Alannah Rose Exclusive Stationery Boutique

One of my favourite international stores net-a-porter has just launched it’s bridal boutique. Lots of beautiful things to drool over and they ship to Australia.

Love this gorgeous Lanvin Blanche bridal gown


And I know I’m not getting married, but these Chloé Capretto flats, well, I just want them.

There’s sections not only for brides, but mother of the bride, bridesmaids and wedding guests, stop in and have a look. Congrats Net-a-Porter, it’s gorgeous!

We’ve got a beautiful new wedding invitation design just uploaded to the Boutique - Autumn Soiree, as featured in the current issue of wedding style guide. I just love the style palette they’ve put to go with it.

Also featured in Wedding Style Guide issue 13 is our Butterfly garden wedding invitation design in Tiffany blue. Thanks so much to the team at style guide for featuring our work. xx

I have another beautiful wedding to share with you today. I love these images, they are so pretty and fresh.
Jenny and Dave were such a lovely couple to work with, along side Jenny’s mum who we also worked with in the preparation of the stationery.

The ceremony was held at the Shore School Chapel, North Sydney followed by a reception at Doltone House, Pyrmont.

The theme for the day was Elegant Jazz, which started with wedding invitations and stationery from our Deco Lace stationery range in custom ivory and charcoal.

“I loved my gown by Sarah Devine. Sarah was great to work with and I was thrilled to find a dress that suited my body shape and was very me.” says Jenny

The bridesmaids gowns from Scanlan and Theodore were chosen for both their colour and style. The gorgeous pink rose bouquets by Sweet Violets.

“My favourite part of the day was walking into the church and seeing Dave smiling back at me. Although, the whole day was amazing. I would LOVE to do it all again.” says Jenny

Elegant crystal vases held bunches of pink flowers, uplit by soft candle light, they created a romantic ambience. Table name cards by Alannah Rose were named after luxury brands.

The cake created by Faye Cahill to compliment the couples Alannah Rose wedding invitations and stationery suite.

Alannah Rose also produced wedding menu’s in the Deco Lace design. Each menu was personalised with the guest’s name to also act as a seating card.

“The stationery was absolutely incredible! Everyone commented on the stationery. It matched in so well with the colour scheme and the mood of the wedding. It was everything we wanted.” says Jenny

I’ve got quite a line up of gorgeous client weddings to share with you this year, and I’m thrilled to start with the fabulous wedding of Sarah & Stephen.

Sarah & Stephen first came to me in September 2008 and we created their Save the Date cards in our Gorgeous Deco Lace Design.

We then worked on creating the wedding invitations and amazing stationery suite in the same theme for their wedding day last year. The results I’m sure you’ll agree we’re stunning, so many beautiful details pulled together under one common theme - Black & White Vintage.

Above: Sarah planned her theme down to the tiniest details, the wedding stationery suite included bon bon tags, signage, seating cards, menus, table cards and more, all in our beautiful Deco Lace design.

You can read the full story of Sarah & Stephen’s wedding in the Current Issue (13) of Wedding Style Guide, but here’s a sneak peak of the magazine spread below.

We’ve been very busy in the studio of late working on some gorgeous new wedding invitation designs.
Here’s a sneak peak at our new nautical invitation design - love me knot - available now and landing in the website very soon!

Navy and white is a simple and elegant wedding theme and this nautical look works well with stripes and green and white for a fresh summer look.

Welcome back!
I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and welcome to our new readers that got engaged over the festive season. Enjoy the feeling of being newly engaged and glancing at your shiny new ring - I know I was always a little distracted in the car when the sun hit it… so take care on the roads too! xx

For some men, choosing a ring can be a daunting task, Mr Polka over at Polka Dot Bride has done a little post that may help your man in that department, and whilst you are there, have a glance around as Ms Polka knows a thing or two about planning a wedding!

If you’re super organised, you will already be thinking engagement party, so take a look at our Engagement Invitations, one of my favourites is the She Said Yes design, a bit of fun to announce your engagement.

Happy Planning and Happy New Year!

I’ve got another beautiful client wedding to share with you today.

Simone and Curtis celebrated their wedding on the 15th August last year - and they were blessed with gorgeous Sydney weather.

Simone and Curtis’s wedding theme was inspired by the beautiful blue stripes in our Chocolate Box Wedding Stationery.

“I fell in love with the invitation design which I thought was both feminine & masculine. It became the starting point for our colour scheme. The location of our reception was surrounded by water (Sydney Harbour & North Sydney Pool) so I thought the blue of the invites would tie in so well”. says Simone

Married at St Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Lavender Bay and followed by a reception at Aqua Dining, Milsons point - Sydney Harbour was at it’s best and the reflection of the water in North Sydney pool made for an amazing backdrop. Photography by Craven Images.

“My favourite part of the day was arriving at the church and seeing the two beautiful boys in my life in their kilts (my husband to be and our baby son Luca)” says Simone.

Above: Chocolate Box Menu Covers by Alannah Rose set the scene for a blue and white colour palette with a hint of chocolate. The stunning cake inspired by our invitations was created by Faye Cahill.

A beautiful setting and a cheery colour palette was the perfect recipe for a day filled with love and joy. We asked Simone her number one tip for brides:
“Relax and enjoy the whole day - tomorrow comes too soon”.

Congratulations Simone and Curtis

Last week I shared with you the gorgeous images from Fiona & Marks Love Light themed wedding.
The day after the main wedding celebrations Fiona & Mark celebrated with an intimate Chinese Tea Ceremony. Again Fiona co-ordinated the details beautifully. The guests were informed of the ceremony via one of our small registry cards with the event information which was included inside the main wedding invitation.

The Chinese Tea Ceremony was held at the Chinese Gardens of Friendship in Darling Harbour. Each guest received a fan with cherry blossom on it to help with the warm summer day. The ceremony followed with an oriental themed cocktail party for their guests.
For more gorgeous images please visit Fiona’s website at Couture Wedding Planning.
