Go Glorious Makes the Front Page

A little while ago I had a call from Abbi at Save the Date Magazine to ask if they could use a Go Glorious image for their front page (well, my styling, and the brilliant Shoot's photography).  Of course, I said 'yes' straight away! If you fancy a peep, and a browse through this great magazine, pop over to http://savethedatemagazine.co.uk/magazine/

Rustic Wedding Style with Antique Charm

If natural textures and wayward heady blooms are your style, take a look at some of these ideas for a rustic styled wedding table.

I used the most gorgeous distressed miniature easel to display a combined table number and menu. I love the font, and the sepia ink - it all adds to that age old charm.  I've kept all the items on this table rough in texture.   The aging urn, stone candlestick, antique bronze candle holders, place names made of heart shaped bark, and buff favours boxes tied with ribbon and twine. 

Texture is a wonderful thing, and all these natural tones are fired into life with the additional of sprawling and vibrant country florals.  Just take a look at these! The colours are utterly wonderful. Catherine of Petalis has chosen colour opposites - luscious apricots and soft ivory studded with the purple tones of grape hyacinth.  The addition of seed heads ties it all in with the rustic theme. I just don't know how she does it, but Catherine effortlessly selects which flowers  will epitomise 'the look'.

I finished off by adding a set shell pink and gold vintage china. I don't know what you think - but for me this is one of the prettiest tables ever...!
