Hair Inspiration part 1.

Hey Brides to be,

I have been searching for some hair inspiration and have come across so many stunning hair styles.
Ill be doing a series of Hair and Makeup inspiration.

When choosing a hair style remember a few things.

  • What type of dress will you have as you dont want to take the attention away from the main thing. (your dress) 
  • Up do or down hair style 
  • What type of style will your bridesmaids have as you don't want to be the same. . 
  • Will you be having a vail, hair piece or flowers in your hair.

Evergram.

Hello Brides to be,

I was watching the news a few days back and they had a segment on Evergram.

The creator of Evergram wanted to give his son recorded videos at a certain time maybe in a few years or when he is in his late teens. He never saw anything online where you can pre record a message and let loved ones see them.

So he created Evergram a site where you can post a message or video to friends,family and loved ones and pick a day where that person you choose can access them.

This is a FAB idea for weddings. I have created an account and have let my friends and family create a video and both my Fiance and I can access the videos and message on the day of our wedding :)

This is perfect for anyone who is getting marred you can look back and see all the wonderful messages.
I will be also adding this to our invitations :)

Indoor Fireworks.

Hey Brides to be,

A few months back I skimmed over fireworks for indoor partys,weddings and events.
But I never looked twice. But while on Instagram I saw a photo of a bride using fireworks and smog (maybe dry ice) for the first dance and thought it looked amazing.

I showed my Husband to be and he also liked it.

But while checking out prices this can be quiet expensive from $500 all the way up to the thousands.
the quote I got was $500 for 2 stands that last for 40 seconds.

I have heard you can do this yourself but for safety I would leave this to the professionals.

Here is some inspiration for Fireworks.

Brooch Buoquet

Hello Brides To Be,

I’m writing this post as I would like some help but most of all to let you all see what a new trend is for wedding flowers.

I have become obsessed with Etsy not only does it have everything I’m looking for but everything is amazing and can be created how you would like an item to be. For example I got our guest book off Etsy and was made to order for my colour theme and style. Esty is a website where you can buy items off sellers that are extremely crafty and also extremely talented (if only I was) for example you can buy dresses, Hand crafted items, Invitations, Shoes, party items tailored to your theme I could pretty much keep going and going but I’m kind of getting off topic.

I’m not sure how I stumbled across what I’m about to talk about but Somehow I did. I think it was meant to be.
I came across Brooch Bouquets and fell in love with them.
For some people I know they may dislike them but for me it has my name all over them.


The new tread is a Bouquet of Brooches or fake flowers with Brooches. You could also use fresh on the big day. Not only will they last the whole day but will also last a whole lifetime. I’m even thinking of framing them.You can have any theme colour you like for bridesmaids and even simple colour theme like silver and pearls.

I fell in love with these and had to show J straight away and he said I should get them as he knew how excited I was. But not only am I obsessed with these but I do not love the price tag. This is where I’m super stuck.

When it comes to making things and going DIY I am not that good at all as I want everything to be perfect..Now I found a seller that sells bulk Brooches (yet to find flowers) Now I think I could make them for under $300 DIY or buy for $600.

I can understand why as I have looked this up and to make them takes a lot of time.
Now I’m not sure if I should make it and be ok with the brooch Bouquet and not fully in love or just buy the one that I love and will be 100% happy and will love to death.
If anyone knows a great place that makes them but without the high price tag please let me know .
Also I wanted to share with any Brides out there as these are AMAZING.

Here is a link to the Lovly lady who made Johns Boutonniere. This is where I also found my Perfect Bouquet.
