Light Up

Victoria tourism always seems to have the most wonderful television advertisements. Their latest installment captured my attention when it showed a scene of an elegant and glamorously dressed woman walking along a pebbled driveway. that is lined with mis-matched lamps. I love the romantic feel of it, and it has inspired me to show how lamps can be used as table centrepieces.

More outdoor lamps as seen at: Mondrian Miami, Furniture Store Blog and Trendir

There are some truly captivating ways in which you can use a lamp or lamp shade as a table centrepiece. If your lamp already holds a lot of attention it's probably best if you simply place a few flowers around its base, but if you let your creative juices flow, you can take a simple lamp shade place it atop a vase filled with orchids, floating glass balls or even gold fish.

Wedding Photo Booth

I love anything that adds entertainment value to a party, especially the biggest party of your life, your wedding. So of course, I'm just crazy about photo booths. But what I love even more than hiring the old-fashioned, classic, curtained photo booths, i simply love the idea of setting up your own photo area for playful candid shots of everyone letting their hair down.

Don't give up on the idea of having a photo booth if you find they are all booked out on the date of your wedding. Take inspiration from some of the d.i.y booths posted here, and why not ask your 15 year old nephew (who really finds weddings and love completely gross anyway), or even a friends son, to be the photo booth photographer for the night . Remember the photos are meant to be candid and not perfect anyway... Smile xx

Birdcage Veil

Vintage glamour birdcage veils, (the bridal equivalent of a fascinator for race days), are back in fashion. As much as they are vintage, they are now reinventing themselves with a contemporary and modern vibe. Worn to the front, to the side or high on your crown, a birdcage veil adds drama to the eyes and oozes sophisticated grace and glamour.
