<p style="text-align: center;">I always like to blog about local companies so when I found Bristol Vintage I just had to broadcast it. It has everything you need from crockery, bunting, jugs of wild flowers and even wind-up gramophones to make your day a day to remember. They cover the whole of the south west co-founded by Ali Cook &amp; Katie Daniels.  Between them they have over 10 years experience organising boutique events, weddings, parties and film premieres.  A really beautiful website and look out for SlaterSparke Ltd on their blog!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Yet more DIY wedding inspiration. Simple colourful flowers in some vintage vase jugs can look so stylish as your centre pieces, or dotted around the garden for that summer wedding. The flowers you wouldn&#8217;t even need to buy from a florist, any fresh flowers would look nice from your local M&amp;S. Remember to buy them on the morning of your wedding to guarantee they are freshly cut the day before, so will last that little bit longer!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">My favorite flowers are hydrangeas, roses and peonies so I couldn&#8217;t help sharing this bouquet as well. Without the peonies its still very fresh and again will suit any colour or theme, but I see some lovely green bridesmaids dresses going perfectly with either of these wonderful bouquets!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The bouquets above we&#8217;re found at Petals Floral Designs.</p>
