When me and George recently started designing our own wedding invitations, I spent lots of time searching on Pinterest for ideas and inspiration. Here are a few of my favourite finds, in keeping with our rustic/ woodland theme.

One: Script and block lettering.

Two: Wrapped in twine.

Three: Shit just got real..

Four: Beautifully illustrated.

Five: Lined envelopes.

Six: Rustic invitation bundle.

Seven: Kraft paper and string.

I'll be sharing our own invites once they are completed. Don't forget to follow me on Pinterest :)

PINSPIRATION #9

It's my dream to one day have my own sewing room in our house. A place which I can decorate and organise however I please, and where I can feel inspired and motivated to work every day. Me and George currently share the spare bedroom in our flat which we use as our office/ studio space, (half music/ half sewing room). Whilst it's enjoyable to have our own little hideaway up in the converted attic, where we can both be doing the things we enjoy together, I one day hope to be running my own little business full time, so having my own room to work in, as well as escape from when I need some down time, will be essential. Although this is a long way off, I'm constantly pinning and dreaming of my own studio. Here are some of my most recent loves.

One: Neutral colours, cutting table and rustic details.

Two: Bright and airy.

Three: Beautiful barn studio.

Four: Vintage furniture.

Five: Thread display.

Six: Bunny clock.

Seven: Mustard and grey.

Eight: Fun and creative decor.

PINSPIRATION #8

1. I'm loving having my toe nails painted for the warmer weather at the moment, seeing as I don't really have my tootsies on show at any other time of year. This mint and black combo is super pretty.

2. I'm currently looking at storage solutions for my disorganised sewing space and loved this metal and wood storage cart.

3. Of course I am constantly pinning all things wedding related right now and had to throw a couple in here.. These wooden signs would look perfect in our barn venue.

4. Best coasters ever! Really want to learn how to make these.

5. I absolutely love the gorgeous colours in this bouquet.

6. I recently bought a bardot top from River Island and it's a super flattering style. Now I'd really like to find a dress version like this one!

Hope you enjoyed this random selection of recent pins.

PINSPIRATION #7

As some of you may remember, I got engaged at Christmas so I am currently planning my wedding! Being a bit of a crazy pinterest lady, I have been gathering lots of ideas for the big day and thought I would share some of my favourite things with you..


THE VENUE

1. One of the first things we decided was that we wanted a barn wedding. Neither of us are fond of traditional weddings set in churches or manor houses and would instead prefer something small and rustic that we can decorate to our own taste.

2. This barn is a better representation of the size of venue we would be looking for. We also LOVE this type of lighting. It creates a gorgeous, warm atmosphere. Lots of candles are also a must!

THE DECORATIONS

3. This tree slice cupcake stand is one of my favourite finds so far. In case you hadn't noticed, we like a lot of wood and want our wedding to have an autumnal/ woodland feel. We're also going to have an assortment of cupcakes rather than a wedding cake, so this would be perfect for displaying them. Rather than buying one, we're thinking it should be fairly easy to make one at home. Especially since my dad is a carpenter ;)

4. Candles, candles and more candles. We've been collecting jars since Christmas..

5. We don't want to overdo it with the flowers, so I love this simple arrangement. I think one of these with a table number attached to it would look lovely as a centrepiece, and it's another use for all the jars that are taking over my cupboards.

THE DRESS

6. I'm set on finding the perfect 1950s style dress. I really don't like full length, princess-like wedding dresses and would love something shorter and more doll-like with a vintage feel. Everyone asks me if I'm going to make my own dress, which is something I constantly think about, but I'm not sure I could handle the stress of making my own wedding dress! I'm keen to get designing though and can't wait to try some on in the shops, so we'll see where I go from there.

7. At the moment, this is one of my favourite necklines. It's such a beautiful, flattering shape. The lace detail is really pretty too.

8. Another reason for having a shorter dress.. so I can show off a beautiful pair of shoes!

THE INVITATIONS

9. We both enjoy graphic design and are really looking forward to making our own invitations. We love this idea of a pack which would include the invite, a map of the venue and any other bits of info.

10. I love how cute and handmade this invitation looks. The button is very 'me' and George loves the idea too!

I thought I would stop here, or this post could get very long..

I hope you enjoyed this little insight into my wedding ideas. There's so much to think about at the moment and it's all very exciting! I'm thinking of doing regular wedding related posts on here, whether it's more of these pinterest updates or just when anything significant happens.

Pinspiration #6

Autumnal.

1. Brown boots. I need a pair of these in my life this autumn. Let the ebay search commence..

2. Dr. Martens. So I've got my standard black boots, but these are a cuter alternative which would look perfect with dresses and thick tights. 

3. Cosy. How I like to spend most of my time at home when it's cold outside.

4. Layers. I love layering up in the autumn. A hoodie and leather jacket combo is one of my favourites.

5. Backpack. The perfect autumn/ winter bag. That colour <3

6. Nails. Red is probably my most used nail colour, especially darker shades like this.

7. Beanie. I'm not normally a hat person but last year I found a beanie that I actually liked wearing, so now I'm out to find some more in as many pretty colours as possible..

8. Crochet. Autumnal loveliness.
