FARRELL & CHASE LOVES PINTEREST…

Pinterest is an virtual pinboard where you can pin a collection of all the amazing images online that inspire you. I love that you can have multipal pinboards for different topics, follow other people’s boards, repin an image you like from someone elses collection onto one of your own boards and like other people’s pins.

Pinterest is oh so perfect for compiling your wedding inspiration boards!

Happy pinning!

HIGH TEA ANYONE?

You may remember I introduced Pearl & Godiva on the blog previously, as a Farrell & Chase Loves feature. When I saw this stunning new photo shoot of their wonderfully whimsical vintage china I had to share. I love this teapot so so much…

Pearl & Godiva offer an extensive collection of stunning vintage china for hire for every kind of wedding as well as banqueting chairs, tables, sofas, vintage tablecloths, antique chandeliers, lanterns, birdcages, candelabras… everything need to turn your wedding reception into a vintage wonderland!

Pearl & Godiva now also organise exclusive hen nights and bridal party tea parties at your venue of choice, with vintage table linen and lace, antique bone china and silverware. Afternoon tea, what could be more sophisticated!

You can also purchase their beautiful bespoke cake stands directly from their website. They would be so pretty for displaying your wedding cupcakes…

FARRELL & CHASE LOVES PANCAKES…

I love pancakes so much, they are possibly one of my favourite foods. Maple syrup and Nutella are my toppings of choice, yummm! Personally I prefer the skinny variety, more like a crepe really…

I was so looking forward to Pancake Tuesday that I convinced myself it was last Tuesday. I had pancakes for breakfast and lunch before I realised I was a week early and then, well I had to use up the batter, so pancakes for dinner too.

Happy Pancake Tuesday!

Whats on your pancakes today?

FARRELL & CHASE LOVES DESTINATION WEDDINGS…

As most of you probably know myself and Alan are busy planning our wedding in Rome this Summer. I have been to a few destination weddings both in Italy and Spain and have to say, I love them! Everyone is so relaxed, the sun is shining (hopefully) and the celebration usually extends over a few days allowing you to spend time with friends and family you normally mightn’t get the chance to do so with.

I love seeing real destination wedding for inspiration and getting advice from brides who have planned their own destination weddings. So I thought it would be great if there was a dedicated space where fellow brides planning their dream destination weddings could come to find inspiration and advice and so, flyawaybride.com was born…

I was thrilled to launch Fly Away Bride on February 14th, yes Valentines day, and the feedback and reaction for everyone has been great! Fly Away Bride will feature only the most unique and gorgeous destination wedding related content, brilliantly talented vendors, real weddings full of style and great ideas and of course my personal experiences while planning my own wedding in Rome!

I hope you enjoy the blog x

DESTINATION WEDDING STATIONERY - ANRI & ANTHONY

Last year I had the pleasure of designing and letterpress printing Anri and Anthony’s destination wedding stationery for their 10.10.10 wedding. They chose our Fly Away wedding suite which we customised for their French inspired wedding in South Africa. Anri and Anthony both met and live in London but chose to host their very chic wedding in South Africa where Anri grew up.

The French inspiration came from their love of France, “it’s intoxicating.. Anthony has a beautiful little maison on the river in Limoges where we spent six months in the summer. I got to love the French countryside and its people as much as the bustling city life in Paris and it was easy to draw inspiration from this.” Using this inspiration they wanted to add that certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ to the style of their wedding stationery and throughout their wedding…

I was delighted to design and print save the date cards, invitations, RSVP postcards, menus, seating tags, gift boxes and thank you cards all inspired by vintage luggage tags, guide books and travel stamps.

“We wanted to thank you very much for the exceptional stationery you have produced for our wedding. It has been an absolute delight dealing with you and we are so pleased with the exquisite set which you have designed. It perfectly reflects all that is elegant and you have made for a fantastic experience and a very happy bride and groom! Our sincerest thanks.”
Anri & Anthony

I have to say when Anri sent me the images from their wedding they really took my breath away, she is a stunningly beautiful bride and their wedding is so gorgeous! You can see their full wedding and an interview with Anri featured on Fly Away Bride.

It really was a pleasure to work with Anri and Anthony on their wedding stationery. Thank you for sharing your photographs with us, I wish you only the best for your future together as husband and wife!
