I just returned yesterday from my hen do in Mykonos and I wanted to share a quick post of some wedding décor inspiration I spotted on my travels. I fully intend on doing a post of what I got up to in Mykonos, but this is just some photos of some details that inspired me – and could be easily adopted and adapted to enhance any wedding. The shops and restaurants alike are all very tasteful and stylish in the town, so I wasn’t stuck for inspiration.
I’m packing to go on my hen do tomorrow and I’m on my 5th practise pack! This was so hard because I’m leaving a rainy and cold London to go to warmer climates in the med, and I only have carryon luggage – for 6 days!
Have you recently got engaged or are you just deliberating over ‘setting a date’ next year? At this point, summer may seem too soon, but autumn may be the perfect answer. With warm hues and comfort food, there’s so much more you can do to be creative with autumn than summer. It’s also likely that an autumn wedding will be slightly cheaper than a summer wedding – and you’ll have more flexibility/availability with your dates. In case you missed my autumn theme I ran on Instagram the other week, here is a summary to give you some inspiration to fall in love with:
If you are getting married this side of next April, you should think now about your pre-wedding outfits. That is; hen party, finishing up work drinks, rehearsal dinner, and wedding-eve drinks – basically anything in the lead up to your wedding that will be focused around your wedding! And you better look good at all of these things, because you are the centre of attention, whether you like it or not.
I’ve only recently found out how important it is to go with prepared questions when you go to meet with your caterer or venue… we’ve now been to see them 4 times, and we still don’t have everything straight yet!!
If you’ve never used eye pads before, these are a must in the lead up to your wedding. I would recommend these as a simple relaxation treat, combined with a high performance eye cream to combat tired eyes. My eyes feel drained at the end of the week from staring at a computer screen all day long in work, but eye pads really help to make me feel more energised.
