Purple the new ivory?
Recently I have had a few custom garter orders with a common theme...black and purple. They must be a very common colour this wedding season. I think the purple looks gorgeous!

Personalised, Edible and Budget Wedding Favours
Being a Wedding Photography gives you great insight into ideas for Weddings. There are so many elements to a Wedding no wonder it takes over a year to organise! You have everything organised from your flowers to even your Bridal Garter but what about your guests? One of the smaller but important elements to a Wedding are Wedding favours for your guests. They have become more of a necessity for some brides but I think they are more of a personal thank you from you and your husband for your guests to take away with them. Here are some of my favourite Wedding favours the have featured in some of my Weddings.
These are a home made jam and relish made by the brides grand-mother. I think it is a really thoughtful and personal gift from the couple and it really reflected the vintage theme to their Wedding. By far my favourite idea! So personal but also great to stay within your Wedding Budget!

Another awesome idea for a Wedding is personalised Roc candy! Not only do your guests go away with lollies to eat, it is also personalised with you and your husbands/ wifes name! They make the perfect Wedding Favour. This hand crafted candy is crafted to your own design and choice of flavours, wedding bonbonierre is personalised and fun for your guests!

You may have noticed a running theme with these featured wedding favours so far... well I did! They are all personalised with the bride and grooms name but they are also all edible! I found a couple more edible wedding favours as featured in La Belle Bride.
As featured in The Knot this bonbonniere is handmade and personalised for your guests. At the end of the day chocolate is always going to be a winner!:-)

Where did the Wedding custom 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' come from?
Wedding Traditions
After hearing the poem growing up I decided to look up the poem that a lot of brides turn to for their Wedding to find out what it actually means. It is funny how everyone seems to know of the poem but never knew what it meant. It's just something that has been carried on down the generations that you hear when you are a little girl and you begin to dream about your Perfect Princess Wedding. Every element in the poem has some magic to it that you just have to include in your Wedding day!
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
After looking it up I'd heard of the first two lines of the poem but never the last. I found out that these items are good luck charms worn by the bride to give her a future of happiness and financial wealth normally passed on from close family members that lead a happy marriage and of course from your mum.:)
I love the ideas that some brides have come up to bring good luck to their special day!
I have found that the most popular items that a bride uses for good luck is her mother's Wedding dress(Something old and borrowed), Her jewellery or dress( Something New) ...But I think the hardest question is how will a bride incorporate blue into her Wedding unless blue it's your colour theme?
I have sourced a few ideas to help inspire old traditions...
Why not paint your nails blue? I'm not sure about finger nails, but I think the pale blue toe nails peeping out look awesome!:) Just make sure you paint them well away from your Wedding dress! lol
...Or the latest trend is the make a big statement with your shoes! Bright colours are in this season so why not add the colour to your outfit with blue shoes which were featured in "the Knot"!
Why not make your whole colour theme blue? There are some beautiful blues out there and a deep blue can look beautiful with a vintage or burlesque style wedding with an ostrich feather completing the theme!
Blue wedding flowers are another option as there are some beautiful blue flowers out there..especially for that spring wedding!
You could incorporate the 'something blue' into your lingerie or Wedding garter which is why I sew on a little tiffany blue bow onto the inside of every garter I make, giving all of my brides a little bit of good luck for their special day!

This idea of the tiffany blue under the shoes is really subtle but you can still carry on the tradition and receive the good luck that the colour blue brings!
These are great little handmade something blue stickers as seen on etsy!

I love how some brides will make the colour statement but then the subtle ideas are somehow secretly giving you good luck for your life of happiness!
