Happy lunch time blog lovers! This is one for all of you feeling you need a mid-week lift and spot of creative inspiration – a DIY tutorial that is unbelievably easy but one that produces really beautiful results.
This gorgeous little DIY tutorial was created by Carrie Southall, Creative Director at Ruby and Diva and also founder of relovedstyling.com.
Ruby and Diva really is a beautiful place to get lost in and supplies everything from wedding dresses to bridal headwear, jewellery, accessories, wedding shoes and the prettiest decor.
Sara and I thought you lovely lot might appreciate a splash of colour next time you try some DIY and I can’t think of anything prettier or easier to achieve a colour pop in your wedding photographs than this.
You will need:
- Water colour paper – we used A4 for this DIY, but you could use A3 for larger placemats!
- Watercolour paint – we used Windsor & Newton Artists watercolour tube in ‘Quinacridone Magenta’
- Paintbrush ( worth investing in a nice watercolour one)
(1) Get yourself set up with your paper on newspaper or cloth to protect your work surface. Grab yourself a jar of water and squeeze some of the paint onto a plate.
Many thanks to Sara Smyth of Ruby and Diva Weddings – which I would like to encourage you all to visit this afternoon please! It’s a beautifully curated online boutique for all brides with discerning style.
