No more dress worries

Whilst enjoying a spot of retail therapy this past weekend, I came across a fantastic new service which I am excited to share with you.

A solution to the ‘will anybody have the same outfit as me? dilemma which many a wedding guest worries about - well the female ones anyway!

What r u wearing  sorts that problem out.  You, as the bride or event organiser registers your event on their website for free. I suggest then letting guests know in the formal wedding invitation that they should register on-line once their outfit is chosen; they can even register the outfit anonymously so as not to give the glamorous game away. I suggest registering bridesmaids outfits too to help guests avoid certain colours or styles.  Inspired!

The bride probably doesn't need to register her dress!

We love ribbon

Here at Bespoke, we are always armed with reels of ribbon at our weddings.

It comes in handy for all sorts of little last minute touches which make a big difference. We therefore find ourselves a little addicted to ribbons and love some of the offerings on one of our favourite sites Cox and Cox. Their spools of ‘Luxembourg Ribbon’ in delicate shades of pink, sage green, ivory and chocolate are lovely to wrap around napkins, or decorate glasses with pretty little bows. We also really like the ‘To Have and To Hold Ribbon’ made in soft ivory and old rose pink; it’s great for tying around flowers or special gifts.

And if you’re ribbon addicts like us (and are based in London) you might like to drop by Barnett Lawson. It’s a little gem of a place and a real treasure trove full to the brim with ribbons and trimmings galore.

Tidy Confetti Cones

Those who know me well, know that my own natural style is pretty organised, structural and tidy. As a result I particularly like things which tick those boxes and it’s probably no surprise that I like an ordered confetti cone carrier! These ones from Cox and Cox are not new on the market but they are still a favourite of mine – such a simple design where the cone pops into the specially prepared ivory base and can be carried round to guests for them to remove neatly.  Ideal for confetti on the move for an ordered bride with a simple, elegant theme.

In need of shelter

Yes, the summer weather is doing its worst and sadly there is nothing we can do to stop it from raining or needing us to crank up the heating in June, however we can roll with it and do some planning. Whilst installing heaters are pricey, hiring umbrellas is not. Available from our sister company are large numbers of great quality ivory golf umbrellas and they are flying off the shelves at the moment. Priced at £6 each, they are a bargain when you consider the cost of getting those wedding outfits wet! We have lots of useful practical products to help things run smoothly and for the rest of June we are offering £10 off with order values over £100. Go to www.eventful-hire.com for the full brochure.
