I've never been the type of girl to get giddy at the fairytale fantasies of getting married or planning a wedding. Don't get me wrong, wedding's have always been one of my most favourite affairs to attend; the idea of two people pledging commitment, trust and loyalty solely to each other for an eternity is something I find incredibly impressive. Not to mention that the event usually means great eats, cake and a good knees up! { Did I mention cake?? }.

But lately I've found myself drawn to the ever increasingly creative wedding tablescapes and place settings being produced by reliable design bastion <a href="http://www.bhldn.com/">BHLDN</a>. Colours, textures and evocative points of visual interest abound - all the while looking elegant with a touch of twee.

I had a very difficult time choosing a favourite - The Mad Hatter theme playing heavily to my undying love of all things Alice, Paper Moon to my passion for music and Oiseau..well Oiseau won out. It's blue, it's French and there are birds = J'aime beaucoup! My heart beats for it like it beats with excitement at the opening refrain of my favourite super-hero's theme music, after all i've always been the type of girl who loves super heroes and sci-fi over fairytale fantasies.
