With the launch of our new decorations & favours website velvetwedding we have discovered so many amazing wedding blogs! They are incredible resources for anyone planning their wedding or civil partnership to help inspire, guide and give you the confidence to create your perfect day your own way. Weddings are excitingly becoming more bespoke and reflective of the personality of the couple, we hope at Velvet Wedding that we can help to provide some of the finishing touches to show the world who you are on your special day. Here are just a few of the blogs we love best…….

A vibrant burst of ethnic fusion, a celebration of colour!  Fun, quirky and dare we say……. a little bit kitsch.  Gorgeous jam jar tealight holders, retro spot garden windmills and magenta hanging heart tealight holders.

A sophisticated, minimalist & chic theme, perfect for a black tie reception, black, white & silver.  We love the white painted wooden letters, the black lace style paper doilies and the Jazz instrument napkin charms.
