Watercolour Dreams ... Little details

I love the idea of painting a mini masterpiece as gifting them as favors. It feels personal and shows your guests how much you really appreciate their presence. You do not have to create anything fancy, just simple patterns with a good mix of watercolours will warm their hearts. Use ribbons and tassels to bring out the essence of a watercolour theme, it is easy and budget-friendly.

Dress it ... bridesmaid: Watercolour Dreams

Dress the girls in their favorite watercolor shade. You can opt to have them wear the same dress style, or just let them choose one that they are comfortable with. It will add to the flair of the theme, colorful and fun.

Watercolour Dreams ... Paper Goods

This is a really good opportunity for you to showcase your creative skills, but if even mixing watercolor onto a paint palette makes you shiver, then do engage a good graphic designer to turn your thoughts into a pretty invitation suites, tags and menus.

Watercolour Dreams ... Colour the bouquet

It would be such a delight to hold this bouquet, a summery mix of colors to hold its own against a beautiful dreamy gown.

Style Board: Watercolour Dreams

There is so much creativity that you can showcase with this theme. Create small watercolour paintings of splatters or streaks, keeping things geometric helps to ground the kaleidoscope of colours. Arranging flowers in vases according to their colors resemble a paint palette and creates greater impact. I love the idea of illustrating the gown and bouquet, it's a great keepsake that makes wonderful decor in a new home.

Citrus Crush ... It's in the little things

Little details really bring the wedding theme together. Interesting chair back decor, handmade lanterns and pom poms, fun napkin holders are pieces that you can use to give your wedding a fresh look. I especially adore the rustic wreath seen below, it's simple but makes such a visual impact. It's great as a wall decor for your new home!

Dress it ... bridesmaid: Citrus Crush

Pair a pleated maxi skirt with a cream or white top for an unexpected twist on a bridesmaid attire. What's more, the girls can rework the maxi skirt many times after the wedding. I'm loving the Elie Tahari dress for the interesting neckline and ultra feminine silhouette.

Citrus Crush ... Flowers in a bowl

Fun in a bowl! Fill a fishbowl with miniature citrus fruits and top it off with a bouquet.

Citrus Crush ... Cake, anyone?

A beautifully crafted cake, no matter simple or extravagant, is a easy way to bring your wedding theme into the decor. It can be set on a table that is breaming with many other sweet treats, or amongst edible favors that guests will be able to bring home at the end of the reception.

Citrus Crush ... Pretty Outdoor Setting

Love, love, love this setup for a chic outdoor wedding. Hanging little jars filled with sprigs of flowers amongst small flower pomanders adds such wonderful visuals and scent. Complete the seemingly floating decor with a chandelier, divine! A display of flowers on a log lies low on the long table, and complements the jars and pomanders hanging from the ceiling. The decor comes together so well, I can imagine the exact look for a cosy dining area at home.

Citrus Crush ... Wrap it up

A citrus inspired theme brings to mind scrumptious treats for guests to bring home. Think homemade lemon bread loafs, jars of lemon curd or bottles of limoncello, finished with simple DIY gift tags. If you are not much of a chef, store brought items can easily be packed into basic gift boxes, and secured with pretty ribbons and fabric in hues of yellow and orange.

Citrus Crush ... Summer Treats

Creating a menu with orange, yellow and white can be exciting, throw in a good mix of texture and taste and your guests will be asking for seconds. To up the colour quotient, opt for stripes or graphic prints on table linen and napkins. It will be a feast for the palate and the eyes.

Citrus Crush ... Getaway car

Uber chic, I love the colour of the car. The cans hanging from the bumper is a fun detail to add. But as a safety precaution, make the ribbons shorter so that it hangs slightly off the bumper and not drag on the ground.

Citrus Crush ... Simple chic centerpieces

Simple and neat, small scattered arrangements can add a homey touch to the decor. I love the use of white and yellow ceramic vases to hold the arrangements, it really brings out the colours of the flowers. Use wooden planter boxes if you want a more rustic vibe.
