From miniatures to greats

Paper pom pom flowers

They always look so elegant and make a great substitute for the real thing. You might not be able to tell here, but these ones are smaller than your average pom poms, the glass jars bottom left are only a tad bigger than those mini aromatherapy oil bottles you get.

Pint-sized plants

So awesome and low maintenance, why can't all my houseplants be so easy to take care of and cool looking. Succulents are the new black!!

My new vintage Dickens collection

Went to a flea market at the weekend and came away with these puppies! They actually came with the green twine around them and I thought it looked so nice that I'd take a picture first before untying them... I still haven't actually untied them as I can't get over how beautiful they look like that.

Small cute and dangly

I went into my favourite shop in Odense the other day The og Idé. I would seriously like to buy nearly everything in there if I could afford it, but this time I just ended up with the cute danglies above and the hairclips below that I am currently in love with. Next time the cake stand I spied will be mine!!

Hairclips to die for

And finally... I can't decide if I will sport one of these for Stephanie's wedding... I'd like to wear all four simultaneously as I love them so much, though I think I might get some strange looks!

Dead entertaining

I never knew that inanimate insects could be so captivating, but today courtesy of io9 and my friend Arni drawing my attention to it, the art of Magnus Muhr has changed my opinion. These hilarious little critters crack me up.

Stephanie and Michael + other bits 'n' bobs

Stephanie and Michael are quite possibly two of my most favourite people in the world and I'm absolutely delighted by the fact that they're tying the knot at the end of this month. I'm even more delighted that Stephanie chose me to be her MOH and not only that, but she chose my boyfriend and (when I'm not busy with MOH duties) I to take their engagement and wedding pictures.

(This is one of my favourite polaroids ever, taken on the beach when they came to visit a couple of summers ago.)

Seeing as we live in Denmark and the wedding is in the UK, everything is being crammed into one, hectic week.

We're off to Whitby the weekend before for the engagement shoot, which I absolutely cannot wait for; I love that seaside town. Then the rest of the week is going to be a mad rush to get all the decorations and bouquets made in time for the big day.

In the meantime, in the run up to the wedding, I've been sending Stephanie ideas for elements of the reception decor.

Her good friend, the talented Nic Hearnshaw (or "my little design princess" as she is otherwise know by Stephanie) transformed Steph's ideas into the extremely cute invites pictured.

I found the glasses randomly in H&M, they look great with my bridesmaids dress; can't wait to get them on after the ceremony! ;)

Steph is also a huge fan of the vintage style, which will be playing a part in the theme of her wedding, so I thought I'd vintage up some pictures, to see which style she liked best.

I'm totally obsessed right now, with old Danish milk and beer bottles, miniature pegs (the ones above are actually from a Danish advent calendar) and of course all things vintage, like the awesome books pictured that I picked up the other day.

Really hoping I can keep up the blog posts in the run up to the big day, though I have to say, the days are flying by now at an alarming rate... 26 days and counting!

In the beginning...

I've been putting this off for a couple of days, as to be honest, I had no idea where to start. My best friend is a soon to be bride and she really seems to have added fuel to the fire (so to speak) of my passion for design, what with all our discussions about her wedding decor and the big day. The beginnings of this blog are also owed to her encouragement and enthusiasm for my ideas. So I guess, from now up until the wedding and hopefully beyond, I'll be sharing some of my decor ideas, photography and well, anything else that tickles my fancy.
