#148 DIY Light Shades

Remember me? Finally back up & running after a ridiculous stretch of computer problems.
Whoever it is out there with a little voodoo collection consisting of the majority of my electrics?
Thanks for easing up.
I have certainly realised that a back up plan is required! In the meantime I will be keeping my fingers crossed that I've used up all my technological bad luck for a long long time...

Lets get back to the good stuff shall we!?

These fabulous rustic chic light shades are via a very easy to follow diy tutorial on Project Wedding.
Even though I didn't get around to making these before our wedding I will definitely still see they turn out & if I am happy with the result, hopefully I can convince one of my lovely brides to let me work them into their big day! I'm also interested to see how they could be adapted to be a candle/tea light candle holder.



Speaking of tea light candles, here's a few that would look gorgeous as decor for a rustic event or as features for an event with neutral tones.

I adore silver birch & actually, just any kind of birch really? It brings such a stunning aesthetic to both event decor & home interiors without being overbearing.

It's good to be back!

#143 Bridesmaid Clutches

Yesterday I featured a clutch from EllenVintage, looking at her creations got me thinking about the trend of giving clutches as bridesmaid gifts so I thought now would be a good a time as any to feature a few options for either gifts or for the bride herself.

Here's a slightly different version of yesterdays clutch, as well as more 'something blue' & a of more traditional option...
  
  

My favourites, also from EllenVintage. Check it out... doily design bag!!! LOVE.

 

One from mermaids dream & three from joanyg

   

And quite a 'few' picks from Bagitarian...

                

My close second in the favourite stakes, also from Bagitarian, the 'Love Letters in the Sand' series...

    

Do you have a favorite?

#136 Lingerie

I dallied on the jenny packham shop website for far too long yesterday ( can you blame me?), which is how I came across this french lace with silk chiffon robe & chemise of the same label

Even though I think I can say with a fair amount of certainty that i will never be able to afford them, they are just a bit gorgeous!

Then I was sidetracked by carine gilson...
 
 

these two from rosamosario  + this one from stella mccartney
  

these two from la perla + last but not least, agent provocateur
  

I included the shoulder padded bra from la perla purely because i need you to tell me whether I'm really that out of touch? I'm so confused?
I love the agent provocateur set, stunning.
All sets pictured are available from net -a-porter. Some wedding sets & some well, not really?
