The Alannah Rose Chocolate Box wedding invitation holds a special place in my heart- it was one of our first designs and I believe it stands the test of time! It brings together the elegant stripes, a flair of vintage lace and one of my favourite colour combinations- brown and blue. Today’s board is the elegant classic take on this style- classic chocolate cakes (but with a twist of cocoa monograms), a classic ballgown (with sweet butterflies attached) a classic bouquet (with beautiful blue ribbon) and a classic pearl necklace (with a sparkling clasp).

Our black and white Le Boutique wedding invitation is still one of my favourite designs. Something about the bold black and white stripes almost turns into a neutral, elegant accent at a wedding.

This wedding inspiration board plays off the stripes, instead of hiding them and is filled with stripey accents, from the groom’s tie to the ribbon around the bouquet and modern shapes (like the black Louis Ghost chair). Sometimes I like to play up the detail!

Firstly, apologies for my posts being a little sporadic at present – I promise there are good things on the way. Let’s just say we’re in the midst of renovating so to speak. Exciting!

Today’s post is a gorgeous client wedding, it’s not hard to guess which wedding stationery Amanda and Daniel chose – just look at those gorgeous black and white striped walls! (hint: le boutique!)

Amanda and Daniel were married at the gorgeous Bellachara Boutique Hotel in Gerringong NSW on the 19th February this year. The theme of the wedding was classic and glamorous. A basic black and white colour palette was used with splashes of pastel pinks/nudes & creams in the flowers & bridesmaids dresses.

A favourite part of the day for Amanda was getting ready with her bridesmaids and parents, the striped walls of the venue made a perfect backdrop for the getting ready photos and tied in with the black and white wedding invitations by Alannah Rose.

“The Le Boutique stationery range was perfect for our wedding, our venue has black & white striped feature walls and they matched the invitations perfectly. Suzi was so lovely to deal with and took a genuine interest in our wedding planning!” says Amanda
Amanda was thrilled with her make up by Christina Cleary“I literally gasped when I saw the makeup on the day, it was flawless”.
The beautiful rose bouquets were created by close friend Rochelle at Wedding Flowers1

For Daniel, seeing Amanda walk down the aisle was one of the highlights of the day.
The cake, by long time friend Cassie at Cakes by Cassie was a stunning three tier round cake with two tiers White Chocolate & Raspberry (Amanda’s favourite) and one tier Chocolate Mud (Dan’s favourite).

On making your wedding day perfect Amanda advises: “Be organized as it makes everything run so smoothly & don’t stress. Sit back and enjoy the whole process, from planning it all to relaxing on the morning of the wedding as it’s all part of the memories you will have of the day. Everyone kept saying to me on the day “I can’t believe you are so calm” but it really set the mood for the whole wedding, everyone was relaxed and having fun and not one thing went wrong – not that I noticed anyway!”

Congratulations Amanda and Daniel, thanks so much for sharing your day with us. xx

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

“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
