Today’s post is a bit of a two in one find, the first is the web store Hard to Find – if you’re looking for something a bit different, then this is your place!
But what I’m really loving today are these pretty Eco Decoration Kits by Polli, which I found on their site.
The kit contains 30 yellow and white decorations with 6 meters of red twine, perfect for making a pretty party garland, or you could hang them individually.
I’ve got quite a line up of gorgeous client weddings to share with you this year, and I’m thrilled to start with the fabulous wedding of Sarah & Stephen.
Sarah & Stephen first came to me in September 2008 and we created their Save the Date cards in our Gorgeous Deco Lace Design.
We then worked on creating the wedding invitations and amazing stationery suite in the same theme for their wedding day last year. The results I’m sure you’ll agree we’re stunning, so many beautiful details pulled together under one common theme – Black & White Vintage.

We assisted Sarah with the printing and design of the order of service cards, Sarah then assembled them into these gorgeous fans for guests to use at the ceremony.
Above: Sarah planned her theme down to the tiniest details, the wedding stationery suite included bon bon tags, signage, seating cards, menus, table cards and more, all in our beautiful Deco Lace design.
You can read the full story of Sarah & Stephen’s wedding in the Current Issue (13) of Wedding Style Guide, but here’s a sneak peak of the magazine spread below.

We’ve been very busy in the studio of late working on some gorgeous new wedding invitation designs.
Here’s a sneak peak at our new nautical invitation design – love me knot – available now and landing in the website very soon!
Navy and white is a simple and elegant wedding theme and this nautical look works well with stripes and green and white for a fresh summer look.

I’ve got another beautiful client wedding to share with you today.
Simone and Curtis celebrated their wedding on the 15th August last year – and they were blessed with gorgeous Sydney weather.
Simone and Curtis’s wedding theme was inspired by the beautiful blue stripes in our Chocolate Box Wedding Stationery.
“I fell in love with the invitation design which I thought was both feminine & masculine. It became the starting point for our colour scheme. The location of our reception was surrounded by water (Sydney Harbour & North Sydney Pool) so I thought the blue of the invites would tie in so well”. says Simone

Married at St Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Lavender Bay and followed by a reception at Aqua Dining, Milsons point – Sydney Harbour was at it’s best and the reflection of the water in North Sydney pool made for an amazing backdrop. Photography by Craven Images.
“My favourite part of the day was arriving at the church and seeing the two beautiful boys in my life in their kilts (my husband to be and our baby son Luca)” says Simone.
Above: Chocolate Box Menu Covers by Alannah Rose set the scene for a blue and white colour palette with a hint of chocolate. The stunning cake inspired by our invitations was created by Faye Cahill.
A beautiful setting and a cheery colour palette was the perfect recipe for a day filled with love and joy. We asked Simone her number one tip for brides:
“Relax and enjoy the whole day – tomorrow comes too soon”.
Congratulations Simone and Curtis

One of the best things about my job is that I can design things that I love. One of my favorite designs at the moment is Love Light – it’s such a simple and classic design – modern, romantic and glamorous – all rolled into one. So I was particularly thrilled to see the images of Fiona and Mark’s Love Light themed wedding in the current issue of Style Guide. Fiona, owner of wedding planning business Couture Wedding Planning wanted to create a classic Hollywood glamour theme for her wedding, the results below show she achieved just that.
Fiona and Mark were married at St Thomas in North Sydney followed by a cocktail cruise around the harbour and reception on the top floor of Star City in the Astral Restaurant.
Above: A classic black and white theme featured in the wedding, from the bridesmaids and groomsmens attire through to the black sash on Fiona’s Mark Holt gown. Flowers by Maria Lush. Grooms suit by Matthew Lawrence Bespoke.
Above: Reception tables were set with black candelabra, mirrored vases and crystals to complement the chandelier motif on the Alannah Rose Love Light wedding menus and place cards. A stunning cake by Faye Cahill was created to co-ordinate with the Alannah Rose Love Light wedding invitations and stationery.

Today I’m excited to share with you the gorgeous wedding of Deonne & Jefri, photographed by the fabulous team at SugarLove Weddings.
Deonne and Jefri were married on the 14th March 2009 at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Melbourne, followed by a sit down reception in The Langham’s Alto Room.
Their colour scheme of black and white was based around their wedding invitations and stationery – our gorgeous Le Boutique collection.
“I chose the theme because the invites we chose were black and white and reminded me of a classic French perfume bottle” says Deonne
Deonne’s gown by Annette of Melbourne Couture was made of silk chiffon and encrusted with Swarovski crystals, offset by an elegant silver cuff by Stephanie Brown. Deonne’s posy by Whitemoss florists consisted of gorgeous David Austen roses, green rose buds and black ivy berries.
The bridal party arrrived in convertible black mustangs from MIB – Mustangs in Black, with the bridesmaids dressed in elegant black dresses by Nicolangela.
“I chose black bridesmaid dresses as the colour went with my theme and was really flattering on both girls” says Deonne.
The bridesmaids posy’s also by Whitemoss were made up of bright green molluca balm, a striking contrast to the black dresses.
The stunning decor of Melbourne’s Langham hotel set the backdrop, whilst classic black and white touches, including our Le Boutique place cards were offset by green molluca balm in black pots, styled by Deonne and her sister to finish off the theme.
The bridal party headed to the city and to the gorgeous block arcade for more photography with Sugarlove Weddings.
The men’s attire, inspired by the Beatles, one of the couples favourite bands, from Jack London.
More details on Deonne & Jefri’s wedding can be found in the current issue of Bride to Be magazine.

Congratulations Deonne & Jefri xx
