Monochrome Magic

A black and white wedding theme is a timeless look which can make a striking statement at any wedding. Whilst in stark contrast, these colour combinations ooze chic sophistication and memories of the forties Hollywood glamour. This is a fairly simple colour theme to bring to life and you can add a twist by bringing in polka dots and different textures for a truly modern look.

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.

Table name ideas - Las Vegas

Adding personal touches to your wedding day makes it that little bit more special. A simple way to do this is through naming your tables. This is our first post to help provide some inspiration for those table names.

The key is to find something unique to both of you as a couple. One idea for this could be memorable hotel names from a favourite holidays destination. How about Las Vegas? You could use any of the following:

Bellagio
The Venetian
MGM Grand
Mirage
Caesar's Palace
Paris
Luxor
Excalibur
Wynn
New York New York

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.
