Wedding colours - Brights / Multi-coloured

Over the coming months I am going to look at different wedding colours and themes to give you some ideas for your upcoming wedding.

First up, I thought I would start with something fun and cheery for what is quite frankly a dull and miserable day outside so we are looking a bright coloured or multi coloured weddings which was a trend in 2013 and will continue in to 2014.

If you are feeling brave you could go full out and have bright colour everywhere, from table decorations to cakes, to wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses, and even have *shock horror* clashing colours:

If you aren't that brave you might consider using white as your main colour and add splashes of colour here and there in the shape of your nails, gift tags, flowers, shoes or paper lanterns...and maybe you can convince your groom to where a pair of outrageously bright socks or a multi-coloured tie:

If you want more inspiration for a bright or multi coloured wedding, have a look at my pinterest board here

Are you having a bright or multi coloured wedding, and if so how are you incorporating the colour?

StampedbyJayne - an Etsy shop

If you've been following me on twitter you'll know that I have been having problems linking paypal buttons with the pages on this site - making it difficult for me to actually sell anything! There was me, all pleased as punch that I had managed to add in a "add to cart" button or a "buy it now" button...then I came to test it and it didn't work!

So now I have an etsy shop instead of having pages on this site - its much easier to manage!

The etsy shop can be found at https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/StampedbyJayne so if you are getting married or know someone who is, help a girl out and spread the word!

Oh and if anyone has experience of linking paypal and BlogSpot and can give me some tips or advice then leave me a comment!

Hello!

Hello, and welcome to my blog...and well I guess my shop too! Stamped by Jayne!

I thought I'd take this opportunity whilst I am waiting for some of my stock to arrive so I can start crafting, to explain the purpose of this site and a bit of background about me.

Recently engaged, I decided that it would be fun to make my own wedding stationery...and now I've well and truly caught the bug!  I had so many ideas going round in my head in styles and colours that wouldn't even fit in with my wedding, that I ended up not being able to sleep properly. 

And don't get me started on the price of some of the pretty things that I was looking at on the internet.  If there is one thing that really annoys me about weddings it's the fact that you just have to mention the word "wedding" and pound symbols flash up in people's eyes.  Here in the UK, if you wanted to hire a venue for a 50th birthday party and food for 50 guests it would cost you a certain amount.  However, change that to a wedding reception and keep the same food and same number of guests and suddenly the price of everything triples.  And its the same with things like invitations, gift tags, thank you cards, favour boxes and all other wedding related paraphernalia. 

Here you will always find wedding stationery at a reasonable price that pretty much costs what it costs me to make them - I'm in it for the fun of making the things and not for ripping people off!

I've created separate pages for the various things that I intend to sell.  Please bear with me while I set this up, take pictures, get used to having a layout that isn't just one basic blog post  etc - I work full time so I am doing this all in my spare time and I'm not a web designer (hence the BlogSpot website as oppose to a "traditional" one.)

I'm also going to write a few blog posts about wedding colours, themes etc that are popular in 2014 and 2015 and maybe some more unusual ones too, to give you some ideas because lets face it when you start planning a wedding you have absolutely no idea where to start...unless you are Monica Geller and you have been planning this since you were a child.  I say thank goodness for Pinterest!
