A Garden Party Wedding Delight

Spring signals wedding season in Sydney and I have to admit I have been a bit carried away with the magic of weddings recently. My sister is getting married on Saturday and lots of our friends are about to get married in the coming months.

To top it off it's hubby's and my first wedding anniversary very soon - eek, I can't believe its almost been one year since we were married!!

So when I stumbled across this delightful garden party themed wedding I had to share it...Enjoy!

I love the vintage photography and the styling touches like the croquet scene, tea cups and floral arrangements; all of which made made this a truly unique wedding.

I do hope you have had a wonderful week so far :)

Wedding Photography: People with their Pooches!

I love the idea of having your pet pooch being part of your special day; hubby and I would have been all for having Charlie at our wedding, but they didn't allow dogs! So when I came across these lucky couples that were able to have their little fury friends play a role in their wedding, I was thoroughly impressed.

These gorgeous shots definitely brightened up my day; I hope they do the same for you!

Oh So Lovely {Vintage Wedding}

I saw this simply stunning vintage style wedding over at Green Wedding Shoes and had to share it with you!

Catie & Ben achieved everything on a small budget, which makes this wedding even more amazing as the level of detail in the styling is perfection!

I love the idea of having a photo booth to capture memories from the day; such fun way to entertain guests.

To make savings the bride enlisted the help of friends and family to make these delicious-looking sweet treats:

Party Inspiration: Ice Cream Parlour Buffet Theme

I found out some wonderful news today - my little sister got engaged, plus she has asked me to be her Maid of Honour! How thrilling!

My mind excitedly skipped ahead for how I would theme her kitchen tea and other pre-wedding celebrations, so it was perfect timing really when I discovered the blog Eat Drink Chic which has lots of DIY party inspiration ideas and tips.

All of the ideas are fantastic, but I was especially blown away by the level of detail designer Amy Moss has put into creating the Ice Cream Parlour theme; it is utterly gorgeous and would be perfect for a wedding, birthday party or kitchen tea. And the good bit? Amy has made it super simple to re-create this theme at home by describing step by step how she went about creating this look and has the labels and signage for you to print out.  Love it!

Wedding Inspiration: Candy Bars

The great thing about not being the first of your friends to get married is that they can tell you brilliant ideas for your own wedding that you never would otherwise have considered. So thank you Riss, for letting me know about the fabulous idea of a wedding candy bar.

Now as our wedding edges closer, apart from actually getting married the candy bar is one element of our wedding I am most excited about seeing come to fruition.

We hope it will inject some fun into the day and that people spoil themselves with lots of yummy sweets! To get inspiration for our perfect candy bar look, I have been looking at lots of different styles and thought I would share my favourites with you. I will post pics after the wedding but in the meantime, enjoy these!
