Sweat the small stuff

I bet you thought you read that wrong. Ok, don’t literally ‘sweat the small stuff’ but when it comes to tying together your wedding theme with truly impressive styling, the little things really do add up. Much like popping on a great belt or necklace with your outfit, it’s the ‘little things’ that make a big impact to deliver that WOW factor you want to impress your guests on the day.

The Autumn 2010 New Zealand Weddings issue has some seriously gorgeous styling tips, which - despite being simple steps - will give your wedding day that little somethin’ somethin’.

Here are a handful of my favourite styling tips from the issue – you’ll have to grab a copy to find a few of your own favourites.

1) Thread roses onto string tied with ribbon to bring a rustic quality to your tables.
2) Decorate plain cupcakes with real flower buds or pretty petals.
3) Place candles in sand filled jars and set them ablaze as the sun sets.
4) Get a luxe look for less with elaborate flourishes of glossy satin ribbon on the back of each chair and around your cake in lieu of intricate icing.
5) Cover children’s colouring books or doodle pads with a plain wallpaper in your accent colour.

See – it’s the small stuff that really lend a sense of style to your wedding day.

What ideas do you have for making your wedding stylish?
