Bridal Shower: All Candy

I've been telling myself that I should blog more but these days, I'm finding that there are less and less hours in the day and it's hard to get into social media (Blog, Facebook, Twitter). During my hiatus, I've launched the new lilyboxdesign website which can be found here. The gallery is not fully updated but over the next few months we will be updating the gallery with more images. 

Today's post is inspired by the fact that right now, I'm surrounded with jars and bags of candy for an event we are doing this weekend; and while I was visiting some of my favourite blogs, I noticed this recent candy themed bridal shower on Martha Stewart Weddings which was put together by Darcy Miller for Dylan Lauren. It earned a wow from me and it's now one of my favourite bridal shower themes to be featured on that site. 

Below are a few images and you can also hop onto Martha Stewart Weddings or buy the magazine to see all the eye candy. You wouldn't want to miss this one. Enjoy!

Spotlight: Shoes

I love quirky and cute photography spotlight that focuses on unique details. Especially when said detail and focus is on the bride and groom. Like these pretty shots of shoes and the groom's socks. How adorable!

Brides and Bridesmaids

My blog posts have been scarce of late due to several reasons but mainly due to not finding the time in my extremely busy schedule to post about all the pretty things I find daily. Both around me and on the world wide web. There are so many amazing and talented stylist, photographers and florists around today that I'm constantly in awe of the inspirational images I come across and often blog about. So after 3 years of training, learning and taking in all the experiences I've earned, I will be officially launching my own event design studio in London this May. I am really excited and a lot of hard work has gone into putting all this together and I hope you will follow me on this new journey that I'm embarking on. It is scary and also exciting and I'm surrounded by a bunch of lovely friends and family who have encouraged me to take on this new adventure. There will be a lot of changes in the next couple of weeks or months and I'll update this blog as often as I can with details about my work and much more. I am really excited and Lilyboxdesign started out as a dream and it's now becoming a reality for me.

Today's post is a spotlight on beautiful photography on brides and their bridesmaids. I love when simple and unique details are captured by photographers. It's playful, fun and pretty without been too cookie cutter. I would love to know what unique brides maid photography style you've come across.

Dahlia Love

I love dahlias, oh yes I do! So when I was browsing through one of my favourite floral stylists blog (Kat flower) I came across this delightful photo shoot. Naturally, the gorgeous dinner plate dahlias were the first thing I noticed. Aren't they pretty? And kudos to the stylist, photographer and the amazing Kat flower for the beautiful shoot.

Cute Details: Rustic and Chic

This week I'm loving wooden trestle tables filled with beautiful floral details and finished with a lush table runner down the center. Completely smitten!

And a gorgeous all white with vintage touches!
