As promised! More beautiful photos from Sharmini and Lee’s wedding! Such a beautiful reception too, I know you’ll adore these images! I can’t resist sharing their sweet proposal story with you today either!

“At home on our balcony. Thursday evening has always been our favourite night of the week and we often head out for dinner and drinks. Lee had made a late booking at our favourite restaurant and suggested we open a bottle of champagne at home first. We were due to fly back to Perth the next day for the Christmas break so I thought we were just starting the Christmas celebrations early. We took the bottle of champagne out on the balcony and Lee got down on one knee and surprised me with a gorgeous proposal and beautiful ring!”

Below: Sharmini and Lee held their reception in a marquee on the grounds of the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club who also catered the wedding. “Being a summer marquee wedding, I wanted everything to be light and fresh.. The swagging from the roof of the marquee and the low hanging chandelier over the bridal table created such a wonderful, intimate atmosphere. I really wanted it to feel like we were having an intimate dinner with our closet friends and family. Rebecca Grace did an amazing job on the flowers and used orchids, hydrangeas and roses all in a whites and shades of purple with some pinks thrown in. The room was so monochrome with the white swagging on the roof and the walls of the marquee and the white tiffany chairs that the little touches of colour really stood out.

We also had a gorgeous mirrored bar put it next to the dance floor which really set the room off and created lots of light. It was also great place for guests to mingle next to the dance floor.” Sharmini says

Above: Sharmini and Lee used Natural Art by Rebecca Grace to style the reception, which featured Alannah Rose Le Boutique Suite seating chart, menu cards, table numbers and candy buffet signs. The tables featured “Crystal vases on mirror on half the tables and Lantern & Mint Julips on the other half with orchids, hydrangeas and roses all in a whites and shades of purple with some pinks thrown in. . Once again with the room being so monochrome, we really wanted them to add small, bright bursts of colour which we achieved with the striking purples and pinks Bec mixed together.” says Sharmini

Thank you Sharmini and Lee for sharing your stunning wedding with us! x We are so thrilled that we were able to be part of your wedding day xx

For more of their beautiful wedding take a look at the current issue of Bride to Be Magazine.

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

We’re warming up the winter chills with the Wedding Style Guide Winter 2011 issue! Full of beautiful weddings and rich, winter colour schemes- we’re thrilled to see the Alannah Rose Sweet Serenade invitation in custom black and white featured in the “Typograpfica” style guide!

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.

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).

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!

Amy and Jeremy held their outdoor ceremony at Matilda Bay Reserve under the beautiful big trees. Amy even had the motif from our Hollywood Glamour invitation printed onto the couple’s aisle runner!

After the couple were pronounced as newlyweds, they celebrated with guests in a Villa Kula silk lined marquee organised and styled by one of our favourite wedding planners Cathrin D’Entremont. Amongst centerpieces of pink and cream flowers and an all white candy buffet, the reception featured favors of homemade marmalade in heart shaped jars, Amy and Jeremy used our Hollywood Glamour menu card and Hollywood Glamour seating chart to complete the look.

Thank you Amy and Jeremy for sharing your beautiful wedding day with us! We are so honoured to have been a part of such a beautiful day xx

I’ve been wanting to share the stunning Perth wedding of Amy and Jeremy for such a long time with you. Amy and Jeremy ordered our Hollywood Glamour wedding Invitation in custom silver, and I love how they used it throughout their wedding day- from the first invitation to the reception, the combination of the silver with the soft muted pinks and creams is so beautiful!

Amy wore a ruffly Oscar De La Renta ball gown from Helen Rodrigues with Wittner ruffle shoes. Rebecca Grace of Natural Art created the bouquets and floral arrangements in shades of dusty pink, creams and whites.

Amy and Jeremy had a “first look” before the ceremony so they could celebrate with their guests right after the ceremony. Love this idea x Amy and Jeremy used the incredibly talented Natasja Kremers for their wedding photography with Jen from Anna Rose Photography assisting.

Check back later today- we have more of Amy and Jeremy’s stunning Perth wedding!

Red & black- a bold, striking combination that is full of drama and passion. Play it up by embracing the red and black colour palette and using plenty of luscious red roses.
