A Vintage Feel

We love the vintage look and our favourites BHLDN have once again put together a gorgeous collection of vintage style accessories and gowns. The website is really inspirational with ideas for hair and makeup as well as beautiful photography.

Cake Toppers

With the right styling you can turn anything into a stunning and individual cake topper that reflects the mood of your wedding. We've found some images that vary from simple to quirky but this is definitely the tip of the iceberg, with a plainly decorated cake as a base and using some imagination and creativity is all it takes to create a showstopping cake.

Images found on BHLDN, Pinterest and welcometodeluxeville.

Happy Lab

We think this sweet packaging from Happy Lab is brilliant! Sadly based in Australia and not easily available to us here, we are inspired to create our own even if it means being reminded of the dreaded science lessons at school!

Beautiful Butterflies

Some images are atmospheric or striking, others are truely beautiful.

Here are some images that we think are all of the above!

Book Report

To indulge in our passion for flea markets without spending a fortune we decided to expand our library and get some gorgeous books to inspire us. 

Flea Market Style by Chalmers & Hanan is perfect as its images and styling are beautiful. Sadly it leaves us wanting to shop even more after seeing all the treasures just waiting to be found!  

 From the same collaboration as the above Flea Market Style, this book, Modern Vintage Style shows a fantastic collection of room sets from a specific style view point.

It also has some handy tips on how to achieve certain looks and feels in your own interiors.

We hope you enjoy these books as much as we do.

RE

A firm favourite here at Nikkabelle is the store RE, with such an eclectic mix of product for sale its impossible not to be completely charmed.

Find them in Corbridge in the North East or in Liberty in London and buy all those things you didn't even know you needed! 

Coastal Inspiration

Inspirational images from Coast Magazine.

Not just full of hot air!

After seeing this stunning table on a blog by Amy Atlas, and seing this great pic on the Wedding Magazine website we've decided to indulge in our love of balloons. These oversized, round balloons look great on their own or floating in a cluster. 

Available in brights, whites or pastels, we've done our research to find a few of the many suppliers who stock them.

It's Love!

Here at Nikkabelle we love a wedding outfit, so imagine our joy when we found that BHLDN, the sister company to our favourite Anthropologie has started shipping to the UK.

Gorgeous wedding and bridesmaid dresses, accessories and party outfits are shown in beautiful images with top class styling.

Enjoy shopping, we know we will!

Simple Flower Arrangements

 Kilner Jars with wild flowers are perfect for the spring and summer.

 A bit more formal and glitzy, chandelier droplets are hung from a bud vase.

 Filling teacups with flowers is so cute and easy. Vintage teacups can be found

in most charity and antique shops.

Add handmade labels to jars. Ceramic, paper or wood will

 all add to a country theme.

Peggy Porschen

We love these stunning cakes by Peggy Porschen.

Her individual mini cakes, cupcakes or the more traditional 

tiered style are all beautifully decorated.

You can try creating some yourself as she has several books on

the market, all with mouth-watering images.
