Colour Trends, Ideas for your Wedding Stubby Coolers: Red, Yellow & White

If you are planning a vintage wedding in 2014 then you should definitely consider this red and yellow colour combination! Lightened off with the usual white wedding trimmings will make for some great wedding photographs like the one in the centre of this collage...

The modern twist of coloured paper straws for your wedding is becoming a very popular trend and is also a great and simple way to brighten up your wedding reception bar and tables, a little colour goes a long way. Be mindful of the time of year and make the best from seasonal wedding flowers for your bridal bouquets, white peonies and yellow freesia would match perfectly against the classic red rose.

The stunning combination of a yellow bridesmaid dress with bright red shoes will simply pop in your wedding photographs, the bride might like to match her shoes in with the girls and then dress the groomsmen and rest of the bridal party with matching wedding attire, buttonholes and other wedding accessories.

Couples these days tend to have a limited wedding budget and will choose a mostly DIY wedding, there are so many ways that you can make a saving, from creating your own wedding invitations and hand-making your decorations, to holding your ceremony later in the day and having an evening cocktail style reception so that you don't have the expense of a sit down meal.

Coolaz's wedding stubby holders are also a great and inexpensive wedding favour gift for your guests, they can also be personalised to match your wedding colours and theme to make cute decorations. You can add the bride and groom names along with the date of the event and even include an individual guest name to double up as a place card, so they will become table decoration, place card and thank you gift all-in-one, another great saving!

Sparkling Diamond Themed Weddings, Designs and Ideas!

A diamond ring is a thoughtful gift of promise, an engagement of two people with the same intentions of marriage.

They are so unique, and to most a diamond will symbolise love and eternity. The expression ‘diamonds are forever’ is in fact not far from the truth, since diamonds are the hardest of all the gemstones and will last a very long time… this too is symbolic of a love worthy of marriage that is also said to last an eternity.

With such a powerful gem beginning your journey to everlasting love it is only right that this theme be continued through your wedding day and be shared with your friends and family. Although, of course it would be considered a little excessive to shower your guests with real diamonds … that is why we have come up with a few alternative ideas to help you with your wedding theme and decorations…

Valentine's Day Design Inspiration.

So, it’s that time of the year again when cupid draws his bow...
Valentine’s Day is observed on 14^th February and is a day for honouring one or more early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine. It is traditionally a day on which couples express their love for each other by presenting flowers or exchanging cards and gifts.

In more modern times it is becoming increasingly popular to propose to your ‘valentine’ on Feb 14^th and with 2012 being a leap year we may witness many role reversals with the man receiving the proposal rather than making it! This would generally happen on the leap day, 29^th Feb, however has more recently spilled over into Valentine’s Day too!

Modern Valentine’s Day symbols include love-heart shaped outlines and of course the figure of the winged angel cupid. Here are some of our Valentine’s Day inspired designs for your engagement party, wedding day or general announcement:
