Top of the morning to you! 😉 Given that I had a quiet one on the blog yesterday, I'm treating you today with three Pinterest worthy blog posts. Well it is Friday after all, and anyway, you are my much loved blog readers, you deserve it 🙂
This utterly fabulous inspiration shoot landed in my inbox recently courtesy of York based Wedding Photographer, York based Wedding Photographer, Annemarie King. I just love a colour based inspiration shoot and this one celebrates one of my favourite colours of the moment – yellow! 😉
The images on this page have been designed purely to inspire you – to create ideas that you can lift and transfer into your own wedding day or event. And nothing is over complicated or fussy, it's just a case or working out how a colour, or colours can work together in the various little styling aspects of your day. Anyway, I do hope you love some of these ideas that the creative team behind the shoot have come up with for you…

Annemarie collaborated with a fab team in producing these lovely images, which included Dress designer Andrea Bambridge, Florists Horticouture and purveyors of all things sweet Cake!. The team was led by Nikki Foster of I Do Designer Weddings {clearly one wedding Stylist and Planner who knows a thing or two about how to make things look plain fabulous!}, and it is Nikki who talks to us today about this inspiring images you see on this page. Details to die for my loves, details to die for….
"The shoot was all about being fun and quirky – we wanted to show that the little details can make a huge difference when it comes to your wedding photos. If you look through the imagery you will see the same colourings, materials and staging, carefully used to create a fantastic visual…"
"My brief was to make it happy and fun, and something that stood out. My first task therefore was to come up with a theme.
When I started designing this wedding shoot I was thinking festival style – hay-bales, guitars, Hunters with flowers coming out of them, chalkboards, a farmhouse table dressed in a quirky way to give a chilled out luxurious feel, a table plan using song titles for table names…"
"I wanted it to be bright and fun so decided on yellow with touches of stone polka dots and silver. Christine from Florists Horticouture felt that Daisies would work well as the main flower and so created a stunning bouquet that felt like our bride had just wandered through a meadow and grabbed a handful of flowers.
Most brides want to wear a stunning dress so we approached Andrea Bambridge and she offered to create something just for the shoot. Our model looks stunning and relaxed; just how a bride should look on her wedding day…."
I love daisies in bridal bouquet's, they are just the loveliest…
"Because we wanted to get across the idea that weddings don’t have to be traditional, we used more relaxed outfits for our Groom, Bridesmaids and Page Boy. It looks fabulous and fun and can still work with a ‘wow’ Wedding Dress…."
Oooooh, yummy cakepops! Just about the right size to pick out of the page and eta 😉
"You can’t have a wedding without cake so the lovely Sarah at Cake! offered to help out. I requested Cake Pops to give it a relaxed feel and she created not only the most stunning Daisy themed Cake Pops, but also a full 3 tier cake…"
I just adore this shoot so much 🙂 Huge thanks to the creative team involved in pulling off this stunning set of inspirational images {see below}. Brides in and around York should look up all the suppliers in the list below…
Any of you lovely people using yellow to style your big day? I'd love to hear your plans 🙂

Much love all,
Annabel xXx
