimsical wedding wonder - we dare you to say that fast. Looking at Kate Moss’ wedding makes us think that all other weddings are meant to be like it! With its layers of bohemian wonder, unusual styles and fabulous headdresses, really what’s not to love about all things wedding whimsy? For this look, ruffles are an absolute must, flowers should be everywhere, and vintage is your go-to trend. By adding a quirky couple your nuptials will scream fanciful.

Tuscan Delights - Italian Blue & Brilliant White

So much so that himself had to hide my iPad over the weekend when I decided I had to know EVERYTHING there was to know about Florence, Rome, Tuscany, Venice...and that he had to know them too. Sadly, the closest I got to booking a trip to Firenze was having a glass of red wine (actually from South East Australia) and some pizza (which I’m pretty sure was made in Wicklow) and watching The Italian Job on Channel 4 (original version, though filmed moreso in the UK than in Italy I suspect).
Anyway I decided to day dream again today, while the rain beats down on my skylight, about warm evening sunsets, scrumptious blueberry sweets and a silken-clad sposa on the rolling hills of Tuscany.

A Mature Romance -Pink, Green and Grey Wedding Palette
Clockwise from left: Wedding cake by Little Cakes | Vintage-style shoes from Beholden Bridal at Bella Bleu, Cork | Photo of wedding guest by Jodie ChapmanSpring is all about fresh flowers and pretty pastels -what better colour scheme to evoke for the most romantic day of your life? However some brides don't go for all things girly and pink, so this palette is the perfect choice for those wishing to create dreamy wedding decor with touches of feminine fancies, but at the same time want a more mature, refined style of occasion.
Grey will be your anchor for creating this palette, and you can go from various intensities and shades of grey (have at most three shades, to keep some consistency however) The trick to this is to use accents of pale pinks and greens to brighten up the palette, in flowers, accessories, and with stationery and table decor.

Easter Wedding Colour Palette: Eggshell Blue & Nude
By Amy Croffey
This classic colour pairing not only looks fantastic for Easter weddings but also in the spring/ summer season. It's a colour combo that evokes soft soothing feelings that signify a stylish fresh start to married life. One of the best things we love most about this soft eggshell blue and nude colour scheme is that you can use it in every part of your wedding because it’s so calming and gentle. Integrate it into your big day by using it in your flowers, wedding dress - as your ‘something blue’ perhaps, bridesmaid dresses, shoes, head table and altar decor.
