To all my lovely blog followers and passers by...
I wanted to apologise for my lack of blog posts in recent (embarassed to say) months!! I have been having a wonderful time planning weddings (including my own) setting up my RBWD facebook page (stop by if you haven't already) and generally living in wedding world.
I am now back on the blog train and aim to update you over the coming weeks with all the exciting things we have been up to as well as all the exciting things we have planned!

About Me

- I just love weddings, how can anyone not?! There is something so wonderful about two people gathering with those who mean the most to them and promising to love one another always. I can't help but get sucked in to the magic of it all and so Rebecca Barnett Wedding Design was created to help each bride create some magic for their own day.

Wedding Planner Turned Bride - THE dress!!
Finally I have found the one - my wedding dress! To all you brides who were lucky enough to find it in the first shop you went to you well done, I was not one of those brides....
The dress hunt started in February and after a total of 8 dfferent shops and trying on at least 60 different dresses and obviously loads of fun I was losing all hope that I would ever get the feeling that every other bride was telling me about, the feeling where you just know!
Well, yesterday morning at the beautiful Eleganza Sposa on Bath Street, Glasgow with my Mum, I finally found it. I had a good feeling as soon as I walked in (loved the gorgeous corner sofa in the waiting area and there was loads of natural light pouring in from the huge georgian windows). Michelle who served me was just lovely and spent time getting to know what I liked, a few minutes later I was whisked through to the changing area (another gorgeous room) where all the dresses I had described where hanging waiting. It was the first one she put me in and knew it was the one and my Mum's reaction confirmed I was right, I didn't want to take it off! After that no other dress compared - I had finally found it!
Unfortunately I can't give away too many details for obvious reasons but be sure to check back in July next year to see the pictures! :)
Happy hunting for your dress if you haven't found it yet, trust me you will!

Scottish Wedding Directory - New Issue!
The new issue of the Scottish Wedding Directory arrived at the RBWD offices today! I just love seeing what new things the wonderful wedding suppliers of Scotland have to offer. Here are a few of my personal favourites...
Caroline Castigliano
I just love the glamour of one of Caroline's new creations (pictured below) how fitting that it is called Paris!
It is only enhanced by the wonderful silk duchess satin used to create it! See more of her deisgns at www.carolinecastigliano.co.uk
HoneyMoney
If like me you're struggling for what to do about a wedding gift list, then it might be worth you having a wee look at www.honeymoney.co.uk
HoneyMoney allows guests to purchase parts of your honeymoon in affordable amounts, whether is champagne by the pool in Mauritius or Italian cooking classes in Venice even flights and hotels; you can pick what you would like and then your guests can view your wish list and contribute towards whatever you have chosen. It is a far more personal way of guests giving money because they see where their money is going.
Juicy Stationery
Juicy Stationery have a fabulous collection of wedding stationery on offer with a wonderfuly twist in their unique designs. Whether it's from their pre-designed collection or you want them to create something entirely bespoke have a look at their website: www.juicystationery.co.uk for ideas. They are also offering some fab discounts!
I'll be sure to share any more great finds when I get the chance to read through SWD in more detail.
Have fun reading, and if you haven't got your copy yet order it online at: www.scottishweddingdirectory.co.uk

Tea Party
As many of you will know, my favourite "meal" of the day is afternoon tea, there is something entirely decadent about eating gorgeously decorated cakes and sipping tea from a china tea cup, especially when sharing it with fab friends! Which is exactly what I spent the majority of Saturday afternoon doing in my newly decorated dining room...
..and I just couldn't resist colour coordinating it all, down to the icing on my freshly made cupcakes. It all started when I found the most beautiful striped wrapping paper by Caroline Gardner from John Lewis and then teamed it with coordinating ribbon and paper from Hobbycraft...
I spent most of the morning baking, much to the pleasure of my fiance who would magically appear to lick the bowl!
We indulged in red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (my favourite)...
rocky roads...
vanilla cupcakes...
and a couple of treats courtesy of M&S...
and the final touch was some fresh white tulips...
everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and we were all suitably stuffed by the end of it!

Working with colours: Breakfast at Tiffanys
On one of my many visits to the wedding section of Martha Stewart's website (if you haven't been already I would strongly recommend it!) I discovered some fab images of a New York wedding themed entirely around Tiffanys...
I love the subtle twist (tiffany blue alone is just too easy!) Through adding coral and blush pinks it lifts the tiffany blue and adds more depth to the colour scheme...
It's one of my favourite ways to work with colours, pick your favourite colour and either team it with different shades of an opposite colour or different shades of the same colour, the effect is always beautiful!
Happy colouring!
