Are you considering a blush pink and gold colour scheme?

Posted by Akiko Design on 29th March 2017

Pink and gold are a popular colour scheme choice for summer 2017 weddings. Pale pink and white have always been an popular choice for both dresses, flowers and decorations. The twist on this colour combination is the addition of the metallic, luxe gold. The added element of a geometric pattern also creates a more modern look.

Little Wedding Ideas has a complimentary range of pink and gold products for your wedding. If you just wanted a subtle nod to this trend you could use something like the ‘Just Married’ bunting in rose gold, or the personalised mini chocolates which include a blush colour palette. Alternatively, you adopt this colour scheme throughout your day with our full range of Geo-Blush products.

Our full range of items include rose gold ‘hello’ and ‘love’ balloons with script text, treat bags, save the date cards, invitations and evening invitations, table confetti, guest book, cake boxes and name cards.

How to make your own tuck shop style sweet suitcase

Posted by Akiko Design on 7th March 2017

This week we have created a tutorial on how to put together this sweet ‘sweet suitcase’ for your wedding reception. We have included instructions on how to make the easiest bunting in the world EVER.

What you will need:

Suitcase – we have a selection here, or you could use a lovely vintage find.
Fabric – charm squares work perfectly
Bias binding
Needle and thread or a sewing machine
Iron
‘sweets’ lettering either in cotton, felt, iron on letters, or iron on vinyl.
A selection of dishes and jars
Sweets
Sweet bags, labels and tongs

How to put it all together:

Cut out 6 x squares of your chosen fabric ( approximately 15cm x 15cm)
Fold each square corner to corner to create a triangle. Machine or hand stitch along one length. Trim corners and excess. Repeat for all six squares. Turn inside out and trim across the top to create a triangular bunting pendant. See images.
Measure the width of the suitcase and cut a length of bias binding 15-20 cm longer than the width of the suitcase. Fold the bias binding in half and iron a crease along it’s length.
Place or pin each bunting pendant in the fold of the bias binding and sew into position. See images.
Cut out and glue or iron on ‘sweets’ lettering across the pendants.
Attach the finished bunting to the suitcase.
Place a range of dishes, jar and stands in the suitcase.
Add the sweet bags, labels and tongs.
Add your favourite sweets and there you go, your very own handmade sweet suitcase.
