Inspiration: Countryside Elegance

Happy New year everyone! It feels good to be back into the swing of things.  And I am so excited to start this year off with this fabulous wedding inspiration shoot from Diana Marie Photography!  A stunning contrast between rustic and graceful beauty.  With a charming horse field and deep mahogany accents paired with creamy white florals, pops of steel blue, and an ethereal Claire Pettibone dress, it's the sort of wedding inspiration brides dream of.  And I know there are a lot of you newly engaged ladies out there...you can't go wrong with creating something like this on your big day!!

Diana Marie is a recent Portland, Oregon transplant and I am extremely honored to be working with her on an up and coming project!  If you are interested in her and her work check out her blog for details!  She is incredibly talented--obviously!
Thank you, Diana!

A Happy New Year!

As we welcome in 2011 I would like to wish all our followers, clients, work colleagues and suppliers a Happy New Year.

We are hugely excited about 2011, with many lovely weddings already being designed and planned in some fabulous venues here in Southern Spain. We will also be launching and promoting some wonderful new venues here in Southern Spain that have never opened their doors before to weddings.

We have many projects under wraps which will be revealed as we move into 2011 including expanding into other locations across Marbella and beyond, a stylish new Reviva range of event and wedding decorations being set up online in the next few months, so even if you are not getting married here in Spain we can provide you with our stylish accessories for your wedding day and a fabulous new website under construction.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year, mine was spent with my family here in Marbella hosting lots of lovely dinner parties, going out for wonderful long lunches and just spending some quality time with my youngest daughter.

A Marshmallow Inspired Wedding

How gorgeous is this divine Marshmallow inspired photo shoot featured on Style me Pretty

created by Jill La Fleur and Simply Bloom.

I do think creating a beautiful table is a bit like applying makeup, you need a good base/foundation before you can add the details.

This photo shoot emphasises this so well, using this gorgeously ruffled table cover complimented with the chocolate napkins is a beautiful base with which to add these glorious details and these beautifully romantic dreamy floral arrangements.

I also love the grouping here of the details on the tables, it is not formally set but random groups of gold votives, the table flowers not centre stage but arranged carefully again in groups on this table.

Lastly but not least, the heavenly scented roses set in the bowls and white china cups filled with marshmallows are the all important and wonderful details I am obsessed with when it comes to really dressing tables and making them not just beautiful but a delightful experience when you are seated at an occasion such as a wedding.

It is evocative of what more to expect when you are presented with such a beautifully dressed table such as this one and one you will not forget.
