Tea {party} for Three

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

This morning the girls and I had a little tea party for three in honor of Ava. We baked cupcakes, made fairy bread and then we sat down and enjoyed our creations. We pulled out my Nan’s crystal and china, picked flowers from the garden and toasted with a babycino. A beauty full morning with my beautiful girls.

Wedding Inspiration { vintage soft grey }

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I’ve been sifting through my files this week and found this inspiration board I created as a guest piece for Style Collective a while ago. I still love it, grey is so soft, pretty and warm, brighten it with a touch of yellow and you’ve got a sophisticated and elegant colour palette for your wedding day.

Sunday find ~ green wedding shoes, a photographer and a stylist

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

A confession today. I’ve only just recently figured out how to use google reader. I know. Shocking.

So up until now browsing and keeping up with all the beautiful blogs out there has been a bit of a time consuming process for me, and one to be honest, I haven’t had a lot of time to do. But, now, well it’s so much easier and I’m loving all the fabulous new blogs I can now find and read easily, every day.

This weeks find is Green Wedding Shoes, a gorgeous wedding blog featuring all things wedding. I can’t stop looking at this Circus engagement shoot they’ve featured this week shot by Brandon Kid (who also has a new blog) and styled by Nancy Park of So Happi Together.

How amazing is the typography of the circus props, the colours, the mood, the styling, everything, and what a fabulous way to celebrate and remember your engagement.

Ruffley Goodness

Monday, August 16th, 2010

I’ve only recently discovered Urban Outfitters ship to Australia, and for an ever so cheap price – where have I been? Under a rock? Possibly.
I’m really loving the Waterfall Ruffle series – take a look at this shower curtain….

Shower curtain I hear you say? Well I don’t have any uses for shower curtains, but take a closer look – it could make a gorgeous table skirt for a party – or a backdrop for a photobooth or dessert table, and it comes in lots of beautiful colours. Think outside the square and you’ll find inspiration everywhere.

A little request {please}

Friday, August 13th, 2010

We have some exciting things happening at Alannah Rose in the next couple of weeks. All I’m saying right now is New.

Sooo, I need to update a few things, dot my i’s cross my t’s, and google is not playing nice (or the fact that my technical issues this week have extended to everything), so here is my request.

I know so many of you have linked to me, posted my parties over the last five years, for that I thank you so much. I always try to say thank you for those I know of, and add you to my blogroll.
If you have me in your blog roll – and I have not (and I”m so sorry I haven’t!) added you into mine yet, can you please comment below or email me?

Likewise, if you have featured one of our parties and I haven’t spoken or emailed you this week, could you please do the same with a link to the party? A lot of you I know of, but I just want to make sure I haven’t missed anyone. I’ll be making some requests for ‘as featured on banners’ from you!

thanks so much everyone – and always for your support of our business, it means so much! x
{thank you!}

Sunday Find ~ or A delightful way to spend a Sunday

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Today I spent a lovely afternoon with the gorgeous Siobhan and Vanessa from Details Details and Prue from Gigi & Lulu at Nest in Albert Park. A perfect way to get together to celebrate and remember Ava.

Nest is a fabulous little hotel, decked out in black and white, with black chandeliers and white bird cages. On Sunday’s they offer a Vintage High Tea – and it’s delightful. The chicken sandwiches and chocolate cake were my favourites, but it was all delicious.

They have a great space perfect for any type of function, including weddings, baby showers and hen’s days. Now just to figure out what function I can have there just to use the space….

And don’t forget, if you’re planning on hosting a Tea Party, you’ll need invitations… head over to the Beauty-Full Collection for the month of August. All invitations in the range have been designed in memory of Ava and are available for $10.00. 100% of the cost going to charity.
