I am not one for jumping about, waving a flag and cheering. But I do love to see the things people do at times of national celebration. Here a few photos taken over the Diamond Jubilee bank holiday weekend. There was a lot of bunting about.

Five Beach Wedding Ideas

Sally — Mon, 14 May 2012 14:22:02 +0000

Since receiving a number of orders for my airline-ticket wedding invitations, I have been having a look at a number of beach weddings for inspiration for the design of the wedding invitations. I therefore thought it might be appropriate to add my latest top five fun and inspiring beach wedding ideas to the blog. Enjoy.

1. Create a fun and entertaining photo opportunity for you and your guests to enjoy (photo from www.weddinggallery.org)

2. Personalise the signage throughout your wedding (photo from Embrace Life Photography)

3. Be creative with your table decorations (photo from www.blushingbridezillablog.com)

4.Take inspiration from the location – beach chairs and timber tables (photo from www.bridalcookie.com)

5. Get married in the UK at the UK’s first beach side wedding venue in Bournemouth (photo from www.bridalcookie.com)

If you have any images of seaside weddings that you would like to share, please get in touch.

Thank You
Sally
