I’m so excited today to share a beautiful wedding of some of our clients today! Sharmini and Lee chose our Le Boutique wedding stationery suite in black and white for their Perth wedding day. The bold black and white fit right into their colour scheme “Our theme was Old Hollywood Glamour. The colour scheme was predominately black and white, with touches of different shades of purple.”

Natasja from NK Photography was able to capture simply beautiful images of the wedding “Tasj photographed my brother’s wedding and did such a beautiful job we knew we just had to have her for our day. She is also so lovely and completely relaxing to be around.”

Sharmini walked down the aisle to a the sounds of String Quartet. “Seeing each other for the first time as I walked down the aisle. The string quartet were playing ‘Fields of Gold’, it was such an overwhelming moment, an emotional  culmination of joy and excitement.  Fortunately, we had 5 verses (!) of amazing grace in which to compose ourselves and settle the nerves and excitement before either one of us had to say anything.”

Below: The flowers at Christ Church Claremont where Sharmini and Lee married were stunning shades of white “All white.  We wanted it to look fresh, simple and elegant. Included 16 orchid garlands for the pews and the front door. Roses, lilies orchids and candles on the front table as guests arrived at the church.” All flowers were by Natural Art Flowers by Rebecca Grace.

Above: Sharminio’s bridesmaids wore elegant french navy gowns, one shouldered in silk georgette from Sana Boutique Claremont. “The colour looked amazing on all three girls and the style suited them perfectly. I wanted something soft and feminine but still striking. The French navy worked perfectly.” says Sharmini

I have much more of this sweet wedding for you later today so check back soon! x

This season we’re loving all things colourful and retro. I’ve always been a bit of traditionalist when it comes to colour (think black and white), so I’ve had a lot of fun with our new range coming to the store soon ~ The Retro Pop collection.

Retro Pop is all about boldness and colour. Think happy, fun celebrations with a modern twist. Change the colours of the designs from any on our colour chart or revert back to black and white – it does after all, never go out of style!

The new Retro Pop wedding invitation collection is coming to Alannah Rose very soon, for pre orders, please email us for details.

Couldn’t get enough of the Royal Nuptials last month? Neither could we, so couldn’t help getting in on the act again with our crown jewel invitation, this time in soft pink but with traditional, regal inspiration.

Nothing says lace has to be vintage or classic- I love the Alannah Rose Lovely Lace invitation because with it’s peachy pinks and browns it brings a touch of modern whimsy. A lace gown with a fun veil and sleek silhouette, gorgeous peachy pink shoes and a final touch of glamour with sparkles and martinis.

For a different spin on our popular Latte Lace wedding invitation, I thought I’d make it a little more fun by using a mish mash of favourite things- some pretty rosette shoes, a sparkly charm bracelet. This is a relaxed wedding- comfortable shoes, comfortable gowns and a lot of laid back, casual touches.

The soft, magic of cherry blossoms reminds me of a Japanese spring. This wedding style centred around our Very Cherry Blossom Wedding Invitation is all about pink. Use many different shades to create interest and pair it with the chocolate brown from our invitation so it doesn’t become too girly!

I love the idea of taking our Love Me tender wedding invitation in it’s rich berry red and creating a jewel toned wedding around it. Bridesmaids in rich blues, reds, greens and golds, stunning multi-coloured earrings and a bold and elegant gown.

To me, The Alannah Rose Sweet Shoppe wedding invitation has always been traditional with a touch of retro glamour- the stripes add a little something special. Classic elements like a beautiful silk tie or clean white bouquet can have stripey details. Add a buffet full of white treats and sweet pink bridesmaids gowns to make it doubly delicious.

Our Bicycle Built For Two wedding invitation always helps me imagine a wedding full of whimsical fun details- short gowns, trays and trays of sweet treats like fairy floss and pink lamingtons and little details like peppermint striped paper straws. Hop on a bicycle and ride away with your new husband with a bouquet and sunglasses and ride off into the sunset. Simply the sweetest way to spend a weekend.

Today’s wedding, centered around our Sweet Serenade Wedding Invitation is a classic one. Pearls, beautiful fluffy bouquets and the soft touches of pinks. Classic elegance never goes out of style with accents like silver candlesticks and simple, textured white cakes.

Aren’t these shoe clips from ban.do sweet? Sparkly fun for your feet, love it!

I love the colour combination of our Modern Retro wedding invitation design, even though we’ve made it in other colours, the original yellow and grey has such a freshness to it. For today’s wedding inspiration I dreamt of a wedding with sleek lines- a stylish bride in a no-fuss hollywood glamour gown, an unusual bouquet in a bright spot of yellow, sexy shoes and clean and modern decorations like this ghost chair.
