create a rustic garden with romantic charm


Creating a romantic inviting garden or patio can be achieved with a few accessories that create intrigue and ambiance during warm alfresco evenings and summer days.





Add some natural twig lights into bushes and trees to give a twinkling effect within the garden. alternatively hang from trees or pop onto your outdoor table some heart candle lit lanterns.


Hang some create tin hearts to individual branches in a tree or dot around the garden attaching to fences, posts and windows. Weave zinc heart garlands into the branches of trees, wrap around the trunk or hang like bunting under the parasol.



pop a romantic
twig heart on a door, gate or tree to create a lovely welcoming feeling when entering the house or garden. these are also great for weaving seasonal flowers such as heather, lavender and blossom to really highlight the concept.




Mix these ideas in amongst your favourite plants and flowers. I find with plants and shrubs that evoke an emotional memory are the ones that I am always drawn too and care about the most.

cupcake cake stands - wedding decorations

Why not decorate your wedding day table with these cake stands..... double up, use as decorations with flower tea lights or fresh flowers as stunning table centres during the wedding breakfast and then when the wedding cake is to be served ask the reception staff to take them away and return with slices of wedding cake or decorative cupcakes........ you could also use the cake stands in the evening as a quirky alternative to the buffet by popping them on different tables with nibbles and home made biscuits.....

HINT: you could even give them as gifts at the end of the wedding!

Decorate Your Windows With Victorian Boxes

Decorate your apartment windows and create some real vintage charm. Victorian style window boxes really stand out with there age rustic copper effect and reminiscent Victorian pier style arched design. These window boxes are a real eye catcher, decorated with a selection of rustic plants, maybe a lavender or a twisted willow.
