Eco Friendly Ideas For Your Wedding Day

Eco Friendly Ideas For Your Wedding Day

I love to see natural products used in a special way.  So to see our handmade papers and silk ribbons incorporated into a beautiful wedding is something that we just had to share.
Beautiful Bride Holly Searle married her husband Matthew on 11th July 2022.  The photo's of their big day looked so beautiful, I wished I could have been a part of it.

Some of the special touches we love:

RIBBONS BLOWING IN THE BREEZE

So much thought went into this day.  Holly used a mix of ribbons to decorate the walk to the Church and reception.  How lovely to see them softly blowing in the breeze.

HANDMADE ORDER OF SERVICE'S

Holly made her own Order of Service booklets using handmade card and paper and silk ribbon.  She had a sketch of the Church produced and printed this on to the front cover of the booklet.  As an extra special finishing touch, she tied the booklets together with silk ribbon.  Just stunning!

A UNIQUELY BEAUTIFUL TABLE PLAN

I must admit that I fell in love with Holly's table plan.  I love beautiful flowers.  But what a fabulous idea to turn such a beautiful flower arrangement into a table plan by plan by adding printed handmade card panels.

FLORAL CENTRE PIECES WITH HANDMADE TABLE NAMES

Holly's tables were all named after the David Austin Roses growing in her garden.
Again. her use of stunning flowers with handmade paper works so well.

HANDMADE PAPER AND SILK PLACENAMES

As a final finishing touch, Holly made place names from handmade paper and silk ribbon.
