Colour Inspirations - Colours of a Cupcake

We adore beautiful food photography and styling - it inspires us in both our own photography work but also in our design work too. The colour palettes you can find in fantastically photographed food are beautiful. This lovely little pink cupcake topped with rose petals was captured by British wedding photographer Naomi Kenton - we adore her! You must check out her work - www.naomikenton.co.uk

Colour Inspirations - Chloe SS2013 Collection

Today we have a neutral colour palette with a splash of mustard. Inspired by the Spring/Summer 2013 collection from Chloe and the fantastic catwalk show. The hint of mustard gives it that mid-century retro feel too. You can see more of the Chloe collection at Elle we highly recommend taking a look -  it was one of our favourites!

Wedding Inspirations - Floral Crowns

Floral crowns are becoming a huge trend for weddings - worn by Brides, Bridesmaids and flowers girls either as a statement piece or something more delicate. Reminiscent of the 1970's and also Boho looks, and Claire Pettibone's wedding dress collections' saw models wearing floral crowns - what better influence?! We love floral crowns - they seem to evoke a beautiful, whimsical vibe with a vintage edge. We have put together some inspirations for both looks - a more statement piece with larger blooms and then smaller, more intricate crowns as both jewellery or real flowers - take your 'pick'...
