{Inspiration} Its not all about Red on Valentines day

Good Morning my lovelies and Happy Valentines to you all! 

Valentines day has been around for some centuries and for a long time now, red has been the associated colour for this 'one day of love'. February is suppose to be the most romantic month in the calendar, however so far it was been cold, cold .. and very cold. But that may be different for you wherever in the World you may be.

So to break all traditions, as we at Shaadi-Esque love to do; we are showcasing an inspiration board for peach, pink and subtle tones of cream. If Shaadi-Esque had it our own way, we would make a lot more changes to St Valentine's promising day of Roses and gifts.

This absolutely adorable inspiration board is full of chic, suave, elegant and pretty stylish all mixed in one.



Just some light and fluffy romance inspiration board to sweep you off your feet on this well celebrated Valentines day!

Keeping you Inspired!!

{Inspiration} Wedding Invitation

Happy Monday readers!! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, I was lucky enough to spare some time and pop down to Trafalgar Square yesterday for the Chinese New Year Parade and celebrations. I was far too trigger happy as my camera's 16G memory card was almost full. It was a beautiful day full of performances, dance routines, martial arts, parades, plenty of Dragons and so much more.. It was wonderful being a part of the day's festivities. But anywho ... Back to lovely weddings ......

Today's post is simply but surely opening your eyes to some pretty great and different Wedding Invitations. So many styles to choose from - there is no need to choose one you have already seen before.



It never quite amazes me how different the floods of wedding invitations I receive are. They come in different shapes and sizes, designs and colours, pop up or information wallets and laser cut to handmade with elaborate jewels.

Your Wedding invitation says a lot about you and your wedding. It makes a statement, and is almost like a sneak peek into the wedding itself. Save the dates, wedding invitations, place cards, menu’s should all me kept to the same theme, font, colours etc. Consistency is a necessity and your guests will remember the whole journey far better from the moment they received your invitations to the wedding day itself. It’s a definite psychology.

Here are some pretty great, retro and different wedding invitations that will draw a smile from any guest. Wedding stationary is easy to customise, you just need to find the write stationary supplier who matches the ethos you are going for.



These two are pretty and funny, depending on your personalities, your guests, your themes - these are all things you should take into consideration.



This one has a very Vintage or Western  feel - so if it suits then go for it.



This one is gorgeous, I know there are a few brides who will fall over just looking at this. If anything it makes a statement.



These two are just classic examples of how creative you can get. The one to the right is most probably my favourite. You just give your guests a little piece of what they can expect at your wedding and you will notice how many RSVP's and funny phone calls and emails you will receive.
