This month, we've loved... November 2013

November is nearly through, and we've had such a great month! I cannot believe where this month, or even this year has gone. Time really does fly when you are having fun. Here is a little round up of what  happened this month 

1. We put together sample pieces of our new 'traditional range of wedding stationery. It's a little different to our usual style but we are often asked whether we can create this style for couples so we've decided to make it part of our range! Watch this space for more news!

2. We went to the awards ceremony of the Kent Wedding Awards 2013. We didn't win our category but we are so chuffed to have been nominated, and we had a great evening! 

3. Fireworks night at my parents-in-law house. It was a perfect night for fireworks, nice and chilly but dry and fine. I got some awesome photos of sparklers!

4. We have been married for 3 months now :)

5. I love love love shopping in curiosity shops and finding little vintage gems. This typewriter didn't make it home with me, but only because of the price (it made me cough a bit!) - if it had been a little less, it would have been all mine!

6. Winter is coming, so I can dig out all my winter nail varnishes and wear dark colours again.

7. Winter also means guilt-free comfort eating, and this chicken and mushroom pie Will made was delicious! Looking forward to trying more wintery recipes.

8. We went for a  Sunday stroll in the cold the other weekend, and it was perfect for refreshing our stuffy heads. Fingers crossed for some good weather this weekend for more fresh air.

9. I love the sunsets at this time of the year. You have to take a snap as soon as you see it, because it will be gone in a moment. You could apply that to life really - seize the moment because it will be gone in a flash. (profound for me!)

Bridesmaids Make Up Gifts

The big day is over, and you have written your thank you cards to your guests. But, there are some people who you want to give a little something extra to, the people who really helped to make your day perfect. We have put together an idea that is a perfect way to say thank you to your bridesmaids. 

You will need:

A jar, or box

Tissue paper

Make up

Ribbons

Gift tags (printable available below)

Gather together these elements, and it's as simple as adding the tissue paper and arranging the make up items in a pretty way. Print the tags onto card and cut one out, then punch a hole at the top and thread some ribbon through. Tie it around the top of the jar or box.

It's a simple idea, but one that everyone will love. Why wait until after your wedding to give these to your bridesmaids? You could include some make up in colours that match your theme and that your girls can wear on the big day!

Click on the image below to print the tags!

To print, click on the image above and either right click and save (for PC users) or CTRL click and save (for Mac users). They are designed to be printed on A4 paper. 

Enjoy!
