Top Tips/Questions
Q: Should I have red lipstick as its traditional?

Answer: I would have to say it’s 50/50. The only way you will find out is once you see the final look. Sometimes the decision is made at the very last minute. Wether you choose to be traditional or different, it’s all about how you will carry the whole look altogether

Q: How do I pick what colour suits me?

Answer: Picking the right red lipstick is not a simple challenge, it all depends on your skin tone and the colour of the dress itself. Once you know the shade of red you will be wearing, try to match it as best, to which it will compliment your colour tone also. Preparing yourself prior to the day is essential, when doing your trial ask your makeup artist to go through a few shades of red. It’s like picking the dress, when you know it’s the one, you will know.

Q: Should I match the red in my outfit?

Answer: As previously mentioned you can try to match it as best as you can, but if it doesn’t match right with the tone of your skin, I wouldn’t advice any bride to do this.. it’s more important for it to be the right shade to match your skin tone, and that should compliment the colour of your dress.

Q: How do I make my lip stick latest all day?

Answer:  The best way to apply lipstick to Line the lips with a lip liner that’s of a similar shade, or slight of a deeper shade. Line the whole of the lips with this shade and go over it with the shade you have chosen. I personally like lips to be slightly glossed over the lipstick as although matte lipsticks are nice, they won’t look great in pictures when lips dry.. this should last you through out the day.. also asking your makeup artist for a slight sample can do great wonders!

Real Flower’s vs Artificial Flowers?

Real Flower’s vs Artificial Flowers?

So after last weeks blog about “Help… What flowers should I pick for my wedding?”  I’ve received many questions regarding flowers and whether you should pick real over artificial flowers. Obviously it’s down to personal choice, but nowdays its also down too the budget and not forgetting this is being stretched at every point possible.

So we’ve put together a helpful Pros and Cons list for you below! This should also help alongside our previous blog where we added in a helpful handy flower chart by season.

Pros- Real Flowers 

  • Wider choice- As long as your chosen flowers are in season you have a wider colour choice as sometimes in silk artificial flowers different colours can look too artificial.
  • Smell- That beautiful smell of flowers when you walk into a room… you can’t beat it!
  • Dream- It might have always been your dream to have fresh flowers… if so hell with the budget and do it! Your only going to get married once… right?
  • Colour- Colours are endless and can be mixed and match (have a read of the previous blog to see how colours can be mixed)

RWS 1

Cons-Real Flowers

  • Expense- Real flowers can be expense normally double the cost of silk flowers
  • Season- Your chosen flowers may not be in season when you plan to have your big day
  • Never forever- Real flowers are never forever, they will die after your event and also depending on when and where your wedding is taking place you need to maintain them
  • Hayfever/allergies sufferers- This could be a nightmare event for them!

Pros- Artificial Flowers 

  • Season- It doesn’t matter if your preferred flowers aren’t in season
  • Cost- If budget is an issue using artificial silk flowers can help maybe half your flower bill
  • Forever- If you are buying them yourself you can keep them forever
  • Silk flowers do not require constant watering on a hot summer’s day where real ones would threaten to wilt; and if you’re planning on marrying overseas, artificial flowers are all but weightless for those pesky luggage restrictions!
  • Cost Effective- You can re use them for another event which you may have on the day or day after
  • Hayfever/allergies sufferers- This is the perfect way to still have your flowers but not upset any guests

Blog 1

Cons-Artificial Flowers 

  • Colours- The artificial flowers can vary in different colour tones
  • Budget- Your wedding budget may be an issue, however do not buy cheap artificial flowers you will regret it, there are different levels of silk, so shop around
  • Fray- If they are cheap they can fray if they are moved around alot
  • Smell- That beautiful floral smell will be absent at your wedding

Help… What flowers should I pick for my wedding?

Hello Brides To Be,

So it’s Chelsea Flower Show 2017, so what a perfect time to see the beautiful flowers the world has to offer for your big day. Held in the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea in Chelsea, London since 1912. It is known as one of the most famous landscape and flower garden shows in the UK and also in the world, attracting the public and famous celebrities from near and far. 

Many brides have the dilemma of which flowers to pick for their big day and many are attracted towards traditional roses in either white or red.  Now many people are starting to look at what else is out there as they want their weddings to be different, unique or just that one wedding that stands out. 

Making the nervous step’s towards something different can be abit scary, especially as people don’t tend to see the mix of different colours at an Indian Wedding, but many more people are breaking the mould.

Below we have collected some beautiful inspiration for you of how different flowers, colours and textures can work for your big day. We’ve also added in a handy flower chart by season to help.

Enchanted Garden Theme- Hanging Wedding Cake at Grosvenor House

So we’re back for 2017 with a bang and new projects bubbling away. But we would like to flash back to 2016, when we caught up with Karisha Pithwa, owner of Crème De La Cakes and her show stopper of a cake “Enchanted Garden Theme Hanging Wedding Cake at Grosvenor House”

Luxury wedding cake company Crème De La Cakes had clients Kish and Kithy come to see her with one request  “ We would like something unique and bespoke”.  Karisha then set about creating something just that!

Her surroundings….. non other than The Great Ballroom within Grosvenor House one of London’s most sort after wedding venues.

The theme for the glamorous wedding reception held at Grosvenor House, a stunning ‘Enchanted Garden’ Theme, which Karisha used as her inspiration for her grand 17 tier bespoke wedding cake suspended in a 12ft birdcage.

Karisha says “ No two clients are the same and it’s my job to ensure that each client’s custom designed  cake is bespoke. My aim as a luxury asian wedding cake designer is to ensure that each work of art leaves our bride and groom as well as their guests speechless”

A showstopper wedding cake for this lavish affair!”

The ‘Enchanted Garden’ theme bespoke 17 tier luxury wedding cake was adorned with pretty lace detailing and beautiful pearl frame work encasing the couples initials. This was delicately piped by hand and then hand painted with antique gold to match the 12 ft birdcage.

As a luxury wedding cake designer, Creme De La Cakes also provided the beautiful floral work around the superior wedding cake

The team here all agree it was sure  a showstopper of a wedding cake for a lavish affair!
