"Time to drink champagne and dance on the table.."

Lydia and Steve

Today we are showcasing the jaw-dropping wedding of Lydia and Steve who got married in May of this year in Abbeyleix Church of the Most Holy Rosary, with their reception held in the spectacular Castle Durrow Co. Laois, Ireland. A seriously grand affair with a modern twist.

The couple at first weren’t sure on a colour scheme “When we first started wedding planning we were a little bemused by the idea of a theme!” but in the end they went for metallics contrasted with a beautiful dark teal.

We supplied the couple with table linen for their feature tables – our sequin champagne tablecloth adorned their Sweet tables, and our gold sequin tablecloth sparkled on the guest signing table (or guest globe in this case). 

Lydia told us “I came across sequin cloths while on one of my many Pinterest hunts and knew that we had to have them for our feature tables. It was surprisingly difficult to source good quality cloths that weren't ridiculously expensive and I nearly gave up a couple of times until I came across Magpie Linens. Once I saw that I could hire the cloths I knew it was perfect!”

Silver also featured strongly in the wedding; Lydia’s dress had an applied silver diamante design across her waist and shoulders, and take a look at the back! Just stunning! Silver is also seen in the Groom’s tie and the enormous candelabras on the tables.

We love Lydia and Steve’s attention to detail with the pops of teal throughout.

“From start to finish it was so easy dealing with Magpie Linens and they were so helpful even offering advice on which colour/pattern would look best and sizes. Excellent customer service which is exactly what you need in the run up to your wedding day!”

Elen and Aled's White Welsh Wedding

Elen and Aled

In June of this year Elen married Aled at Sylen Lakes in Five Roads, Llanelli in Wales. A self-confessed girly girl the wedding featured beautiful shades of pinks and golds.

The couple’s elegant table decor looks so crisp and fresh with the white linen and transparent tall vases, complimented perfectly by our champagne sequin table runners and cloth.

 “Magpie linens were so helpful when it came to choosing the right shade of gold I wanted to compliment the shade of pink I was having, sending me numerous samples before I made up my mind. I highly recommend if you want to add a unique touch to your wedding.” 

Elen choose feminine pinks in the form of roses and carnations amongst baby’s breath and green foliage in her centrepieces. Every glittery table number was displayed within a pale pink frame with a short note underneath highlighting the significance of the number to the couple (how sweet!).

We love the boldness of the cakes - continuing the simplicity of the white seen throughout; the couple shook things up with gold sequin-like tiers and pretty piped flowers.

 

Many thanks to Elen for supplying images of her wedding to us (copyright Pure Creations Photography) – we wish you and Aled every success for your future together x

Maria and Nick's Pink and Gold Wedding

In today's blog post we bring you the wedding of Maria and Nick, who tied the knot in May of this year in the US.

Their wedding featured one of my all-time favourite colour combinations - blush pink and gold.  

The couple complimented the oh so pretty pink roses with our blush sequinned cake cloth, which looks so beautiful teamed with the gold in the cake.

Maria also purchased our dramatic gold sequin tablecloths that were matched with  personalised champagne flutes and sparkly table numbers.

 We absolutely love the blush and the gold coming together-it has such an elegant and feminine feel to it

Congratulations to Maria and Nick - we wish you all the best for your future together! 

Sohaila and John's NYC themed wedding

Sohaila and John

In March of this year Sohaila married John at Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. The couple got engaged in New York and as Sohaila had a love of all things NYC this was the theme they based their wedding around. 

With iconic skyline-shaped place settings, NYC postcards on tables and million dollar chocolate bar favours; the couple complimented their day by adding in splashes of gold and pink. Seen in Sohaila's silk bouquet and cake (both made by her Mum!) and on the champagne sequin tablecloth they hired from us. 

Sohaila told us "Magpie Linens were great. I searched all over for the sequin tablecloth. So glad I came across Magpie Linens with the perfect product and price. Delivery and collection was well arranged and communication was great! Will definitely use Magpie Linens again.."

Thanks Sohaila for supplying the images (copyright Jon Bird). We wish you and John all the best for your future together! x

Real Wedding - Andrea & Peter

I was so pleased this week to see an email pop up on my screen from Andrea, a bride I had the pleasure of supplying some sequin linen to in August. As I scrolled through the stunning images (courtesy of Lauren Fair Photography), I knew this would be the perfect feature for this, my very first Real Wedding blog post! 

Andrea and Peter tied the knot at the spectacular Cairnwood Estate in Pennsylvania. (You just know it's going to be a swoon-worthy wedding when the venue's tag line is 'Experience the grandeur of the gilded age')

Andrea opted for blush tones running throughout the decor, peppered with subtle hints of glitter and gold.

The chevron sequin, paired with blush flowers and foliage runners, are proof indeed that sequin linens are the perfect accompaniment for an elegant wedding.

The happy couple used our rose gold tablecloth for their sweetheart table, framed by a wooden screen bearing the lyrics of You Are The Best Thing (by Ray LaMontagne, not nineties one hit wonder D-Ream, in case you were wondering).

More rose gold sequin cloths were used as accent pieces throughout the reception.

And what a beautiful bride Andrea made.

Plus, any bride that matches her tablecloths to her sparkly clutch is a friend of mine...

Wishing Andrea and Peter the very best in their new life together.

English Garden styled photoshoot

Back in the summer we supplied some of our linens for a styled 'English Garden' shoot by Sanshine Photography, and here is the end result. And what an antidote to this chilly December morning it is.

Stylist Charlotte Munro has paired our delicate blush sequin cake table cloth with soft pastels and delicate vintage styling.

Meanwhile the co-ordinating tablecloths have accents of punchy pink blooms and lush green foliage.

Seriously, how spectacular are the flowers, by Indeco Flowers?

It's getting us very excited about all the upcoming Spring weddings we are supplying gorgeous linens for! One trend we are hoping to see continue into next year is the floral crown - would you rock one on your big day?

This is just a snippet of the shoot featuring some amazing vendors; I'd really recommend downloading the current issue of Ultimate Weddings Magazine to see the rest.
