Pretty in {paris}

When we asked our Facebook “likers” which of our invitations they liked best recently, our friend and stockist of Alannah Rose, Kathryn of Pink Frosting said “Paris” was definitely her favourite.

We love our Paris party invitation, it conjures up so many beautiful parties – today? a French inspired afternoon tea party. Wire replicas of the Eiffel tower gracing the tables, sweet raspberry macaroons, blooming peonies and of course- the finest of tea leaves drunk from our favourite tea pot!

Cupcake Celebrate – Cupcake Party Inspiration

alannah rose new designs, baby, inspiration boards, parties

I love cupcakes. My kids love cupcakes, in fact everyone I know loves cupcakes, so cupcakes were a perfect choice for a design to include in our new party invitation range.

There are so many beautiful things you can do with this theme. Set up a baking table and let kids ice their own cupcakes to take home in little boxes, make up a felt cupcake and play ‘pin the candle’ on the cupcake. Decorate in theme with the invitation using pink, white, chocolate and a dash of red. Use cherries, cupcakes, flowers and all things pink and sweet for a Cupcake party to remember.

See the below inspiration boards for more ideas

Spooky {party}

alannah rose new designs, inspiration boards, parties

Little boys love scary things, things like spiders, slugs, snails… eek!

That’s why they’ll love our new Spooky Spider Party invitations.

Creating a spooky spider party theme is easy – use red, black and brown as your colour palette, and think of things that are icky! Red snakes, chocolate frogs, green slime (jelly), decorate with cobwebs (sourced from costume shops), red and black balloons or lanterns (like the one’s pictured below), hang fake spiders from the ceiling using fishing line, the list goes on!

On My {pinboard}

inspiration boards, life

I finally got around to finishing my pinboard project last week, I’ve had a canvas and fabric sitting around for months!

The board itself was easy to make, just a plain canvas (in my instance it was one I painted a while ago and did a terrible job of!) a piece of fabric stretched over the top and tacked at the back, some ribbons, pins and pegs.

The contents are what’s inspiring me at the moment, and bits and pieces that I’ve received that I like.

The theme at the moment seems to be black and white, vintage and pretty birds!

Pin boards are a great idea for on the go projects, if you’re getting married why not dedicate one to your wedding details, you can add or take things off as you go along, ditto for planning a kids birthday party. I like being able to see things at a glance, rather than sifting through piles of paperwork!

Here we are, we’re back, and happy new year!

I thought I’d start the year off with a series of mini inspiration boards using some of the work we’ve been doing for clients with our custom colour options.

First off is a gorgeous version of our Mod Garden wedding invitation that we’ve done for Emma + Paul – customised with a hint of red and a double happiness symbol (which is the chinese symbol for marriage, a good luck symbol for newlyweds). Best wishes and double happiness to you both xx

Peacocks On {parade}

alannah rose new designs, inspiration boards, weddings

I love peacocks, they are such a magnificent bird. The colours, the patterns, the shapes and the grace – mother nature is truly a talented designer!

This Peacock Parade wedding invitation will be available soon in the Alannah Rose boutique with our new Spring/Summer collection, but thought I’d share a sneak peak of it here.

There are so many fabulous ways you can theme peacocks into your wedding day, you can go completely over the top, or just introduce subtle hints through accessories and details. Below are a few items that I’ve found that could work beautifully with our Peacock Parade theme.
