Wine tasting & colour scheme inspiration

Sunday, 13 September 2009

Wow, where are the weeks disappearing to? Can it really be the middle of September already...

We've had a great week at Magic Dust, spending some time planning for 2010 - it really isn't that far away - as well as putting the finishing touches to a surprise 'non-wedding' event we're planning for next month (I promise to blog about it when it's not a secret anymore!)

One of the highlights of our week was the invitation to an exclusive wine-tasting evening from our friends at Wines Unfurled. They were christening their beautiful new premises deep in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside with an evening of New Zealand wines and delicious canapes. Not only that but we had the pleasure of the company of the winemaker himself from the Man 'O War vineyards - it made such a difference learning about wine from someone who really knows what they're talking about.

Jerome & Carrie of Wines Unfurled run these tasting evenings on a regular basis and there were more than a few regulars there this week - 2 of whom we were lucky enough to share a table with - and the concept is a simple yet educational one that could prove very useful if you're looking for something a little bit different, and personal, for your wedding wine.

Even if you're just looking for a bit of advice and inspiration for wines to complement your wedding breakfast that are different to the norm in all but price, do consider getting in touch with Jerome. If I were marrying the man of my dreams again, I'd definitely be on the phone!

The drive through the Chilterns in the early evening sunshine was absolutely stunning and conjured up images of colour schemes for late-summer country weddings. Fresh palettes of green with yellow and orange make for a stylish yet simple effect that isn't overpowering nor twee but provides the perfect backdrop for the most important element of any wedding - the couple celebrating the start of their marriage. Thanks to Style Me Pretty for these beautiful images that show exactly what I'm trying say!

Until next time,
