It's Friday! (Naoise is getting married today-yay!) This week we have three amazing companies to share with you which we found on our web travels. From pretty tableware to gorgeous bridesmaid dresses, this weeks Stuff We Love is not to be missed!
If you are on the hunt for a floaty and feminine look for your bridesmaids or maybe a pretty little number for your rehearsal dinner then we have found the designer for you. Juliette Hogan is an Aussie gal who established her own clothing label back in 2004 and since then has gone from strength to strength. She is a clever lady and knows that bridesmaids come in all shapes and sizes and has made it her business to make beautiful, flattering dresses for all body types. This is her newly launched bridesmaids collection which is a fresh take on the traditional, frumpy bridesmaids dresses we are used to seeing. We particularly like the elegant pleating details and floaty fabrics. And don't fret ladies because although she is based in New Zealand you can purchase her gorgeous dresses from her website or from Precious Peg.
When Julie Andrews sang about brown paper packages tied up with string being in her list of favourite things we couldn't agree more. Nothing is as exciting as receiving a classically gift wrapped present especially when it has cute twine tied around it! And if it is cute twine and gift wrapping accessories you are after then why not try the lovely folks at Swann&Smerlin. They sell handmade craft and packaging supplies and some really lovely gift and postcards. Their cute craft supplies would be perfect for packaging up wedding favours or adding that special DIY touch to your invitations. But the best bit of all...They are Irish and are based in Dublin and you all know how much the OFD team love it when we find crafty Irish companies. You can have a look at their sweet supplies on their website or on their Packages and Strings Etsy shop.
We seam to have hit the jackpot this week as we found not one but two lovely Irish companies. Jennifer Slattery is an Irish designer based in Dublin who creates beautiful textiles for the home. From cushions to chairs, each of Jennifer's designs are as beautiful as the last. Her printed linens are so chic and have a vintage vibe but with a modern take. We think any of her collection would make incredible wedding gifts. All of her work is designed and made in Ireland which is just the icing on the beautifully designed cake. For any grooms out there who are approaching their 4th wedding anniversary why not impress your bride and invest in one of Jennifer Slattery's collection. Linen is after all the traditional 4th wedding anniversary gift! Her work is available on her website or over on her etsy shop.
Happy Freeday Everyone!
