Unique Bride Magazine | Your day, your way!

Posted on by

I discovered this new bridal magazine over the weekend…Unique Bride Magazine | Your day, your way!.  and LOVE its alternative style. Twitter @uniquebridemag

The first cover is all about Steam Punk – which is totally ahead of the curve in wedding style – so a brave first choice.  Steam Punk is one of my latest obsessions (Jules Verne meets Victoriana meets modern) and my publishers are just going to press with a new book on the subject STEAM PUNK GAZETTE

Meanwhile ..  have a read of this magazine if you want your day to be something a little different …

If you adore BIG BALLOONS as much as we do – then hopefully you will be pleased to hear that we are now offering a BESPOKE COLOUR service – so you can match your wedding.  We cant dye the balloons to match, but what we are offering is over 40 colours to choose from, which can be ordered to co-ordinate with your celebration.

All you then need is a lot of puff!  (or 30 balloons worth of helium!)

Very excited at the moment by our new collection of Big Balloons being launched next week – and have been inspired by these event photographs from Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine… so thought we would share

We are delighted to let you know that our super fun new GIANT BALLOONS are hitting Pearl and Earl next week – and whilst seeking inspirational uses for them to share with you, we discovered this fabulous blog post by Brooklyn Bride – Modern Wedding Blog about neon colours and weddings.

It could not be more up my street and we love the super bright simplicity… oh and the giant white balloon of course!

Our Nostalgic Events collection has exceeded all our expectations – and it is great to know that our customers too love our old school party style.

New in are these lovely GLASSINE FAVOUR BAGS which are £4 for 20 and their crisp semi opaque look is something I have always loved.  Available in white – they were tricky to source, but we are pleased with the results and think they make perfect wedding favour bags filled with a hint of what is inside..  lovely

 We have been overwhelmed by the demand for our new Nostalgic Decorations..  we thought you would like them, but had not planned on how just how successful they would be.
We are thrilled to let you know that another container arrived yesterday, but they are selling out fast.  Our favourites?  The Giant 19inch heart and the tea stained edges of our new Vintage Ivory Colourway. 
We are photographing some of the new items and will share them as soon as we can… but for now it is all hands on deck, shipping and packing!

Things to do with Streamers

ribbon and flower gift wrap

I LOVE paper streamers..  when I was a child we used to twist them and drape them everywhere at Christmas – and the reels just seemed to go on FOREVER…
So when we launched NOSTALGIC EVENTS I set about sourcing these in our colour palette to festoon onto every occassion…
Last week they arrived and yesterday I played and played with the colourful array..  and this is what I came up with!
I am in the midst of writing lots of DIY Party tutorials .. and so full instructions will follow…
Each colour comes in a 25m reel and at less than £3 each you get an awful lot for your buck .. and plenty of paper to play with!  Cheaper than ribbon, bunting and paper chains for sure!

Nostalgic Events Launch

Well it is no surprise that “We Love a Good Do” here at Pearl and Earl.. so it was only a matter of time before we launched our own collection of things to host the most chic celebration!
Most of the celebrations in our lives have had a DIY spin on it – from the home designed wedding invitations and stationery and every kids party in between…  my approach has usually been based around a “theme” which we inevitably go to town on in our own mad cap nostalgic style!  From our pumpkin bread rolls at Halloween to the DIY paper bunting for the Royal Wedding…
Inspired by Amy Atlas the Dessert Bar Queen from NYC (see top pic).. we thought maybe there were more of you out there who loved and craved these nostalgic accessories for your event/wedding/party and wanted something “a little different”
Hey presto.. we designed, we sourced and now the first phase is here!
Starting with a collection of NOSTALGIC DECORATIONS including a plethora of honeycomb PAPER BALLS, PAPER BELLS, PAPER HEARTS, GARLANDS and STREAMERS these are exclusively designed and made by us… including our new PAPER STRAWS..
We stock 11 colours and 12 shapes and sizes – but can do bespoke designs in up to 26 pantone matched colours for wholesale, trade and catering clients…  but for now they are simply delighting us here at Pearl and Earl HQ ready for the Wedding Season and dare we say it Christmas!

Royal Tea Party

 Golly gosh is it really a week since the Royal Wedding?  We had 2 wonderful long weekends, celebrating Easter and the Royal Wedding simply enjoying the sunshine with family and friends.
We were up super early with 6 very excited children.. desperate to see the “princess marry her handsome prince”…
So to while away the morning we baked cakes and made home made flags and bunting to string across the garden (once we knew the rain was going to hold off)
With a mini hog roast, and red white and blue cocktails… the day was one for all to remember.
We hope you celebrated your own Royal day in style!
