Cameo Inspirations

There are so many ideas that spin around in my head when I first meet clients and we discuss ideas for their wedding.The process of turning the ideas into reality is so exciting that it´s hard to explain. Inspiration can come from so many different sources for example the first date, places they have been together, favourite foods, colours etc. Recently I have been talking to a bride about her big day and currently we are putting together some ideas based on a cameo brooch that her great-grandmother gave to her as a child. This brooch has a lot of sentimental value and has a classic feel which we are going to incorporate into the day along with some vintage touches. Hope you like the ideas so far.

Coral and cream at the Villa Padierna, Estepona

We ended our wedding season this year on a high at the gorgeous Villa Padierna in Estepona. Nicky, a relaxed groom, and Kim-Ella, his even more relaxed bride, chose coral and cream for their wedding blessing. We supplied scented decorated fans during the ceremony which were gratefully received by the guests as the heat was so intense even though there was a slight breeze. 

After the ceremony the guests were treated to cocktails under giant umbrellas which they enjoyed alongside some funky large goldfish bowls complete with fish that we supplied. Each individual bowl had coral coloured gravel, large cream rocks and a single Siamese fighting fish. Our thanks to The Fish Factory in Estepona for assisting us and we are pleased to say that all the fish enjoyed their day out and were returned to The Fish Factory the following day. 

For the reception dinner we kept it simple with mirrors and a few floating candles to complement the lovely flower centrepieces that were supplied by Kerry the florist. The table details were cream and diamonte placecards which looked elegant beside the individual olive oil favors that the guests received. 

A big thank you to David Toms for these fabulous photos. And another thank you to wedding planner extraordinaire Lisa from Bella Weddings in Spain.

Relaxed wedding reception at a boutique hotel in Cancelada, Estepona

The pretty family run Buenaventura boutique hotel was the setting for one of our clients in mid September. It is a lovely place just behind the quaint village of Cancelada and I love working there for its charm and relaxed atmosphere.

The bride and groom wanted their decoration to enhance the natural beauty of the lush gardens of the hotel and be in keeping with their own style and tastes. With this in mind we created a table plan from willow branches and crystal garlands. The table centrepieces were kept simple by florist Kerry to which we added a few pale pink and fuschia scatter crystals.
