Circus Party {bunting}
partiesI came across the most gorgeous polka dot bunting today, perfect to go with a party themed around our new circus invitations.
Available through Giggleberry Designs on etsy. The great thing about fabric bunting is you can use it for the party, then hang it in your child’s bedroom, playroom etc, and then use it again for the next party!
They also do custom bunting, so if you were trying to achieve something more like what we’ve used in our photoshoot below, I’m sure they could oblige.

Alannah Rose {wedding} – Megan & Nigel
alannah rose weddings, weddingsI’m thrilled to be able to share with you some details of one of my clients recent weddings – Megan & Nigel.
Megan and Nigel’s wedding was planned in just 12 weeks! They wanted a relaxed, casual and intimate wedding where guests could enjoy themselves, and this is what they achieved.
“We didn’t have much time to ponder over choices, which made the planning process easier, I made most of my decisions off the cuff and don’t regret anything”. says Megan
Megan and Nigel were married on the 21st of March at the Mount Keira Lookout in Wollongong – the scenery is just breathtaking.
“One of my favourite parts of the day was when I arrived at the lookout for the ceremony. The view was amazing and the musician was playing an acoustic version of Stand by Me. Seeing Nigel and our son, Cooper, two, standing in front of all of our closest family and friends got me all choked up!”
They selected our Le Boutique Stationery Suite to compliment their ‘Black and white – classic with a modern touch’ theme and carried it through the wedding perfectly.
Nigels tie helped bring in the stripes to the gents attire without being over the top, and Megan and Nigel’s son Cooper looked gorgeous in a striped shirt.
Megan’s classic dress by Collette Dinnigan was stunning, as were the bridesmaids dresses in black, purchased from Cue. Classic ivory rose bouquets bound in black and white stitch grosgrain ribbon further complimented the theme.
The wedding cake was gorgeous with feature stripes and set off the Le Boutique place cards and reception stationery perfectly.
Asked her number one tip for brides, Megan says “I think planning a wedding can be as easy or as difficult as you choose to make it. So, why not make it easy on yourself!”

Alannah Rose {wedding} – Fiona & Mark – Chinese Tea Ceremony
alannah rose weddings, weddingsLast week I shared with you the gorgeous images from Fiona & Marks Love Light themed wedding.
The day after the main wedding celebrations Fiona & Mark celebrated with an intimate Chinese Tea Ceremony. Again Fiona coordinated the details beautifully. The guests were informed of the ceremony via one of our small registry cards with the event information which was included inside the main wedding invitation.
The Chinese Tea Ceremony was held at the Chinese Gardens of Friendship in Darling Harbour. Each guest received a fan with cherry blossom on it to help with the warm summer day. The ceremony followed with an oriental themed cocktail party for their guests.
For more gorgeous images please visit Fiona’s website at Couture Wedding Planning.
