Spring is here so lets brighten things up with splashes of bold colour and pretty origami designs. There are a few variations on why folding a thousand paper cranes brings luck, happiness and long lift - in ancient Japan anyone who folded a thousand origami cranes would be granted a wish by a crane. Today they have become a popular symbol at weddings signifying a thousand years of happiness and prosperity for the couple.

One of the prettiest trends in weddings this year has been the beautiful shaded tones of ombre, or ombré to be precise. It can be any colour - pink, blue even grey but what makes it ombré is the graduated colour, from light to dark.
