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 [...]

Okay, so I’ve been assured that the guest list situation has been exaggerated, and am at peace with possibly having a slightly-on-the-largeish side wedding. Back to ideas. After watching ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ on DVD and at an amateur theatre last weekend with The Boy, I was inspired to consider a wedding that doesn’t fear [...]

I’m really loving the photobooth trend I’ve seen in wedding blogs, and was really considering hiring one for my own wedding. I don’t think I’ll be able to afford having a photographer there for the entire reception and I know some people can be camera shy, so it seemed like a good solution for getting [...]

I seem to be really noticing flowers that I generally associate with bright colours in white lately. It somehow makes them feel more elegant and dramatic than their more colourful counterparts or more traditionally white flowers. I think with these it’s the stark contrast between the white petals and black centers. I still have NO [...]

Living in one of the more small and isolated capital cities in Australia, you tend to not see very many local weddings featured in non-local magazines and blogs. So it’s always a nice surprise to see one, particularly ones done really well and that I feel like I can relate to! This wedding (+ part [...]

As mentioned earlier, The Boy and I travelled back to Perth and on to Margaret River this past weekend for our friends’ wedding. It was a bit of a trek for us from Canberra, but who can resist a trip down south with a bunch of great friends for a fabulous wedding? It’s interesting going [...]

Second shot at doing an inspiration board! Following on from my last colours post, I wanted to try something with a subtle greeny-blue with bright pops of yellow, for a (hopefully?) balanced and elegant but still fun look.

The Boy looks over my shoulder while I’m messing with colour schemes: The Boy: Hrmm, sage green. Do you like sage? The Girl: I like sage. Do you? The Boy: Hrmm… how about maroon? The Girl: Um… how about sunshine yellow? The Boy: How about navy blue? The Girl: How about turquoise? The Boy: How [...]

Has anyone looked at the hardcover Penguin Classics and thought the patterns would look gorgeous on invitations? I have! I think my favourite is the blue birds on the left.
