A few little tips for your big day…

29th January 2016 by Gemma Leave a Comment

I get asked all the time for a few words of advice for someone’s big day and would I have changed anything about my own wedding.

Well the honest answer is I wouldn’t have changed a thing! Not to sound cliché but I loved my wedding and I would do it all again, however I do have one regret!

So here are my pearly gems…

One it’s your wedding, do it your way! If you don’t want a colour scheme don’t have one. If you want a simple dress have one. If you want to break with tradition and have a stone baked pizza van instead of a wedding breakfast do it! Hopefully this is the only time you are ever going to get married so do it your way, as long as your wedding shouts personality and reflects the couple you are then who cares what people think, your day will be beautiful.

Secondly take a time out. Everyone will tell you this but your day does honestly fly past at a trillion miles an hour! It is very easy to get wrapped up in the moment, talking to guests, posing for photos. It can actually happen that you spend less time with you husband than any normal day. So take a 5 minute time out with your new hubby, take yourself away from the bustle and have a little chat and listen. Spend a few moments absorbing the laughter and sounds of everyone having a great time, appreciate what you have achieved and the actual reason that you got married and that’s because you love each other.

So here is my one regret and the only amendment I would make to my day… a videographer, or at least someone to record the speeches. If I am honest we forgot about it, we were too concerned with the other small details and it never crossed our mind to ask a guest to do the honours, we just presumed someone would. But unfortunately no one did. I always thought I would remember the speeches, sadly I don’t. I was so involved in the moment, concentrating so much on what everyone was saying that now it is such a blur. I don’t remember our guests laughing or crying and in the few snippets of video I have seen the guests were in absolute hysterics, all of which I never appreciated. We were lucky that our photographer created a small 10minute snippet of our day, but I wish I had more. I wish I could see peoples reactions as I entered the church, hear the laughter during our best mans jokes and seeing the proud faces of our parents during our first dance. So even if you can’t afford a videographer ask a guest to record what they can, you will have memories but nothing can beat seeing it all again.

But  most importantly of all enjoy it! Don’t get stressed with the details of the day, it’s going to be awesome no matter what happens, your only going to do it once so sit back and enjoy the ride!

Flower Love

20th February 2015 by Gemma Leave a Comment

Feeling a little nostalgic today, so was taking a trip down memory lane and found the inspiration board for my wedding flowers. I loved my flowers and I still love these images. I wanted the vintage colours but contrasted them with the bold pops of colour like the bright pink, deep purple and corn flower blue. If I do say so myself they looked pretty amazing! (I know very modest). I was lucky that The White Emporiums number one fan (my mum) has a natural talent for flower arranging, she translated my ideas for the venue and church beautifully, everywhere you looked there was a little floral display. Fortunately my florist Elaine was also on the same wave length and the bouquets and buttons holes fitted in perfectly with the venue displays.

Hopefully this board of lovely colour will brighten up your day, my little trip down memory lane has put a smile on my face.

P.S – If you need a little flower inspiration head To Liberty’s of London the florist there is amazing!

Black Friday

28th November 2014 by Gemma Leave a Comment

It’s Black Friday today! If you didn’t know that already! It seems to have become another American tradition more and more endorsed over here in Blighty. So in honor of this mad selling day I have created a little inspiration board under the theme of black, scouring the internet these images represent some of the loveliest ways to use such a dominant colour. I’m not a massive fan of having a set rigid colour scheme but I love the idea of bringing in hints and highlights of your favourite colour. I especially love the black trimmed table cloths and runners I think these are such a strong statement piece. Black and gold is such a classic combination especially at this time of year, it has such a feel of sophistication,  the invite design I have added onto the board is one of my all time favourites and I just can’t get enough of glitter!  I hope this gives you a few different ideas in how to use the colour black.

Black

I hope you find some bargains in the Black Friday sales!

I realised I haven’t posted for a while. If I’m honest this week has been exhausting and yesterday’s budget relief soon turned sour when you realise that being ‘included’ isn’t actually financially that great (I hope they prove me wrong) and that the money if it comes won’t be landing probably until May, 2 whole months away and a whole new tax year (sneaky fuckers!) Anyway I’m going to forget about it all for a while, the enquiries are coming in, you lot are bloody amazing!

