I love this rustic wreath crafted from artificial pip berries from WildRidgeDesign. Lovely as decor at the entrance to your ceremony or reception, it creates a focal point that will draw your guests' attention. There is something so warm and inviting about it, your guests will feel right at home.

Evening Pastels ... Try a little DIY decor

Decorating a venue may sound like a mammoth task, but there are some simple tricks that can instantly dress up the place without you having to break a nail or leave a gaping hole in your pocket. 
Paper lanterns are wonderful double duty props, they create pretty visuals and provide soft lighting. Instead of just choosing solid colored lanterns, throw a mix of solids and patterns. I love the use of fabric garlands for outdoor decoration. The fabric strips gently fluttering in the wind is such a beautiful sight to behold. Don't limit those pretty hanging globes to the christmas trees, they are lovely stacked in pyramids and displayed in pedestal glass bowls. Try these, and be totally bowled over.

Dress it ... bridesmaid: Evening Pastels

1. A basic tank top goes seamlessly with a texture maxi skirt. This J Crew stretch suiting tank is double layered for a sleek look.
2. Accessorize with colors. Start with a gold base of texture bangles, then pile on bits of blush pinks and powder blues for that dash of color. Pink Pearlised Enamel bangle and Gold Tone Square and Circular bangle set from Lovisa, Shades of Blue Enamel bangle pack from Diva.
3. Cinch your waist with a luxurious leather belt. This Baukjen Wrap Belt is buttery soft and the knot tie adds interesting detail.
4. Kicks with style. Instead of the usual platform pumps or strappy heels, choose a pair of sleek ankle boots. I love the buckle detail on this pair of Aldo Sivley boots.
5. A simple pleated maxi skirt can be dramatic when crafted to perfection with silk chiffon. This Chloe Pleated Maxi skirt via Harrods is flowy and romantic.
6. A girl has got to have a great bag for accessorizing. This Chloe Sally Small Shoulder bag in bliss pink  has a wonderful pebbled leather outer, and the gold frame has me swooning. This Vivienne Westwood Frilly Snake framed clutch is crafted in a delectable blue, just beautiful. Both bags available from Selfridges.

Evening Pastels ... Beauty in your hands

A pastel bouquet really stands out when there is a good mix of blooms, think different types of petals and varied sizes. You could create a blush pink and peach bouquet finished with a powder blue ribbon, or have the full works of blush pink, peach and powder blue blooms.

Style board: Evening Pastels

After so much celebrations to cap the end of a year, I wanted to start the year on a softer note, with soothing pastels. Inspired by the colours of dusk, when the sky is illuminated by the soft rays of the setting sun, I imagine a wedding that is warm and inviting. Blush pink and peachy hues abound, accented by touches of powder blue.
