Eco styling is a wedding trend we are lusting after in a big, bad lustful manner. Okay, that may be a little over the top, but we really, really like it a whole awful lot! It’s about nature, and taking the raw unique elements it has to offer and constructing them in a beautifully assembled tablescape. We love the colours Splash Events have used in this theme. They have allowed the colours, understated floral arrangements, succulents and impressive twig centrepiece to take centrestage by complementing them with simple white dinnerware and clear wine glasses. A rustic feeling is brought into the mix…

I’m going to get a little bit smug here, I’m sorry, but it’s entirely called for. Because it is now widely known that The Bride’s Tree is the bearer of the prettiest expo stand in all the land. And this is where my smugness ends, because while I would love to take credit for it, the concepting and styling genius belongs entirely to Hayley Shum from Wholehearted Studio.  This time last year we launched our first ever expo stand at the It’s My Wedding expo, and exactly one year later, we have had a complete redesign by the same clever lass,…

The inspiration for this styled bridal photo shoot in Peachester is the beautiful, blooming Jacaranda Tree. Popular for its prettiness of lavender leaves littering the ground below, the Jacaranda Tree at this Peachester wedding venue, Mango Hill Farm, has attracted many a bride to its canopy.  This shoot actually featured in Volume 4 of The Bride’s Tree free online magazine, however we couldn’t fit in all of the gorgeous images by Marion Jonkers Photography that we would have liked to. So we are sharing them with you now, my pretties! We are not a selfish mob, we would not keep such splendour to…
