The fabulous ANTHROPOLOGIE have just launched their new WEDDING website… B H L D N (Beholden) it was unveiled on Valentines Day…and features beautiful dresses, shoes, jewellery and accessories all with a quirky, vintage feel. We are loving the offbeat feel, the beautiful fabrics and delicate hues…take a peek for yourself here: http: //www.bhldn.com/ Inspired by the Dutch word for “to keep,” as well as countless tales from family and friends of the extraordinary weddings they’d been part of, we began dreaming up something new.

There are so many ways you can play with this colour theme. We have noticed alot of black dresses popping up too, we are loving the idea of having bridesmaids in black…a lovely contrast to the brides white dress, and softened with crisp white flowers and green foliage or some really bright bouquets to contrast with the monochrome. Beautiful! See some lovely ideas here. Our gorgeous gatefold card looks stunning in White Alabaster textured card, with black…
