We hope you enjoyed this months sunny tropical wedding ideas. To round things up here are a few of our favourite finds this month: Plum Pretty Sugar have a gorgeous range of silk robes, camis and loungewear in beautiful prints - great for bridesmaid gifts. Add a little colourful fun to your wedding accessories with this vibrant orange coral beaded headband from Bethany Lorelle. Stunning roses with a twist, they are made from paper! By Perfectly Paper.
Why settle for boring old cake at your summer wedding, fondant melting away? How about serving snow cones? So much fun and a little unexpected. All you need is a little flavouring and a lot of shaved ice. Sure to be a hit with the kids, you can even add liqueur to the mix of some for the grown ups.
It's hard enough to remain cool, calm and collected on your big day without the summer heat to content with. So here are some great ideas to beat the heat at that beach wedding.
Go Casual. Top hat ad tails might look good on paper but its probably not the best idea for 30 oC heat. Boys ditch the jackets and go for a cool casual look with cream and white. Look for natural fabrics such as cotton.
Swap the bouquets of flowers with parasols or fans for both you and the bridesmaids
Keep make up to a minimum. Water based mascara and foundation are best if you have to, but a concealer and bit of bronzer is even better. Keep blotting paper handy especially during any photos.
Drink, drink, drink - water that is. Make sure to stay hydrated.
For an outdoor event give parasols to guests before the ceremony which can also be a wedding favour
Wedding programs can double a fans for guests with the addition of large craft paddle pop sticks for handles {see our DIY project here}
Opt for icy desserts rather than cake like ice cream sandwiches or even snow cones!
Every morning at around 4am Im woken up by the same thing, a big fat lump of a french bulldog plonking himself on my legs. Which would be bad enough, but then he proceeds to lick and chew his paws. Apparently this is a frenchie habit, looks like it is :)
How unbelieveably cool would these pudding cups be to make?! Kids love balloons, and we all know its especially fun to pop them, but who would have thought to dip them in chocolate first? Well the clever Bakerella did. Then filled the cups with goodies like fudge and cream - I'm putting on 10 pounds just thinking about that bit.
Today we have a beautiful tropical island wedding in the Dominican Republic to share, photographed by Jim Kennedy Photographers. Full of colour and fun the brave couple even did a 'trash the dress' shoot the day after the wedding with stunning results.
OMG how adorable are these little sheep, and the best bit is they're edible! These are cake pops, cute little bites of cake on a stick decorated with sugar pearls and licorice. Check out the tutorial on Bakerella.
