Wedding Mood-Board

The other day, I made a life board with the three words ‘Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose’ (apparently three things humans seek in their life from the book ‘Drive’ by Thomas Pink that Im reading)… anyways, I thought that a wedding mood board would be a great idea for brides wanting to create a whole vision of their wedding.

Tulle Decorations

I first fell in love with tulle for weddings in a Martha Stewart wedding book where there is a striking image of the bride’s tulle veil and some potted plants.
On holiday in America, in Walmart of all places, I stumbled upon some tulle in rolls for sale. They would make the most perfect wedding decorations on a budget! I wish they sold them in the Walmart equivalent, the Asda supermarkets here… but Alas! atleast some American brides reading this blog may find this useful.
