Style inspiration – White on White

 

White on white – it’s my favourite colour theme and just so universal!

And with my last name being White, the idea of creatively showcasing such a classic theme is just that little more important for me. It brings a cool vibe to summer events, as well as a cosiness and warmth to the winter! It can carry the sense of a cosy New York Christmas eve, or a warm sun-kissed afternoon in Ibiza! It can be elegant just as well as being casual, timeless yet on-trend, and anything from decor, to styling, to fashion or food just works so well when white is the hero!

Treat it as your blank canvas – it’s such a flexible starting point to build from. Think about adding beiges and neutrals to give it warmth, mismatch for interest and contrast; be playful with it! Work with and combine different textiles – lace, cheesecloth, cottons, calico… And these days, it’s not about making sure all your whites are the same – mix it up with off-whites, whites with blue or pink tones, warm white and cool whites. It’s a theme that I’m working with more and more these days for events, and each time, it’s done so differently – there are endless possibilities when it comes to white!

 


Style inspiration. The wedding arch.

I love wedding arches! No matter if they’re simple or extravagant, they always look gorgeous and can easily tie into almost any theme, and each one is so unique!

After some inspiration? Well here are a bunch of wedding arches we love!

A feast of florals

An abundance of flowers and foliage has such an impact!

Fun & casual

Keep your arch not so structured and add a fun fabric and accessories.

Beachside chic

Simple but effective, draping fabrics that move with the sea breeze and bunches of florals!

Rustic charm

Think a ladder style arch which can hold jars of blooms, and garlands for a special touch!

Match to your colour theme

Delicately died fabrics and carefully selected flowers can keep your arch seamless with a colour theme without having to put in too much effort.

An indoor arch

Just as beautiful inside as it is outside, add an arch in your reception venue as a feature piece. Centre main parts of the night around it, like the cutting of the cake, or first dance.

Using different arch frames

What you use to build your arch from is really limited by your imagination!

Using nature

If there’s a big tree where your outdoor ceremony is, why not use it as a stunning backdrop to decorate with flowers and fabrics. It creates such an impressive natural amphitheatre.
