Gorgeous Wedding Ideas

I recently came across the Cox and Cox website. They have some stunning things for weddings and parties as well as a large range of products for Christmas and the festive season.

Here are a few of my favourite items:

Confetti box with holes for all your confetti cones:

Walnut place holders that could be kept by your guests as wedding favours:

Heart shaped signs to hold your table numbers or names:

Colourful Chinese lanterns that can be hung up outside in the garden:

Happy browsing!

Divine Biscuits

Today I received a regular e-newsletter from Not on the High Street and came across a great company called Biscuiteers who create handmade biscuits beautifully designed and iced. Makes you hungry just looking at them! Ideal as wedding favours or themed boxes could be placed on tables for guests to nibble on later in the evening. They also do a bespoke service for weddings and events where they can create an individual designed biscuit to match your theme.

Here are a few of my favourites:

Inspiration - Wedding Jewellery & Unusual Gift Ideas

I recently came across a new website in the weekend papers called Plümo. Plümo is an online boutique that features a mix of easy-to-wear clothes, unusual hand crafted gifts from all over the world, luxurious home accessories as well as a selection of designer jewellery.

They have some lovely things that would be perfect for brides to wear on their wedding day or as wedding presents.

Here are some of my favourite items:

This cuff made from a mix of fashion pearls, crystals and silver coloured beads would be perfect bridal accessory:

This set of four rings that can be worn together and make a lovely present:

These scented envelopes filled with lavendar or rose buds would be perfect for decorating the place settings:

These beautiful vintage cake stands would make a great wedding gift:

These pink lace dollies could be used to decorate a sweet buffet or cake selection for the wedding reception:

Sweet Treats

Here are some divine sweets and desserts from Ladurée to make your mouth water! They have a wide range of products- here is a selection of some that would be ideal for weddings. They have a shop in the Burlington Arcade in London and a tea room at Harrods if you would like to sample some of their sweets.

These small boxes of macroons would be ideal as wedding favours or small presents for your bridesmaids:

These Pyramids of Macaroons could be an alternative to a wedding cake or used as a piece de resistance for a sweet buffet table.

These beautiful soaps and lotions would be great presents for Mothers of the Bride.

Sweet Treats

I attended the RSVP Show yesterday at the Business Design Centre in Islington. The show is always full of new ideas and companies promoting new products and services.

One company that I came across was Ice Angels - they provide miniature ice cream cones and other sweets treats for events served by waitresses dressed in 1950 inspired dresses. Other sweets include miniature candy floss, miniature popcorn and ice cream sundaes. They would be ideal for summer weddings and drinks receptions.

Here are a couple of photos:

Sweet Buffets

One idea that we are using at weddings this summer is a Sweet Buffet. Make a statement with the dessert buffet and mix it up with sweets, candies, profiterole towers and foil wrapped chocolates all in keeping with the colour scheme. Have this available in the evening after the main meal so that guests can have something to nibble on during the evening.

The queen of Sweet Buffets has to be Amy Atlas in the US. Here are a couple of her dessert buffets:
