Industrial glam

I

So I'm calling today's blog industrial glam, it's one of my new favourite themes. 

Decor, Stripped back brick work as feature walls, draped in fairy lights, or used as a canvas for 6ft light up letters! 
Industrial glam is about structure yet simple, coppers, golds, blacks, and slivers all contribute to the colour theme. 

Flowers, again quite simple. Neutral colours such as whites and creams, teamed with sage green foliage work beautifully together. But also work with the metal colours!

I see industrial glam being a trend for 2015-2016, it's a more glamours version of vintage more refined maybe.
Check out today's board for some inspiration...

Centre pieces.

A chilly morning to you all,

Todays blog I'm looking at the table centre pieces!

Now I love a good centre piece, I also think its a great way to show your creative side if you are going to do your own! If your not doing your own that's fine you can buy or hire some great pieces from florist or a wedding supply sop.

Take a look at what I've found from candles, flowers and chocolate trees!!!

Keep warm and have a great day!

A little piece of light.

So if anyone who knows me, knows that I love lights, now whether that be fairy lights, candles or 6ft light up letters, I just love them. 
I love how vertistile they can be, where and how you can use them. As well as the atmosphere it creates, a lovely romantic one! 

What can you do with fairy lights? Well fairy lights can be used for indoor and outdoor use. Indoors they can be draped in roof space, down walls, tucked behind fabric and even popped into mason jars to create centrepieces.

Candles! There's so many options, but here's a few, church candles can be grouped together to give a dramatic look.
Tealights can be placed into decorated jars and used as centrepieces again, there are so many options. 
Take a look at my mood board to grab some insipration.
