A new inspiration board to share today. We completed these custom colour wedding invitations, based on our Rose Kiss invitation design, for clients Kim & Hayden last year. I just love the combination of the avocado tones with the latte, so thought I’d put a little inspiration board together based on that colour theme. The result, rustic/vintage with a bit of glam!

We were busy little bees last year photographing our wedding invitation collection – I’m pleased to say we’ve finally added lots of the images to our wedding stationery gallery on the website, pop over and have a look here.

We’ve also been grouping lots of colours together in our Facebook albums, so if you’re looking for colour themes it’s a good place to look!

I’m thrilled to share a beautiful 1st Birthday party with you today! This party brings back so many memories of Ella’s Lady bird Party a couple of years ago, I love that our clients are inspired by our work! Today’s party was styled by clever Mum and Photographer Niki Sprekos, of Niki Sprekos Photography.

Niki put together this beautiful ladybird party full of fun and whimsical details to celebrate her daughter Georgie’s first birthday. Aside from all of the gorgeous details, the party was a hit with the kids, with colouring, games, a puppet show, face painting and ballooning and a ladybug hunt, all run by Fairy Flutterby, the party host for the day. There was no shortage of food and the children feasted on the delicious spread put together by Niki.

Using our Lovely Lady Bird Party invitations, and printables,  Niki styled Georgie’s party around this theme.

Congratulations Niki on creating and capturing a beautiful party!

Today I wanted to introduce you to A Sweet Affair.

A Sweet Affair is headed up by the very talented Jacqui and Mandy – both with a long history in events and client service.

I worked with Jacqui for 5 years before I began my journey into the wedding industry, and I can testify she is dedicated, hard working and one stylish girl!

A Sweet Affair specialises in candy buffet and dessert bars for corporate functions, weddings, product launches, Christmas parties, birthdays and christenings, and are based in Melbourne.

I particularly love this black and white table, but take a view at their gallery, there’s a lot more to feast your eyes on.

Today’s inspiration board is full of colour and fun. Take our box retro wedding invitations, add a large splash of orange and fuschia, style it up with some glam items and you’ve got a wedding combo that really pops!
