Sophisticated Sapphire

Blue has always been a traditional wedding colour, and as we all know you are supposed to walk down the aisle with "something old, something new, something borrowed - and something blue".

The sapphire symbolises loyalty, but at the same time it gives expression to people's love and longing.

The Brits

I first started thinking of this inspiration board after reading an article 'Best of the Brits' in Fabulous. This year the Brits Awards is celebrating 30 years and will be screened live on ITV tonight. Based on the most memorable dress worn by Gerri Halliwell, which later sold for a record £41,320 at a charity auction, this board shouts Cool Britannia. Whilst this board is OTT with everything union jack you can take elements of this to introduce accents to your day if you don't want to go all the way.
