Alannah Rose Exclusive Stationery Boutique

One of the best things about my job is that I can design things that I love. One of my favorite designs at the moment is Love Light - it’s such a simple and classic design - modern, romantic and glamorous - all rolled into one. So I was particularly thrilled to see the images of Fiona and Mark’s Love Light themed wedding in the current issue of Style Guide. Fiona, owner of wedding planning business Couture Wedding Planning wanted to create a classic Hollywood glamour theme for her wedding, the results below show she achieved just that.

Fiona and Mark were married at St Thomas in North Sydney followed by a cocktail cruise around the harbour and reception on the top floor of Star City in the Astral Restaurant.
Above: A classic black and white theme featured in the wedding, from the bridesmaids and groomsmens attire through to the black sash on Fiona’s Mark Holt gown. Flowers by Maria Lush. Grooms suit by Matthew Lawrence Bespoke.

Above: Reception tables were set with black candelabra, mirrored vases and crystals to complement the chandelier motif on the Alannah Rose Love Light wedding menus and place cards. A stunning cake by Faye Cahill was created to co-ordinate with the Alannah Rose Love Light wedding invitations and stationery.

Today I’m excited to share with you the gorgeous wedding of Deonne & Jefri, photographed by the fabulous team at SugarLove Weddings.

Deonne and Jefri were married on the 14th March 2009 at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Melbourne, followed by a sit down reception in The Langham’s Alto Room.

Their colour scheme of black and white was based around their wedding invitations and stationery - our gorgeous Le Boutique collection.

“I chose the theme because the invites we chose were black and white and reminded me of a classic French perfume bottle” says Deonne

Deonne’s gown by Annette of Melbourne Couture was made of silk chiffon and encrusted with Swarovski crystals, offset by an elegant silver cuff by Stephanie Brown. Deonne’s posy by Whitemoss florists consisted of gorgeous David Austen roses, green rose buds and black ivy berries.

The bridal party arrrived in convertible black mustangs from MIB - Mustangs in Black, with the bridesmaids dressed in elegant black dresses by Nicolangela.

“I chose black bridesmaid dresses as the colour went with my theme and was really flattering on both girls” says Deonne.

The bridesmaids posy’s also by Whitemoss were made up of bright green molluca balm, a striking contrast to the black dresses.

The stunning decor of Melbourne’s Langham hotel set the backdrop, whilst classic black and white touches, including our Le Boutique place cards were offset by green molluca balm in black pots, styled by Deonne and her sister to finish off the theme.

The bridal party headed to the city and to the gorgeous block arcade for more photography with Sugarlove Weddings.

The men’s attire, inspired by the Beatles, one of the couples favourite bands, from Jack London.

More details on Deonne & Jefri’s wedding can be found in the current issue of Bride to Be magazine.

I’m thrilled to be able to share with you some details of one of my clients recent weddings - Megan & Nigel.

Megan and Nigel’s wedding was planned in just 12 weeks! They wanted a relaxed, casual and intimate wedding where guests could enjoy themselves, and this is what they achieved.

“We didn’t have much time to ponder over choices, which made the planning process easier, I made most of my decisions off the cuff and don’t regret anything”. says Megan

Megan and Nigel were married on the 21st of March at the Mount Keira Lookout in Wollongong - the scenery is just breathtaking.

“One of my favourite parts of the day was when I arrived at the lookout for the ceremony. The view was amazing and the musician was playing an acoustic version of Stand by Me. Seeing Nigel and our son, Cooper, two, standing in front of all of our closest family and friends got me all choked up!”

They selected our Le Boutique Stationery Suite to compliment their ‘Black and white – classic with a modern touch’ theme and carried it through the wedding perfectly.

Nigels tie helped bring in the stripes to the gents attire without being over the top, and Megan and Nigel’s son Cooper looked gorgeous in a striped shirt.

Megan’s classic dress by Collette Dinnigan was stunning, as were the bridesmaids dresses in black, purchased from Cue. Classic ivory rose bouquets bound in black and white stitch grosgrain ribbon further complimented the theme.

The wedding cake was gorgeous with feature stripes and set off the Le Boutique place cards and reception stationery perfectly.

Asked her number one tip for brides, Megan says “I think planning a wedding can be as easy or as difficult as you choose to make it. So, why not make it easy on yourself!”

Black and white is one of my favourite wedding themes at the moment. This is an inspiration board I’ve put together on how you could tie this theme together. Stylish, simple and elegant, this stunning theme is timeless.
