When your wedding stationery is what starts the day and where the wedding begins, having a shot of your invitations and key styling pieces can add to the memories of the day. Too often we hear from disappointed brides who have no memories of their wedding stationery because it wasn’t captured by their photographer on the day. Your stationery begins your story and ties the elements of your wedding together.
Make sure you have your full suite of stationery near your accessories on the day, so your photographer is able to grab your pieces and shoot them along side your bouquet or jewelery.
Let your photographer know if there are other special pieces in your suite you’d love to have captured at the reception and ceremony – from place cards, to your order of service, your seating chart and anything in between. These are wonderful for your own memories, but are also useful if a publication such as a blog or magazine wants to publish your wedding- details like this inspire other brides and pull together the full story and beauty of your wedding day.

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
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

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!
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!
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.
