The days are getting cooler and the trees are starting to put on their amazing display of colourful leaves, so I thought the gorgeous colour combination of yummy peach and nutmeg would warm your day. The peach colour for weddings is often associated with spring and summer as it is lovely and fresh, but teamed with a warm, spicy brown and even a touch of bronze or gold it is perfect for a tasteful autumn wedding.
I love the combination of a gorgeous soft pink with natural elements like linen, wood and taupe colours. It creates a romantic and slightly rustic feel. This kind of wedding is classic and sophisticated and works well in all seasons.

Just a quick note to introduce you to our newest designs added to our baby range – Sleepy Owls. This invitation can be used for a Christening, Baptism or naming day and comes in pink or blue.
Last year the colour was ‘Honeysuckle’, this year Pantone has announced ‘Tangerine Tango’ as the colour of the year for 2012. Described as a spirited reddish orange, it is definitely a vibrant colour and has a real ‘wow’ factor to it. I will be interested to see if it’s popularity grows over the year as brides-to-be look for something new and fresh to add to their weddings.
Tangerine can be used as a pop of colour against neutrals, camel and greys for a warm, subtle effect. I loved this gorgeous inspiration found on Green Wedding Shoes for a winter wedding. You can find more stunning pictures from this shoot here – Winter wedding ideas – Snowed In.
I love this combination of tangerine and tiffany blue I saw on Style me Pretty, very pretty and sophisticated.
Team tangerine and fuscia to create a vibrant, fun and colourful wedding.

You could either opt for tangerine bridemaids dresses or maybe go for neutral dresses and a splash of orange in the bouquets.

As for wedding stationery, Poppiseed Designs has many designs that would look great in tangerine!

There is an old saying “blue and green should never be seen”, but I don’t believe that at all!
Blue and green seem to be the colour of the moment as we have been sending out so many invitations in different shades of these colours. From sage and sea green to aqua and baby blue, they are definitely the most popular colours chosen for invitations right now.
When grouping a few of the different blue and green invitations together, they looked so pretty and complimented each other so well that I felt inspired to create an inspiration board based on a blue and green wedding. I love the effect of combining soft and bright blues along with sage, mint and sea green. This colour palette is so pretty and fresh, it just makes me think of cool summer breezes and after dinner mints!

It was so wonderful to flick through the 2012 Brides Diary magazine and find our wedding stationery featured on a few pages! This is a big magazine, jam packed with wedding advice and inspiration.
White Magazine is a beautiful, inspiring wedding magazine full of ideas and advice for your special day. So we were thrilled to find two of Poppiseed Designs wedding invitations featured in there!
It is so much fun to see how little changes of colour or fonts can give the same invitation design a whole new flavour. Our Kensington wedding stationery suite has been very popular lately and it is lovely to see the different ways it can be changed to suit different wedding styles.
One couple requested to have their Kensington stationery suite printed on a recycled card to give it an earthy look. It was printed in chocolate brown on our flecked Bier Weizen recycled card.
Another couple wanted to incorporate a border into their design and we also ended up adding two little flying birds, which was a really sweet little touch. They also had the colour changed to a navy blue to suit their wedding colours.
So there you have the same invitation suite, but two different looks acheived with simple changes of colour, fonts and card.
Our wonderful stockist, Prior Engagement has done it again and had some of our invitations featured in the gorgeous Real Weddings magazine. This magazine is simply gorgeous from cover to end and I recommend it as a good read to any bride to be.
Our Pink Peony invitation was featured in the ‘floral delights’ page and our Polkadottie invitation was featured in the ‘rustic charm’ page.
I’m so excited to introduce you to our newest wedding stationery design – Tree of Life. I was inspired by all those gorgeous bohemian brides having beautiful outdoor ceremonies under huge trees. This stationery suite has an earthy feel and combines images of scrolls, birds and, of course, a beautiful leaf-filled tree. For those of you wanting an eco-friendly wedding we can also print this stationery on recylced card!
