Roses are Red...

...a wonderfuly romantic theme! Would be fantastic for this time of year or the new year would be a fantastic time to buy things for this theme in the January sale - think christmas decorations that arent strictly 'Christmassy' - all things red and sparkly!

Eco Wedding Theme

...becoming more and more popular is the eco friendly wedding theme. There are many ways you can make your wedding eco friendly:

For stationery, Look for products which are made with fairtrade or recycled paper/card products such as these Environmentally-friendly recycled board tag inserts

Confetti could be organic, fairtrade or locally produced flower petals or made with recycled paper or bird friendly seeds.

This fragranced pink heart soap packaged in a simple brown envelope tied with a contrasting ribbon trim and matching 'with love' tag makes the perfect favour or gift!

Use a local florist using locally sourced flowers and don’t forget to use recycled containers whenever possible

DIY Letters

Just thought I'd share my latest DIY project - its for our nursery (baby due in December!) but these would be a fab idea for your wedding too.

The paper mache letters were £2.00 each from ebay. I painted a couple and covered the fronts of a couple with patterned paperstock. I then used embelishments and papers to decorate the letters.

Ideal for use as a welcome sign, sweetie table or guest book sign etc...

Tips for keeping stationery costs down...

• Reply postcards cost less than reply cards and will also cut back on postage fees
• Select a less expensive paper stock than 100% cotton or linen rag if the longevity of the invitaiton is not a top priority

• If the wedding ceremony and reception are to take place at the same venue, omit the reception card
• Choose thermal lithography printing rather than engraving
• Order supplies from warehouses or wholesale outlets rather than speciality paper boutiques or art stores - they are more likely to have discounts!

• Only purchase inserts you feel are definately neccessary - if you dont think you need menus for your wedding, you dont have to include them
• Order supplies well ahead of time in case of unforseen delays and because rush orders almost always cost significantly more