The Whole Look -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The Whole Look -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This gorgeous wedding took place in a private garden and was a real team effort. Planned by @claireclarkeweddings inside a @fmtents yurt. The vibe was cool, New York Roof Top, With considered minimalism and straight lines. Zinc top tables and ghost chairs with a refined hanging greenery cube installed by my TWE team. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀There is a bit of a story with this setup. Originally the greenery was meant to be installed on the day before the wedding but it was the hottest weekend of 2018 with temperatures soaring way over 30 degrees. We took the time risk and decided to install the morning of the wedding instead and I am so pleased we did, the greenery stayed fresh and not a wilted leaf in sight. The setup time was stretched to it's limits but neither the couple or the guests were any the wiser. We snuck out the back, climbed over a stone wall and whisked ourselves away and left the wedding party to enjoy their yurt dressed to perfect.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀tables @classiccrockery⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀chairs: @rosetoneeventfurniture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀photo: @juliekimphotography⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#yurtwedding #hanginginstallation #greenerywedding #privategardenwedding #zinctables #ghostchairs #newyorkrooftopvibes #manhattaninspired #styledwedding #weddinginspiration #cheesetable #twestyled #yurtstyling #yurtweddingstyle #greenerycube #elegantweddingstyle #luxewedding #luxeweddingstyle #luxuryweddingdesign #designplanwedding
Big Dreams - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This wee Big Dreams - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This week I have been day dreaming a lot! I have a lot planned, a lot I want to achieve, so much so that it can be overwhelming. To much time spent trying to unjumble all the ideas instead of actually getting them done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Top of my list is to go through all the shoots and weddings I have worked on and collate all the images so they are all in once place.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don't want to get to ahead of myself with the announcement from Bojo next week but I am really hoping it allows a little more freedom as I have a couple of gorgeous shoots to get styling.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Throwing it back to this tablescape I styled for the @flourishworkshop.

Doughnuts!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Doughnuts!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I know today is pancake day but I didn't have any pictures of pancakes so, here's a lot of doughnuts instead! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Another slightly interesting fact about myself, but I never used to like doughnuts. If it didn't have jam in the middle and wasn't covered in sugar then I wasn't interested. My tastes have now matured (if I can call it that) and I do now love a doughnut covered in icing and with any filling. But in my controversial opinion if its plain its a complete waste of calories!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Because everyone will be asking what your pancake topping of choice is today, I what to know what is your favourite doughnut?

This is me in my happy place!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I love styling because I love creating a vision. Telling a story through the emotions that are captured in the atmosphere of a setting! Getting the ideas out of my head and seeing them bought to life is the biggest buzz!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀A few facts about me - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀* I love travelling and exploring new places. I get itchy feet and a little claustraphobic if I don't get away for some escapism. So lockdown is certainly testing me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀* I am a crazy cat lady at heart, my black and white furball smudge lives a life of luxury chilling on velvet chairs and eating fresh chicken everyday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀* I used to be a fashion designer specialising in knitwear, I designed for many high street brands, The downfall of many high street brands breaks my heart and I hate internet shopping. The big Topshop on Oxford Street Used to get my heart racing so many hours were spent getting lost amongst the floors of fashion!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀* The hardest part of running a business is I struggle with the selling of my brand, I love what I do and I am so passionate about it, I just sometimes struggle to put that into words. I am not a salesman but my work speaks for itself and I am working on my confidence when it comes to selling my services.Tell me an interesting fact about yourself?This is me styling on the setup for the @weddingsparrow shoot at @thebarnatbrookendgreenfarm with @_wildstems_ #thisisme #smallbusiness #galpower #galboss #supportlocal #facebehindthebrand #venuestylist #venuestylistbedfordshire #twestyled #abstractstyling #behindthescenes #bts #weddingstylist #setdesigner #weddingeditorial
Escapism - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyone else Escapism -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Anyone else dreaming of a little escapism right now. Just to get away and have a change of scenery. Never will I ever take for granted a trip away, a photoshoot on location or a walk along the beach. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Does anyone else now find it weird seeing instagram pics of people hugging and in crowds???⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I hope my Instagram proves a little bit of escapism, into the beautiful world of wedding styling. Where you can gather inspiration and let your imagination run wild. Instagrams Algorithm favours images that are saved so keep hitting that  pennant banner to the right side of a pic!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Loved this gorgeous location shoot from the summer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Image by @nataliestevensonphoto⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#ruinedchurch #churchruins #escapism #ruinedbuilding #britisharchitecture #englishcountryside #ruralengland #englishcharm #fineartphotography #romanticstyling #fineartstyling #whimsicalwedding
Valentines Tables - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ W Valentines Tables - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀With Valentines less than a week away, who is looking to make this year extra special? Anyone else bored of looking at the same table with the same cutlery, the same plates? I know I am. We have never been out for dinner on Valentines Day but I would love that little slice of escapism right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀So why not create your own  beautiful tablescape for 2. Add candle light for some romance, get layering plates, napkins and why not write your own menus. Those glasses that you have been saving for a special occasion, now id the time to get out. Finally mix textures together such as table runners, candle sticks, tealights and vases. Small details can have a big impact. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I can't help you with the cooking but if you fancy hiring a few extra touches from me than get in touch. I can also put a collection of dried flowers together to use in your vases!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀To see more of this stunning shoot I styled head over to @blovedblog.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Suppliers in this image - Pic: @victoriamitchellphotographyTable: @NikkitapdesignsStationary: @gerilovesemi.paper.co ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#tablescape #weddingplacesetting #driedflowers #driedflowerplacesetting #valentinesday2021 #valentinestablestyling #valentinesideas #weddinginspiration #weddingstylingideas #bohobride #relaxedweddingstyling #weddingeditorial #bohoweddingstyling #rusticluxestyling #married2021 #calligraohyplacesetting
