First of all, I want to say hello to those who are new to Wedding Obsession. Welcome! And if you’ve been following the site for a while, you rock!
It’s always a pleasure to have Mark Niemierko (Top UK wedding planner) join us. Today he shares some snapshots from a tea party he recently hosted for Darcy Miller, the genius over at Martha Stewart Weddings. It’s always nice to see how they do things ‘over the pond’ in a luxurious and classic sort of way. A couple things you can take inspiration from? You can never have enough tea lights and GOLD is back!

After Wedding Day Picnic
You thought I’d jump straight into a wrap-up post didn’t you? You’re not getting off this easy…there’s more inspiration to share. Here’s a very pretty engagement inspiration shoot from some fabulous Ontario wedding vendors. Magdelena of Oh-So-Chic Celebrations paired up with Crystal of Crystal Clear Imagery to create a mouth-watering ‘after wedding day picnic’.
After a brainstorming session with Crystal from Crystal Clear Imaging and Magdalena from Oh-So-Chic Celebrations, we both agreed that the wedding day disappears by oh-so-fast and in order to long-ate the special day as much as possible, it is mandatory we have an ‘after wedding day picnic’, leaving plenty more time with your special guests in a much more casual setting.
Magdelena from Oh So Chic Celebrations pulled all great things that come with fall -eating al fresco, cozy blankets and yummy treats. Sticking to the traditional ‘fall’ flair was essential, with the red, brown and camel palette, with simple and classic stationary from ‘Pea Creative’. Such adorable wording allowed the guests to feel the airy, down to earth picnic kind-of-affair.
Oh so Chic Sweets created the caramel dipped apples, accompanied by her first attempt to this rustic cinnamon cream cheese frosted cake. And to top this homespun affair we incorporated apple cider with the finishing touches of straws from brilliant bash and tags from pea creative.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared one of my “latest obsessions”. And for this one, I kind of struggled with sharing it because I undoubtedly fear this being labeled a post supporting the tacky 1980′s. But honestly, if you infuse neon in small doses without overwhelming the color scheme, it can be fresh, modern and absolutely FUN. Here are a couple things I’ve come across to show you how chic using neon brights can be.
What do you think about neon for weddings?
