We were delighted to see one of our Sweet Art couples, Pilar and Oliver have their wedding featured in the latest Real Weddings Style Magazine.

Pilar and Oliver chose our Alannah Rose Le Boutique wedding stationery collection in black and white. The wedding took on a Spanish flair- a nod to Pilar’s heritage and included fun touches like Spanish fans, Spanish style ruffles on Pilar’s gown and even a Spanish mantilla which Pilar had fallen in love with ten years earlier and saved for her special day.

The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and birds tweeting. Today seemed the perfect day to get inspired by our What A Lovely Day Wedding Invitation!

Envisage a garden party, high tea served from tiered stands with pretty china tea cups,  the fresh green grass under bare feet and  pretty spring dresses. A table of sweets all in white and pretty lace parasols shading guests from the warm sunlight. Bouquets of daisies and a mischievous rabbit poking out from behind a tree. A touch of whimsy always goes down a treat at a wedding!

A day in the sunshine, what a lovely day!

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.

Following our theme of the week – black and white, I’ve got another lovely real wedding to share today – the beautiful wedding of Vibica and Craig.

Vibica and Craig were married on Saturday 24th October, 2009 with their reception celebration held at The Beach House, Nielsen Park, Vaucluse, Sydney.

We worked with Sweet Art on Vibica and Craig’s wedding to create a beautiful black and white wedding stationery suite using our Butterfly Garden design. Sweet Art created a stunning black and white butterfly garden cake to tie in with the theme.

Congratulations Vibica and Craig, thank you for sharing your day with us!

Today I’m excited to launch a new regular feature I’ll be running on the blog – Colour me Happy.

Each week I’ll be running a colour of the week from our Colour Chart and showcasing an inspiration board and some of the invitations as to how they would work in that colour, so if there’s a colour you’ve got in mind or an invitation design from our range that you’d like to see in a certain colour – this is your opportunity to do so!

This weeks colour is Mushroom Pink. Mushroom is warm, soft and romantic. Stay tuned over the next few days to see what I come up with, and don’t forget to email me or post a comment here if you’d like to see one of the designs in this colour.

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).

Photography by Luisa at Serendipity Corner Photography “Luisa was an absolute pleasure to deal with and we have an amazing collection of photos from the day”.

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 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.
