I am not a high fashion person. I’m not even a vaguely fashionable person. But damn, these hats by Philip Treacy are more like art. I don’t think I have the bone structure to pull one off even if I could afford it, but they are lovely to look at and thought I’d share! These [...]

I love the idea of using images instead of table numbers. Doesn’t this look so fab? So instead of saying “I’m on table 4,” you can say “I’m on the T-REX table”, or LLAMA TABLE, or TEAPOT TABLE, which is significantly more awesome.
The rest of the wedding photos are absolutely worth a look too, even [...]

I’m so over wedding inspiration blogs. Being a blogger and a geek and already having masses of design inspiration pouring into my RSS reader every day, when I first got engaged I added pretty much every wedding blog I could find. And every day I had heaps of beautiful images of real weddings, ‘photo shoot [...]

Really loving the look of this yellow and grey wedding, especially their tables. Having non-white table linens adds so much personality! I don’t think this combo of grey tablecloths and yellow napkins will work for my ‘heritage’ coloured venue though, and hiring it all is an extra cost I really don’t need. I could probably [...]

Speaking of photobooth backdrops, there’s some super cool ideas here that could look awesome on it. I already mentioned liking the look of book pages pasted onto a wall which is described here; I’m also really liking the idea of sticking fabric to the wall with a cornstarch paste mixture which lets you easily remove [...]

Chatting with my bridal crew has gotten me thinking about bridesmaid dresses. My four lovely bridesmaids all live in Perth while I’m over here in Canberra, so going big group shopping trips until we come up with something that everyone is happy with unfortunately isn’t an option. Luckily I’ve come up with an awesome idea [...]

I’m really feeling kraft paper at the moment. There’s something wonderfully earthy about it; the interesting texture makes simple, single colour designs look awesome; and in many cases it’s made of recycled material. Also, and importantly, it’s way cheaper than your average fancy shiny weddingy paper. I took a look around Etsy for some cool [...]

Loving some of the ideas for decorating using old books posted on Re-Nest recently. The branch using the pages as leaves above is gorgeous, and the one about creating 3D art and ‘vases’ out of books could make a pretty easy, unique and cheap centerpiece. I’d feel a bit bad cutting up books, but if [...]

A wedding video is something that I wasn’t really interested in – I know it’s supposed to be one of the things I’d ‘regret not having after!’, but we’re not really the type to sit down and watch home movies. I feel entirely justified in putting any budget that would have gone towards videography into [...]

Surely, somewhere in Perth city there must be a building that will let me use their rooftop for a ‘first look’ like this. Right?
I love first looks, I think it’s nice to have a private moment to see each other and feel prepared for making the next big step together. Practical too, in that you [...]
