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!”

Today’s client wedding is the gorgeous summer time celebration of Lexi and Will. Lexi and Will held their wedding outside Canberra in November last year and used the Alannah Rose Lime Tapestry wedding invitation suite to begin their day! Today’s wedding will be in two parts- there are so many lovely photos to show!

“I’d describe our wedding as Springtime Shabby Chic - we carried the colours of spring green, latte, ivory and soft pastels throughout the wedding, with eclectic and sweet touches.” says Lexi. The couple were married at ‘Grazing’, Gundaroo NSW “The ceremony was held in the gardens with the reception in the stone stable/garden marquee”

For her wedding day, Lexi wore a Demetrios dress purchased from Nouveau Riche,. She chose Alan Pinkus shoes as her “Something Blue”. “I loved seeing the smile on my soon to be husbands face as I walked down the aisle, and a moment we stole alone during our location photos, where we finally had a moment to stop and say “wow, we really did this.. we’re married!“”

“Take a deep breath, don’t let little things trouble you and have fun! The day will pass by so quickly, and weddings filled with smiles and laughter always make the most wonderful memories. Little things may not go 100% according to plan (like the weather!) but in the big picture, it doesn’t matter.”

Lexi and Will chose Dan O’Day to be their photographer- check back this afternoon, we’ll be sharing more of his photographs of Lexi and Will’s wedding day!

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.

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.

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.

Today’s real wedding is the elegant & sophisticated celebration of our beautiful clients Camilla and Mark who married on the 18th of October 2009 in Noosa, Queensland.

The relaxed outdoor feel of Camilla and Mark’s wedding fit right into the Noosa culture- the sun was shining and amidst all of our couple’s special touches, a momentous occasion was celebrated. What fun!

Camilla and Mark chose our Vintage Night invitation in custom latte- they also chose our complimentary stationery suite and used the delicate swirls and soft colours as the basis of their wedding theme! Camilla recounts “Not only did we have Alannah Rose Save The Dates, Invitations, Guest Info Cards, RSVP postcards, Place Cards, Table Names, Order of Service Books and Thank you cards but we incorporated the same colour and design throughout the whole wedding”

There are so many beautiful photos of today’s wedding I can’t fit them into one post!

Above: Our Vintage Night invitation in custom latte to compliment the elegant mood of their wedding. “The stationery had a big part in creating the theme and the style of the wedding.  We had the same colours and design through from the Save the Dates to the decor at the ceremony and reception and then the Thank You cards.” says Camilla  “The stationery helped create the finer details that made our wedding such a stand out.”

Camilla chose an elegant strapless ball gown from Mariana Hardwick while her bridesmaids wore gowns in shades of white from Ultra Suite.

“One of my favourite parts of the day was walking through the trees near the beach to a clearing where the ceremony was set up.  The area had been decorated beautifully with crystals and ribbons with roses hanging from the trees, the ground was a sea of white rose petals and the anticipation of seeing my husband-to-be was overwhelming.  It was surreal like a dream and although I was very emotional the scene before me took my breath away.  I cried the whole way down the aisle, my husband shed a few tears watching me and I’m pretty sure all the guests were crying too.  It was very heartfelt.” recalls Camilla.

Bella of Bella Designs & Imagery captured the special moments of the wedding day.

The colours of Camilla and Mark were echoed throughout the wedding with Camilla making a welcome board featuring their stationery design and even printing the wedding vows onto matching paper. The couple also ordered co-ordinating order of service books in our Hollywood Glamour design as an added touch.

To be continued…. more of Camilla and Mark’s beautiful Noosa wedding coming this afternoon xx

Our bold new Cartouche Rose wedding invitation is the perfect style for a vintage, regal inspired wedding.

Lots of lace to reflect the rich floral pattern on the invitation- echoed into even the smallest elements like the wedding cake and the almost Victorian feel of the wedding gown. This invitation style is no wallflower, so to avoid the look becoming too pretty, add in some bold elements like a beautiful pair of black shoes and accessories. Decorate your reception with rich black chandeliers and plenty of gold!

Last Sunday I attended the gorgeous gallery opening for Little Bird Photography. Pru held little high tea to celebrate her sweet new gallery. It was a lovely afternoon and I was very taken with the sweet vintage tea cups and tableware she hired from A Vintage Affair.

A Vintage Affair hire gorgeous tea sets, silver tea service, crockery and accessories, perfect for hen’s days, weddings, baby showers, photoshoots and even gallery openings! Take a look at their website here.

I’ve been sifting through my files this week and found this inspiration board I created as a guest piece for Style Collective a while ago. I still love it, grey is so soft, pretty and warm, brighten it with a touch of yellow and you’ve got a sophisticated and elegant colour palette for your wedding day.

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
