If you’re planning your summer wedding and are looking for some finishing touches, we’ve some fun ideas for you. First up, if you’ve your heart set on serving up your favourite cocktails, get yourself to Woodies and pick up these cool Kilner 5 Litre Drink Dispensers. They’re not too pricey at €14.99 and they’ll add a fun festival feel to your drinks reception. And what better way to serve up your cocktails than in mason jars – make them all the more personal with some Kraft paper tags and finish them off with some cute and cheery straws. There are lots of places you can pick up paper straws whether you’re after floral, striped or polka dot prints – we stock polka dot straws in the weddingsonline shop but you can pick up other designs in the likes of Tiger, on Etsy or in The Favour Shop.
If you’re heading somewhere sunny for your wedding and are looking for some pretty parasols to keep your guests cool – these pastel floral numbers from the weddingsonline shop will do the job and look the part. Or if you’re looking for an alternative to bouquets for your ladies, they could each carry a pretty parasol up the aisle. More and more brides are looking for unique and quirky alternatives to fresh flower bouquets for either themselves or their ladies and there are lots of cute options from lanterns and clutches to brooch bouquets and even wrist corsages. Corsages may remind you of the Debs but they can be a cheaper alternative to bridesmaid bouquets and they look oh-so-pretty – just check out the picture above.
Other stuff we love this week include this ‘Love You’ frame from Debenhams (a gorgeous gift idea or the perfect place to pop a pic of you and the OH to make your reception space that little bit more personal), these flirty and feminine flower sandals from Debut at Debenhams and this sweet ‘getaway’ car idea – for more just married car ideas, check out 18 Fun Just Married Car Ideas here!
