Here we are back with more photo’s from Lexi and Will’s wedding taken by their photographer Dan O’Day. “We had some breathtaking shots taken around the rural landscape of Gundaroo. The colours were amazingly vivid, with a late afternoon storm providing a gorgeous backdrop.”
Lexi and Will held their reception in the stone stable & marquee on the property and used Flowers from the Garden for their flowers. “Gerry was an absolute dream to work with – the peonies for my bouquet were sourced from Melbourne at the last minute, and the green and white bouquets for the girls were exactly what I wanted! She also did a fabulous job filling our crystal vases, jars and bottles which we used for our centrepieces.”

“Will and I wanted our day to be unique, personal and memorable – for both ourselves and the guests. Many hours were spent creating handmade pinwheels (for our non traditional take on a seating chart) paper poms and bunting to brighten the reception. We opted for a Wedding Tree instead of a guest book, so our friends and family could “leaf” their thumb print and sign their name!”

Welcome back to part two of Rebecca and Kale’s gorgeous Perth wedding! I just love how Rebecca has brought the Old Hollywood style to her look while still keeping it relaxed and beautiful!

Such sweet personal details x “We each gave our Mum a necklace on the morning of the wedding, and then as a surprise had our Mums as the witnesses on our marriage certificate. We also had a picture of our parents on their wedding days on either side of our wedding cake to recognise where we had come from and to thank our parents for all that they had done for us.”

“Our good friend Emma, who is a chef, made our wedding cake and Kale’s work mate Tracey created our wedding flowers. The cake and flowers were so beautiful, and we were so touched that our friends put so much effort in for our wedding. It was really special.” says Rebecca “I bought so many things on Etsy for the wedding, and loved having little packages arrive every week full of all sorts of different handmade things. Our cake topper was from busybeesathome, mine and the bridesmaids earrings were from BridalBeads and the name tags which sat on the wine glasses were from TimelessPaper. Just to name a few of our Etsy finds!”

Rebecca and Kale’s wedding day ends with some wise words “I think the most important thing is the marriage, and the wedding day should be a big celebration of that. If I ever felt overwhelmed by the wedding plans I would remember that, and think well as long as my fiance, the celebrant and our family and friends are there  it doesn’t really matter what else happens, because that is all that’s important.” Rebecca advises “So try and relax and enjoy the journey, because it really does go very fast.”

Congratulations Rebecca and Kale, thanks so much for sharing your day with us.

We love our creative clients at Alannah Rose Stationery and we’re always in awe of their beautiful weddings! Today’s client wedding is of Rebecca and Kale who married at the Matilda Bay Foreshore In Perth and used the Alannah Rose Chantilly Chandelier invitation in latte to start their wedding style.

“We wanted our wedding to be elegant, but not too formal, so we tried to bring in elements that would help create that atmosphere. The theme we went for was a hint of old Hollywood.” says Rebecca “I love stationery, so one of the first things we picked for the wedding was our invitations. We decided early on the Chantilly Chandelier Latte stationery by Alannah Rose. Once we had picked the latte colour everything else just came together. We found gorgeous bridesmaids dresses in that colour and then selected flowers, decor etc to compliment it.”

Rebecca and Kale had their wedding photographs taken by Anna Rose Photography.

“I loved my dress, which was from Pallas Couture. I have really individual taste, and couldn’t see myself in a traditional wedding dress. The girls at Pallas really listened to what I was after and created such a beautiful gown. I just loved it and felt so comfortable and glamorous in it on the day. My shoes were by Christian Louboutin, which I bought online from Net-a-porter..”

“My favourite part of the day was the wedding ceremony. My Dad had been really sick in hospital just 6 weeks earlier, I remember standing there with Kale and looking out at our family and friends and feeling so blessed that they could all be there to share the moment.”

Check back later today for the rest of Rebecca and Kale’s gorgeous wedding!

Another beautiful black and white themed wedding for you today, also using our gorgeous Hollywood Nights vintage wedding invitations.

Kelly and Nico were married in Noosa on Friday 24th April 2009. Having lived in Switzerland for the last few years, Kelly wanted to travel home to be married. The elegant setting of The Plantation in Cooroy, Queensland was chosen to celebrate their nuptials. Kelly’s father had been restoring a vintage car and the 1924 Delage became the inspiration behind the sophisticated vintage theme of their wedding day.

Kelly’s stunning gown by internationally revered hollywood designer Jenny Packham, was embellished with intricate beading and was accessorised with a soft floral bouquet by Liz at A Sculpted Leaf.

“My father and his friend had spent five years restoring this beautiful automobile so being driven to the ceremony in it was a special part of my day,” says Kelly.

