Yellow is such a gorgeous colour, it has been my favorite colour since I was a little girl, never mid pink, I was alway a fan of yellow and my mum dressed me head to toe in yellow from a very early age! I had yellow has my colour at my wedding, my office is painted yellow and I am having yellow and green (my 2nd favorite colour) as my colour scheme for my 40th birthday!………..obsessed much??? well who cares, I LOVE yellow! It is such a cheerful colour that I think it is perfect for any wedding and I can see why it has become so popular recently! Who can’t be happy when you are surrounded by such a warm, happy and energizing colour.

So I have put together 4 boards for you, to offer some ideas and inspiration on how you can incorporate yellow into your wedding day. I hope you like them.

It’s the wedding of Laura and Jamie Drake who met at work 7 years ago, they were married on 3rd December at Fulwood Old Chapel in Sheffield with the reception at The Millennium Galleries. They had 80 guests to the ceremony, and a further 70 for the evening reception. It took 18 months to plan the wedding.
Laura and Jamie describe their day ‘It started off well……….It then got even better’

I love Jon’s use of winter light in these pictures, the dark chapel in comparison to the light bright space at the millennium gallery. The portrait shots are beautiful both in the winter gardens and outside in the street., City Centre weddings may not have the rolling countryside and beautiful views but you do sure get some artistic shots with a bit of imagination!

The Proposal
Jamie proposed at home after a nice meal. He made a ring out of tin foil and put it in a ring box with a poem asking me to marry him.

The venue
Some friends of ours got married at Fulwood Chapel, and we loved the relaxed and personal service. It’s a Unitarian chapel which means you can be any/no religion to get married there.
We chose the millennium galleries as we loved the look of the venue, and also liked the way you could more or less have what you wanted. There were no minimum numbers and you didn’t need to have a formal sit down meal, which we found to be the case at a lot of hotels.

The Dress
Dress – Marilyn by Charlotte Balbier.
Accessories – vintage 50s borrowed from a friend’s Mum
Shoes – Christian Louboutin madame butterfly

The suit and bridesmaids
Suits – Cerruti
Bridesmaids – Mark Jacobs

Theme
Midnight blue, red and cerise pink – we wanted a bright winter feel

Food
Hot meal – steak and ale pie, mushy peas, gravy, roast potatoes and hendersons relish!
Evening buffet – cheeses, warm breads, pickles, local chutneys, fruit wedding cake

Flowers
Vanda Orchids

Decortation
Paper pompoms and lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Table centres of willow wired with vanda orchid heads. Loads of candles!

Personal Touches
We made the decorations for the chapel ourselves. Over time we collected lots of different hanging hearts, then twined berries and ivy from my Mum’s garden through them. These were hung on the aisle chairs.
For our favours, we had wooden hearts, stars and snowflakes made with our initials and the wedding date. These were tied with ribbons in our wedding colours. These were hung from a willow tree with fairy lights, and a sign saying ‘please take one home for your Christmas tree’

Special moments
It’s hard to answer this as it was all brilliant, but saying our vows at the chapel was lovely. Also, after our first dance when the DJ asked our friends to join us on the dance floor, everybody surged on and surrounded us, and the dance floor was full for the rest of the night!

Planning Advice
Enjoy the planning. Stick to what you want and don’t get swayed by what other people think you should have.  Wedding magazines are great for ideas, but don’t feel pressured to have everything you see.  For the day itself, try to relax and enjoy it. Also, take moments to look around you and take it in.

Biggest surprise
Our sisters surprised us with a vintage wedding car!

We are notonthehighstreet.com, the award-winning online marketplace where you can always find the most inspirational and wonderful things.
Holly Tucker and Sophie Cornish formed notonthehighstreet.com in 2006 when they created a beautifully designed virtual marketplace for shoppers to browse and buy from a wide range of constantly updated, innovative and well-made products.

Today more than 2,000 independent UK sellers offer over 40,000 high-quality creative products through our busy checkout.

The range of beautiful wedding styling products that are sold through notonthehighstreet.com came about organically and continues to grow and develop as each new seller joins the marketplace.

