A Timeless White Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas!


Today's post is a little off the topic of Weddings, and is a little more focused on the Timeless White christmas theme this year! Though, I have no doubt you will find something useful that could be used as decorative pieces at your Wedding. Infact, that is one tip we often tell our Brides, that Christmas time is actually a very opportunistic period to pick up some gorgeous deocrations and some fantastic Wine bargains!


So, here's how the Timeless White Christmas is beginning to look this year....

A Timeless White Christmas


Vintage Christmas is very much a hot trend this festive Season, with even Harrods re-releasing Vintage Christmas cards from their 1900's ranges, we have some gorgeous 1950 cards on order, you can see the entire vintage range at Harrods online, here. Other cards that we will be posting out this year include Ling Design Charity Cards with a gorgeous picture of Santa Claus enjoying relaxing by the fireplace (£3.95 for 10 from Dobbies Garden Centres) and a lovely cheerful pick of St Nicholas from one of many ranges at Asda (£2 for 20 or 3 packs for £5).


The Timeless White Christmas Post

 At Timeless White, even at Christmas we simply cannot exclude Flowers from our Decoration, and this year our imagination was captured by these unbelievably gorgeous clip on Flowers at Dobbies, available in a range of colours (£1.99 each). These are especially good buys as they can easily double up for a Wedding, used to decorate your Chair bows or Napkins. We have also used some simple Frosting decoartions which could also be used as Napkin or Chair Bow decorations, or you could even decorate a Wishing Tree with these! (3 for £3 at Asda).

Tree Decorations can easily be used at your Wedding

Our tree is beginning to get busy underneath with all of our Presents for our loved ones this year and we have decided to continue with the Vintage theme with our wrapping. Old-fashioned wrapped presents sit so well under a tree, there's something really lovely about receiving a gift that looks really wintry and like something that's been delivered straight from Santa's factory! So we used Brown Paper from John Lewis, a variety of Tartan ribbons from HobbyCraft, Marks and Spencer Wrapping paper (Which is year-on-year our favourite paper retailter!)  and some Red & Silver foil to bundle smaller gifts into. And, on passing, we simply couldn't resist a gorgeous gold sparkly gift box, complimented with a lovely twinkling bow from TK Maxx. available in Red too (£2.99 each).

Vintage Christmas Wrapping

We hope that you have found this post a good read, and leave feeling filled with ideas for themeing your Christmas, or even your Wedding! Think how beautiful those Flowers would be clipped onto a Gold ribbon around your guests napkins on their places, or how delicate touches of tartan could be added to your day by using Ribbon to wrap your bouquets stems in or on your Table Plan....

Wishing all our readers a very Merry Christmas and lots of love, luck and happiness (And beautiful Weddings if yours is planned!) in 2011.

With love, TW x
