Matching Bridesmaids – Some of us disagree

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

The latest craze seems to be going out of your way to ensure each bridesmaid looks unique, wearing the same colour or shade and then picking a style that suits the individual.

From our point of view, it is an honour to be a bridesmaid, and you should wear what you’re told!  The pictures to us shown here, look like a bunch of guests standing around the bride.  What happens if you choose green for your bridesmaid, they would be totally indistinguishable from the guests (if 30 of them show up wearing green).  What next? Invites stating the colour a guest should and shouldn’t wear?

Top Tip – Match your colours with a paint card!

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Here is a great tip from our very own Marian who works in RealWeddings.ie.

”My own daughter is getting married this September.  The bridesmaids dresses are a unique colour, so I matched up the colours with some paint colour cards and hey presto, we could carry it around in our handbags when going out looking at other items such as ribbon etc”.

Match up your bridesmaids!

Bridal Canvas – Cool tool for any B2B

Friday, August 7th, 2009

This was sent to us today, and we have to say it’s just the coolest little tool, especially for those of us lacking in creativity.  You can create your own canvas, or moodboard with the click of a mouse.  You can even use photos of items you may already have.

Get creating on the Bridal Canvas Website. (You may want to turn down your speakers, to avoid the dodgy music).

Personalised M & M Sweets

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

It started with you being able to choose the colours to match your wedding.  So you’d log on to the delicious M&M site, and pick the colours of your wedding.  Next came the ability to have something written on the M&Ms.  NOW, you can have you and your other half faces printed on them.

While we love the idea of the colour co-ordinating sweets, or even the personal messages.  Sitting down to munch on sweets with the bride and groom’s face staring up at you freaks us out a little.  However each to their own and if you fancy getting your own personalised M&Ms, log on to http://www.mymms.com/ and get designing.  They have 25 colours to choose from!
