Instant Impact Wedding Gifts

With spring well and truly upon us and Summer just around the corner, it’s a great time of year to embrace the lighter longer days and add some brighter colours into the home. I am always on the lookout for that special ‘something’ to give my home a quick update and more importantly that spark of colour it so deserves now we are out of the winter gloom!

There are so many ways this can be done and here are my top 5 tips for adding that instant impact that we all want to achieve! Hopefully these ideas will give you the inspiration to add some colour to your gift list!

Nostalgia Rules!


If you are anything like me the first thing I need to start the day is my morning cuppa! These storage jars from Cornishware are a welcoming bright start to any day. Dishwasher and microwave safe this range is one of the toughest on the market and compliments our current love for all things retro!


Blooming Bedrooms


There is nothing like the feeling of climbing into fresh new bed linen! Pip Studio have always been one of the fore runners of the brightest linens around. Their latest design Le Bois Fleuri, features this season’s coolest colour, blue, but with a twist of hot pink….I think I need a lie down!


Living Room


I admit that I am a little bit addicted to buying cushions (hubbie doesn’t get it!), but there really is no better way to liven up your living room than by adding a new cushion (or 4!) to your sofa. There are so many scatter cushions to choose from but these jewelled beauties from Oka are sure to bring a touch of Moroccan glamour to any living room. The warm tones and soft velvet fabric will also take you into the cooler months and of course the matching throw is a must!


Heaven Scent!


Often considered to be one of the most traditional of wedding gifts, is the humble vase. They come in all shapes and sizes and of course colours. These new LSA ‘Chiffon’ vases in this seasons perfect pastels, will compliment your blooms beautifully! Each vase shows off the texture and essence of wind-swept chiffon fabric making it the perfect wedding gift!


Passion for Flowers!


Vases of course need flowers and there is nothing that says ‘wow’ like a beautiful fresh flower arrangement. So imagine receiving a bunch once a month, guaranteed - we can’t always rely on the other half! We have joined forces with a fantastic florist, Passion for Flowers based in Bath, to provide you and your guests a different type of wedding gift option.
