Hello lovelies! It’s been rather a perfect start to the week here, with nothing but blue skies, the birds singing in the trees and yesterday’s gorgeous glamping engagement session. I hope you didn’t miss it because with a teepee, a flower crown and the most magical dusk light it really was something special. It made me wish, even more than ever, that Mr E and I had taken the time out of wedding planning to arrange an engagement shoot – take a look for yourself and see what I mean here. Well, today the gorgeousness continues thanks to the creative talents of the lovely ladies at Chic Vintage Brides fave Beacon Lane who created this rustic chic wedding inspiration board especially for you……

Flower Crown ~ Leaf & Honey, Jessica Sim Photography via Magnolia Rouge, Barrel ~ Cheryl Dawn Photography, Inc. via Style Me Pretty, Table Setting ~ Whitewall Photography via 100 Layer Cake, Dress Detail ~ Vera Wang, Groom ~ Grace Photography via One Fab Day, Invite ~ Ivory Romance by Beacon Lane

 With just the right mix of rustic chic and romance it is brimming with ideas perfect for a cosy barn wedding or a relaxed mountainside wedding. I love the natural colour palette of browns, ivory and just a splash of dusky pink with that heavenly flower crown. And how pretty is the updo? Loose and natural it has a hint of old world romance but would suit the more bohemian bride perfectly too! In fact, it is definitely deserving of a closer look……

Also I adore the use of baby’s breath, or Gypsophila, so simple it is the perfect choice for a rustic wedding. The delicate little white flowers means it makes a super pretty bouquet and boutonniere, whilst its budget-friendly price also makes it ideal for table centrepieces and aisle decor.

Sara and Jessica at Beacon Lane pulled this lovely board together around their burlap boxed wedding stationery suite Ivory Romance, a timeless classic created from recycled paper. I love it in this palette with the rich brown design against the warm taupe of the invite paper. Whilst the layers of textures with the sand specks in the off-white envelope, burlap liner, and the fabulous hand made flower gives it a look that is both rustic and opulent at the same time……

 You just know your guests will feel special unwrapping such a beautiful little box! The full suite includes everything paper you could possibly need: invitation, ceremony card, info card, RSVP card, envelopes, belly band and name or date tag. There are even Thank-you cards available to match! But don’t panic if that sounds a lot, because Beacon Lane have various alternative packages, that enable you to tailor your order to suit you and fit your budget. And if you want to see Ivory Romance before placing an order, I know it can be hard to make these all important decisions online without having seen how the finished article looks, then you are able to purchase a sample over at their Etsy shop, just click here for details.

If you love this design but not the colours, then fear not for all Beacon Lane stationery suites are  fully customizable – you can change the colours, fonts, wording, backing paper, lining material (as well as burlap they have linen and tissue if you want a more luxurious look)… In fact, pretty much everything can be altered during the ordering process.

And if rustic isn’t for you, but you love the artisan look of Beacon Lane invites, then do take a peek at their past wedding inspiration boards Vintage Lace or the sleek and chic Urban Elegance, or the super sweet Ruffled Romance – a floral beauty in the prettiest of pinks! With such a varied selection of styles and designs you are sure to find something you love. You can also follow Beacon Lane on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to be the first to see any new designs!

Oh goodness, after such a gorgeous start to the week I am going to have to find someone extra special for tomorrow’s Chic Vintage Bride!
