After interviewing Sara Mazzei from Infinity Weddings & Events last week for this piece, I just can’t seem to get my mind off bella Italia. 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.

We love any wedding where you can see and feel the personality of individuals shine through. And that doesn't just go for the bride and groom! Sometimes dressing your bridesmaids feels like more hassle than it's worth; if they don't like the colour of the dress, they don't like the style, or if in fact you just can't get them to even look at one to choose! That's why mismatching bridesmaids is such a welcome trend in the wedding world -anything that hacks off a little bit of stress is, in our opinion, a good thing.

Now, you may get a bit panicky about letting your bridesmaids loose and them turning up in a purple PVC bustier and skirt (if that's not the look you're going for of course) but the trick is too give them a bit of guidance, whether that be through pictures, swatches, or by leaving recordings of your voice saying 'below the knee, below the knee' over and over under their pillow (maybe don't try that last one).

Decide on whether you want to go: casual, semi-casual, or dressy. Pick a colour scheme: nudes, pastels, or strong vibrant colours, browns and creams, navies and yellows. See below for a few of our ideas.

Cool Blue Wedding Inspiration

Wednesday 28 September 2022 - Decor Inspiration, Colour Palettes - Tags: icy-blue-wedding-theme, blue-colour-theme, cool-blue-wedding-inspiration-board, blue

When you think of a cool blue wedding theme, think frosty sparkle, icy accents and shades of white, silver and blue.

This theme works best in a Winter Wonderland setting, but can also be adapted for an early spring wedding! The best thing is, these colour combinations are classy and elegant, so your wedding pictures will never go out of style!

Vintage Glamour

Wednesday 9 December 2021 - Real Weddings - Tags: vintage, blue, red, peacock, bouquet

This wedding flawlessly marries each detail to their vintage theme. The bride is the best part (the shoes and lips are to die for!), but I have to say that the table numbers is a close second.
