Lovelies are you enjoying the bank holiday weekend? Meeee too! I’ve been on an extended break down in Devon and have now travelled oop North to visit my family. It’s been really lovely to have my first proper break from WTW in more than 2 years… Yes, WTW has now been running for a whole 2 years! Can you believe it?
It’s been such a pleasure to share WTW with future brides. I love coming up with creative ideas and inspiration for how to style your big day, and nothing makes me happier than receiving emails from brides who followed the blog and want to share their big day with me.
The styling possibilities for your wedding day are truly endless, and one area where you can be as creative as you like are your wedding tables. Pretty tablescapes are a beautiful way to incorporate your styling ideas and can go as far as breaking the ice for your guests . So I’ve been having a little nose around the web and today I’m sharing with you my top wedding table styling ideas. From beautiful centrepieces to amazing crockery, here are 30 ideas for your big day.
I adore these paper place mats with their rustic crockery illustrations!
