Interior Chatter — boxwood wreath

We can't get enough of spring weddings. It's the season of new beginnings, after all, what better way to celebrate than with the start of a new commitment of love?!

And this year's Pantone Colour of The Year - greenery - provides the perfect base to create the rustic, romantic wedding of your dreams. From design and decor, to fashion and food, greenery pairs perfectly with some of our favourite hues. 

GREEN & GOLD

Green and gold creates a whimsical, boho chic atmosphere for your special day. Give your hairpiece or wedding dress some extra golden sparkle, grab some gold lettered balloons, boxwood wreaths with gold ribbons and have your tables set like the fairy queen that you are.

GREEN & BLUSH

Choosing blush pink and green for your wedding colours offers endless opportunity for true, blissful romance. Be unique with a blush wedding dress, choose traditional light pink roses and don't be afraid to experiment with invitations. Table linens (tablecloths, runners and napkins) are one of our favourite accents for a blush theme - offering the perfect setting for a rustic cake and/or centrepiece. 

GREEN & SLATE BLUE

Green and slate blue is one of our personal favourite palettes of the year. From Linens and invitations, to muted blue succulent flowers and cakes, slate blue offer a natural, peaceful atmosphere for your romantic day. And it pairs perfectly with greenery decor, like boxwood wreaths, centrepieces and bouquets. 

GREEN & BEIGE

For the true hippie brides at heart choose green and beige. You can play around with texture and colour, from different textiles like linen, burlap and wood, to various shades of tan, taupe and brown. Wrap twine on your invitations, go with a classic, neutral bouquet and add some nature to your cake for a dreamy landscape like no other. 

GREEN & GREY

Close to slate blue, but a bit more muted, we love a simple grey and green wedding palette. Grey men's suits with a green tie, an ombre cake and table linens are just a few of our favourite grey wedding ideas. The colour feels light and airy with a sense of mystery - we love it! 

Each year when the holiday season rolls around we find ourselves in the typical Pinterest black hole (we all know so well). In constant search of new and original festive decor. 

To make it a little easier this year we've gathered our top 5 ideas for creating the perfect farmhouse Christmas, even when you don't have much to spare after gift shopping. 

1. USE WHAT YOU HAVE

Have a pair of ice skates in the garage? Or perhaps an old lantern in storage? These can both be easily repurposed as winter decor items. A quick clean up and a fresh coat of red paint later and all you need to find is the right setting to create a vintage, country style holiday space. And the best part is you didn't spend a dime. 

2. BURLAP, BURLAP AND MORE BURLAP

Burlap fabric can be found for excellent prices online and in stores. And it's one of our favorite go-to's when decorating a cottage farmhouse style home. Add it to wreaths, banisters, mantles, trees, you name it - burlap can make it a little festive. 

3. ALWAYS ADD A TOUCH OF GREEN

Boxwood wreaths are the perfect touch of rustic charm to any farmhouse space, especially during the holiday season. It's fun to play around with different ribbons and uses, from table centrepieces and chair decor, to the more traditional doors and walls - the wreaths will last you all year long (making them an economical choice) and add a classic touch of christmas spirit to any room.  

4. DIY YOUR HEART OUT

Pinterest is also heaven for any DIY fans. And when you're working with a tight budget, what better time of year to get your craft on? A few of our favorite DIY festive ideas include adding paint and glitter to pine cones (simple, but stunning) and wall art including lyrics to your favorite christmas carol. Go to town, and use what you already have in the house - paper, markers and glue still go a long way. 

5. DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE RED

Literally any red item you have in the house, use it. Your kid has a red toy truck or old red wagon, clean them up and find a spot for them. Red Flyer wagon's are a great place to stack gifts next to the tree, and a toy truck can make a perfect little vintage touch to the mantle. Ribbons, wrapping paper, ornaments - all of these items can all be used to add the perfect finishing touch of red.
