Morning guys + dolls!

Thank goodness Monday's over and done with, hey?! Well, we're about to get super pretty all over yo' face today as we round up some of our favourite Pinterest inspiration from the month of January! With the new year came a whole bunch of amazing new ideas: from superbly colourful ceremony back drops, to hanging flowers, to some seriously gorgeous texture inspiration for your bridal outfit.

We've been pinning our little hearts out to find you the freshest on point style to have you swooning with glee and bursting with ideas for your 2015 wedding.

So without any further ado, grab yourself a cup of Joe and prepare to be inspired beyond all you've ever dreamed of...

For those in the know, ceremony backdrops have been a seriously hot concept for a little while now. We've seen streamers, we've seen glorious floral garlands, we've seen the lot! But as we came into the new year, 2 polar trends seem to be emerging where ceremony backdrops were concerned...

Au naturel...

...Think lace canopies, indigo hand-dyed fabrics, rustic woods, and candles all paired with a luscious dose of green foliage.

A simple, clean, hyper-natural palette paired with soft, humble textures.

Perfectly understated.

I mean, is there anything better than those insanely gorgeous muted colours of those bunting triangles?

Plus, hello?! Who knew un-strung bunting could look so incredible?!

But then on the other side of the pond, things got a little more (wonderfully) cray-cray...

Yah.

..Like a rainbow just slapped you in the face right?!

AND. WE. FREAKIN. LOVE. IT.

Summer weddings totally need to hit up this abundance of colour and texture for their ceremony backdrop.

More colour, more layers, more texture.

More is more.

'Cos, come on! We know you want all the tassels.

Who doesn't?!

So, I'm like, head over heels for this concept.

Not all brides are full on flower gals, (yes, that's me you can see, raising my hand), and for those brides looking to add a whole load of originality to the flowers involved in their wedding, look no further.

Go for all foliage, or add in deep dusky pinks or lavender and simply: hang your flowers.

Yeah, you understood right, hang them upside down like, as if you're drying them...

This trend is popping up everywhere. All the it-girl fashion shoots are making this wholly natural statement.

It puts such an unusual, rustic edge on the fresh-flowered look.

It's effortless chic and we just can't get enough of it.

And just to add a little spin to it, why not hang oversized cactic leaves? Or single stems in test tubes?

As long as the leaves or blooms aren't conventionally arranged, you're pretty much nailing this trend, gals!

And yes, this pantry-esq look compliments our favourite 2015 trend, Industrial Styling, insanely well!

Honey, it's safe to say this trend is sticking around, and I dunno about you gals, but I couldn't be more stoked!

Whether it's a braid or a knotted look, your locks are gonna look SO DANG FINE on your wedding day!

...And FYI (yes, speaking from experience here) nothing lasts as well as a braided up do! Aside from attempting to pick copious amounts of lavender confetti out of my hair on our wedding day (rather unsuccessfully I might add. Dude, I was so chilled for the rest of the wedding!) my hair stayed intact for the entire day without a second thought (or hair grip!).

And umm hi, they're SO friggin' priddy!

Add ribbon. Definitely add ribbon.

And as for this almost mowhawk-style knotted up-do..

Well, SWOON.

Every hair tone, every length.

Knots or braids; babes, you can't go wrong.

Yes!

The kindness movement, the antithesis of that infamous Mean Girls line ' You can't sit with us', this all inclusive, sociable vibration is catching, and it's spreading right into the wedding world also!

We've see so many crazy-good pins inspiring couples to create spaces that encourage socialising and interacting with fellow guests.

Outdoor lounges are a great place to start, still ridiculously on trend, you really can sit with us, whether there's a spare seat on the Chestfield, the edge of a hay bale or simply a spot of grass left, congregate together around a focal point, be it a gorgeous chest-come-coffee-table, the guestbook or a fire pit...

Get your guests together!

And duh, NOTHING makes people socialise like food, and a share platter is hands down the best way to get people chatting, laughing and sharing stories!

Customisable spaces are just everything.

Us British peeps all too often resign ourselves to our designated seat, whether it's sat where we wanna be, where we're comfortable, or not. To the point where we'll leave a conversation unfinished, even though we're completely captivated chatting to said person, just to take our rightful seat...

Whelp, 2015 is the year of taking whichever seat you like. Encourage guests to customise spaces, to congregate naturally, organically, to move the floor cushions, to sit on the walls... There's such freedom and positivity to be had in allowing people to socialise and group naturally!

Power to human instinct!

And lastly, add a little playfullness to proceedings to get your guests gelling and causing a raucous!

Who said crackers were only a Christmas thing, anyways?

Last up there's some SERIOUSLY luscious dress inspiration all over Pinterest right now and one of the key elements?

TEXTURE, darling.

After all, why be 2 dimensional when you could be 3?

Ruffles, dreaded faux furs, heavily textured lace, if it's feels interesting, if it moves, it's HAWT.

Drape veils for dreamy portrait shots, push up your sleeves for added dimension, swish that tulle skirt, spin in your fur... Werk it, girl!

For. Real. The year of texture is here and not just one: layer up those fabrics for maximum impact and on point bridal style.

And then? Then send us a photo so we can drool at your magnificence and wish we could be brides again. #justkiddin #actuallybeingserious

Ahem! See y'all tomorrow dolls!

Peace + Love
