Spring is well and truly here. Greens of every shade are blooming and blossoming everywhere. Wildlife is abundant, the birds are frantically feeding their young, and there is a sense of new life, excitement and fresh, pure life all around.
I apologise for the absence of late. Suddenly life got vey busy and i wanted to really think about what my next post would be. I have spent some of this glorious weather we have been experiencing down by the river. The water was as clear as crystal, the river banks bursting with green leaf, cow parsley and bright yellow buttercups. The over hanging bows of the willow tree gently caught in the flow of the water. An idyllic setting and so inspiring and fresh and brimming with life.

It got me thinking about spring weddings, on gorgeous blue sky days. I love the shades of green at this time of year and think the leafy, apple greens and sage create such a beautiful, gentle calm colour sceme. Combined with simple floral arrangements of wild flowers such as cow parsley and daisies, adding freesias, roses, stock, and sweet pea.

I love costume and textiles and there is nothing as romantic, as feminine and as stylish and sexy as lace. The delicacy, quality, softness and intricate design makes it irresistible for weddings. It looks stunning as part of the wedding dress ( just look at the dress Kate Middleton wore for her wedding ) but it also works well in other areas of the wedding.
I love these jam jars wrapped with lace. You can create gorgeous corsages with lace by gathering one edge of a strip of lace to create a circle, building up different sized layers and adding a vintage jewel or brooch to the centre.

This beautiful parasol is ideal for keeping the warm spring sun from your face. It has such a romantic feel about it, vintage and elegant. You just want to twirl it around in your hands!

Lace doesn't just have to come in fabric form. These equisite lace cookies would make beautiful and sweet favours for guests. How pretty they would look on a vintage china plate or arranged in a tea cup for afternoon tea.

And finally, how could i not mention bunting. I love bunting - its so vintage and pretty, simple yet so appealing and an instant, easy and in-expensive way to decorate a marque, a hall or even mini bunting on a cake. This bunting caught my eye, with its lacy look. Try using dollies to create this affect.