The Catholic ceremony took place in a very private area close to Noosa Beach. The ceremony was witnessed by 50 of their closest family and friends from both Europe and Australia.
“We decided on Noosa for our wedding destination, not only because we love the area, but we also thought it was the most amazing location to really ‘show off’ Australia to our overseas family and friends.” says Kelly

The beautiful gardens of The Plantation, set the scene for the exquisite reception. Long reception tables were decorated with vintage style roses in soft pinks and a soft romantic setting was achieved with the help of a beautiful marquee. The beautiful wedding cake was created by Cake Conversations.

The beaches of Noosa provided the backdrop for their wedding photography by Jodi Mc Donald.

Twelve months on, Kelly & Nico now have a beautiful baby girl. Congratulations Kelly & Nico and thanks so much for sharing your day with us! x

Today’s beautiful wedding is that of Danielle & David – I love these pictures, the day is full of so much happiness and love, the essence of what weddings are all about.

Danielle and David were married on March 14 at Quaff in Toorak Village.
Their wedding theme was black & white with a touch of pink. Our Butterfly Garden wedding invitations and stationery suited this perfectly and tied in well with Danielle’s butterfly brooch – a gift from her late grandmother – which became a special symbol of the day.

“My Grandmother was so excited her eldest grandchild was getting married, however she was sick with cancer and when I gave her the invite, she asked me to describe my dress. When I mentioned about the brooch, she said that would be my gift for the wedding from her. Unfortunately she passed away a couple of weeks later. So, the celebrant made special mention of that also being a symbol of my wedding, the butterfly and the brooch. And so I had my bonbonierre which was a bottle stopper in the shape of a butterfly and my bubbles had a butterfly on them also.” says Danielle

Danielle’s dress by L’Amour Bridal Boutique had an elegant black sash which her butterfly brooch sat on, and the black halter neck bridesmaids gowns were by Black Rose. The touch of pink was added to the stunning floral bouquets by Say it with Flowers.

The cake – a delicious array of white chocolate cupcakes iced in black and white by Cherrytree were a hit with guests and further complimented the black and white wedding theme.

“I loved the whole day. From getting ready with my bridesmaids at mums, going to the ceremony with Dad in the lovely Bentley, arriving at Quaff, and the anticipation of entering the room to see it filled with people we love and care about and of course seeing my husband to be. And all the speeches were lovely and my MC was a girlfriend’s husband who was absolutely fantastic and had everyone laughing and joining in. And the rest of the evening was just a lovely party with people chatting and dancing all through the night. I almost had to be dragged out to leave but our gift from one of the bridesmaids, a night at The Westin, was definitely worth leaving for and we had a lovely time there.” says Danielle

Congratulations Danielle and David on a truly gorgeous wedding day, thanks so much for sharing with us. xx

Today I’d like to share with you the beautiful wedding of Julianne and Mark.

I’m in awe at the beauty of these images, they are so romantic and happy, and the richness and warmth of the reception venue is just breathtaking.

Julianne and Mark were married on 31st December last year in the The Chapel of St. Mary and St. George at Guildford Grammar School in Western Australia. Their stunning rose themed reception followed in the The Oak Room at Sandalford Wines in Caversham.

Julianne chose our Rose Tapestry wedding invitations to tie in with the beautiful rose blooms she chose for the day.

I love chandeliers. My nan had them in her home and I remember being mesmerized by their beauty when I was a child. I’ve got a lovely Laura Ashley one in my entrance hall now, and of course our love light chandelier wedding invitation collection is one of my favourites.

So you can imagine my excitement when my gorgeous client Renee emailed through these pics of her wedding using the chandelier stationery we created for her. The venue! The chandeliers! The romance!
What a beautiful day. Details below xx

Renee and Nick were married at the stunning Verandahs, Terrara House Estate in NSW. They chose our stunning Love Light wedding invitations and stationery, which tied in beautifully with the setting of the venue and the theme of the day.

The weather for the day proved perfect for the outdoor ceremony, and the setting of Terrara Estate was breathtaking.

Renee chose two dresses, the first – a stunning gown by Mira Mandic (above) was worn for the ceremony.

The love light stationery by Alannah Rose carried through the theme at the reception and included place cards, seating chart and wine bottle labels. The wine was given to guests as a bonboniere gift.
“I loved my stationery as it really tied in with my theme for the wedding and brought everything together on the day”.says Renee
The beautiful reception was one of Renee’s favourite parts of the day; “…the pressure is off, it’s time to relax and enjoy what is happening around you and share your special day with your closest friends and family.”

Renee’s second gown for the reception was by Pallas(above)
“Use recommended , well known, trusted suppliers so you can relax on your day
and not have to worry whether things will go wrong. Have a theme and stick to
it and don’t try on too many wedding dresses as it becomes confusing and you
might end up choosing two like i did which wasn’t a cost efficient option!” says Renee of her tips for brides.

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: The wedding held in Adelaide, South Australia, was held on a country homestead in a lavish outdoor marquee.  Deco Lace wedding stationery by Alannah Rose. We assisted Sarah with the printing and design of the order of service cards, Sarah then assembled them into these gorgeous fans for guests to use at the ceremony.

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.
