Colour Me Happy – {mushroom} Pink
weddingsToday 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.

Sunday Find ~ The {cupcake} Family
parties, sunday findsWhen I was in Sydney last year I was delighted to discover the lovely cupcake specialty stores that are everywhere, Melbourne alas doesn’t seem to have taken on the trend yet, and there still aren’t too many around. For those in search of cupcakes in the city, I’ve discovered The Cupcake Family.
Located in the QV Centre The Cupcake Family is a sweet little store that sells nothing but cupcakes and macaroons. The girls and I always love a little stop in there – our favourites are the cupcake mini’s – a perfect size for children – they taste delicious and they manage to eat both the icing AND the cake, always a bonus!
I noticed they do events, perfect for parties if you don’t have time to make your own cupcakes.

Sunday Find ~ New {venue} ~ The Tearoom Dunbar House
sunday findsI’ve long been a fan of the gorgeous Tearoom venues in Sydney, so I was excited to learn this week that they’ve acquired another venue – Dunbar House.
A total restoration of the building commences in late June 2010 which will see the building being refurbished both inside and out. It will be revitalised from its current state to pay homage to the 1830’s.
Located on the shores of Sydney Harbour, in the expansive grounds of Robertson Park, Watsons Bay, The Tea Room Dunbar House will provide a truly spectacular setting.
Great news for those getting married next year – The Tea Room Dunbar House is scheduled to open early 2011 – I can’t wait to see the gorgeous transformation.
{elegant} Emerald
inspiration boards, weddingsI love the bold shades of aqua and emerald in our Emerald Gem invitation. Today’s board centers around that boldness- clean, crisp lines, bold shapes with a very urban feel. Little treats like blue glass jars tied with ribbons and filled with candles add an unexpected softness.

A little fairy Princess {emily’s fairy party}
alannah rose parties, parties, the restMy lovely friend Kerrin hosted this pretty fairy party for her daughter’s 4th Birthday using our Little Fairy Princess Party Invitations and Lolly Bag Tags.
I love the addition of green to the pink and white colour palette, so pretty and perfect for a sunny spring day. The children were entertained by Fairy Rainbow Sparkle and feasted on fairy fare.
Congrats Kerrin on such a beautiful party!
Alannah Rose {wedding} ~ Kelly & Nico ~ Vintage Black and White
alannah rose weddings, weddingsAnother 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

Sunday Find ~ The {perfect} Mascara
life, sunday findsI’m pretty excited about today’s find – I’ve long be searching for a perfect mascara, I’ve tried quite a few different ones, they clump, they flake, all of these things that you don’t want to happen on a daily basis, let alone on your wedding day!
Sooo, finally I think I’ve found the perfect one! Kevin Aucoin’s Curling Mascara. (also available is a volumizing one). I purchased it this week from Mecca Cosmetica, and I love it! It glides on, no clumping and it doesn’t budge – I work long hours and have two small children, I rub my eyes a bit… you get what I mean. I highly recommend trying it out.
You can find Kevyn Aucoin Mascara in Australia at Mecca Cosmetica.