In 2008 our Wedding Gift List service was launched, and recently trumped the competition to win Best Gift List accolade at the Wedding Ideas magazine awards in January 2012. We are extremely proud of the service we offer and of course are now brimming with pride at our recent award win!

Our unique Wedding Gift List service lets our married couples to be choose special, quirky and personalised gifts that they’ll treasure for years to come.

This unique offering of gift ideas is what makes us stand out as a gift list service with a difference.

You can upload a photo and a welcome message to greet guests when they view your gift list, which is just one of the personal touches that many of our couples appreciate. We have recently introduced an innovative gift list builder tool that couples can use to build their list with us; you can try it out before you set up your gift list.

For a while now I have been having a bit of an identity crisis, running the wedding planning business as well as the blog can sometimes be a bit confusing! The two things have grown enormously since I started back in December 2009 and they have both separated to become their own businesses. I work equally hard with both of them, and they each have their own demands and needs.  This is all amazing and I couldn’t be happier but I have been feeling for a while now I needed something to unit them together.

Often people ask me for a logo for a press piece or for publicity and I never really know which one to give them, the wedding planning logo or the blog logo. Yes they are both very similar and I have tried to keep the Boho brand running throughout both of them, BUT it has been hard to promote one without promoting the other.

So I decided that I needed a Boho Weddings Logo that would form a umbrella brand for the two of them………….and for whatever other ways I decide to develop Boho in the future! So with a lot of help from my graphic designer and a few of my industry friends (you know who you are and thank you for your opinions and comments) I have a new  Boho Weddings Logo.

This Logo will be used for all Boho publicity from now on, and will be used for new business cards and literature. The wedding planning website will stay the same, and the wedding blog will stay the same for now BUT It will be having a  massive re design at the end fo the year, so this logo will be used then as the basis of the design.

I tried to keep it similar to the original Boho Brand, more of a development from the original design, clean and modern,  I didn’t want to move to far away from the original.

There is also this variation on the Logo which can be used as an app type logo for the mobile blog and other things that will come up.

So do let me know what you think, I hope you like it?

If you follow me on twitter you may notice that I have also changed my twitter name from Boho Events to Boho Weddings, something that I hope will unit the whole Boho Brand together a bit better.

Next I will be working on a new Boho badge to send out to suppliers I have worked with and people who have been featured on the blog, so if you have an old one keep an eye out as I will be sending out shiny new badges in the next couple of weeks.

It’s been another busy week, and after nearly a week away last week I have been playing catch up all week and failing miserably, so much so that I am now working all day today (much to Nik’s annoyance) to try to catch up. It has been enquiry and consultation city at Boho HQ this week so I have a pile of proposals to get through today, as well as a load of admin and a few other bist and bobs! My Mum is coming to stay next weekend so I HAVE ti take 2 days off so I will make up for it then!

So on with the best bits, another packed week in wedding world, so put your feet up for a few minutes and enjoy my highlights!

•  Today I headed off to The Tatton Wedding Show to met up with my friends Nicola from Nicola Thompson Photography, after what can only be described as a nightmare journey (due to snow.) I eventually got there and met up with a host of wonderful northan wedding suppliers. My fav has to be Adi from Verdure Flowers. Adi is one of the nicest people I know in the wedding industry, so accommodating and always ready with a funny comment and a laugh. His Flower company won best stand so I am over the moon for him!

• When I got home I had a parcel waiting for me, I had no clue what  it was but was over the moon when I opened it and found a lovely box full of cake pops from one of my suppliers. I had given a recommendation to one of their potential clients which resulted in an order………..and they sent me this amazing box of cake pops to say thank you, what a thouhtful idea, this will keep me and Nik happy all Saturday night!

So onto todays film, it’s been brought to you by Ben Marlow from Kissing Gate Video  It’s the wedding of Antje & James who were married on 10^th December at Monkey Island Hotel, Bray, Berkshire.

Antje & James’ Wedding Highlights from Ben Marlow on Vimeo.

Ben says that the venue was amazing ‘Peacocks on an Island, I suppose I am easily pleased’ . I have to say even though this is quite a traditional wedding the couple look so happy Antje is such a smily bride, which is always a joy to see. Ben has done a great job with the edit of the film as well, some great angles and  great production.
