Wow. What a weekend we just loved hosting our open bridal
days. So much joy and excitement to be shared! We met some lovely brides and
were inspired by their colour choices and themes!
The whole team were in Friday, including our newest recruit
Hermoine. We loved every second of setting up our displays and even got our
noses into some bridal magazines, doing some very serious research..... not at
all getting side tracked by dresses, photo shoots and venues!
We are perfectionists, so Friday evening included various
group discussions from invitation display colour schemes to what vase the
flowers looked best in etc! What can we say we are creative people so it just
has to be perfect! The set up was beautiful.
Bloomin’ Clares, a local florist in Fair Oak was one of the
local businesses we had at our open day! Bloomin’ Clares’ aim to create floral
magic and they most definitely added a magical touch to our open day. I’m sure
you would agree if you attended they smelt and looked INCREDIBLE. We love fresh
flowers in our barn and were privileged to showcase her work!
Our team were on hand to inspire, inform and listen! Our
services include bespoke jewellery, hand crafted invitations and craft stock a
plenty to contribute towards achieving the perfect little touches for your big
day! If you are getting married we would be more than happy to help and we love
to make everything we design as personal to you as possible.

Among the tea drinking and cake munching we enjoyed sharing

You will need:
· Letter
stickers
· Patterned
Paper or Card – a great way to use up some scraps!
· A length
of ribbon or lace
· Paint – we
chose white chalk paint but any colour would do
· Pencil,
paintbrush, scissors and a hole punch
1. Use your letter stickers to
create a triangle template. We found sticking our letters onto your template
paper the best way to create the right size.
2. Draw round your template
onto patterned and cut out your triangles. Make sure you have the right number
to spell out your word/words
3. Punch two holes in the top
edge of your triangles to weave your ribbon/lace through
4. Apply the stickers to the
centre of each triangle, being careful to try and position at the same height
on each
5. Wash the colour over the
triangles, being careful to make sure the coverage is even around the edge of
the stickers for a crisp finish
6. Add layers of paint until
you can no longer see the pattern through the paint; this may vary depending on
your background colour. We ended up applying four coats
7. Allow to dry completely and
then remove your stickers to reveal the beautiful pattern
8. Weave through your ribbon
or lace, allowing plenty at either end to hang
9. Hang your beautiful bunting
for the world to see! Now there’s no stopping you, why not repeat for
Valentines, Easter, Christmas, Birthdays and more!
