pom-tastic

If like me you have seen pictures of these little bundles of joy at weddings and events, but aren't sure how to go about getting them, then head to the PartyPoms shop at Etsy. Alternatively, you can make like Martha Stewart and get crafty and do them yourself (click here for her instructions). They are available in a rainbow of colours, clash them or co-ordinate them, hang them or sit them in cubic vases . However you choose to use them, they are guaranteed to brighten up any plain reception room decor in a jiffy.

mr & mrs {Kathryn & Andrew Jacobs}

Meet Kathryn and Andrew Jacobs. A handsome Aussie couple who moved from the UK recently to live and work in Singapore but decided to hold their wedding in their homeland, in Perth, Australia. How lucky for Andrew that the photographer Josh Alach is a friend of his, as these shots are amongst some of the most stunning and creative I've seen and actually scored a comment from my boyfriend who said it really made him wanted to get married!

Kathryn opted for a 1930's art deco theme for the wedding, so had the shots lightly stylized to give it that vintage look and feel. They married at the incredible St Andrew's Subiaco church (check out the stained glass windows!) and were then whisked in a stretched Rolls Royce to their reception venue on Cottesloe Beach, Indiana's.

Kathryn designed her beautiful 1930's style sequin dress and had it made in Singapore by Ada at Martini-G. The cute bridesmaids outfits were also made by the dressmaker and were inspired by a Monsoon design that Kathryn spotted in an old magazine! These dresses are great and I love theat they've teamed them with accessories like the fan and the beads (and the very high heels!) The girls' make-up was done by friend, Ashleigh Richards (contact at ash@ashhairandmakeup.com.au) and the beautiful jewellery was handmade by jeweller Melanie Adam.

A gorgeous and happy wedding all-round, and goes to show how fun having your photos taken can be, and I guarantee that Kathryn and Andrew will have THAT shot of them on the beach with the sun behind them on their wall (hell, even I'm tempted to!)

pillow talk

Not everyone's cup of tea, but these light hearted Mr and Mrs pillowcases either make a great gift to yourselves or as a wedding present for someone else. What better way to mark your anniversary than making sure these are on the bed on that special date.

anemone no 1

I've been dreaming of anemone flowers for a while now, so thought it was about time to put them up here. I love them. Huge poppy like flowers in whites, brights and pastels neatly huddled in one bouquet make for a very classy look indeed. Mix similar shades together for subtle-chic or go all out drama with the blood red flowers which will be nothing short of jaw dropping. In season Jan-May and from August-Dec so perfect for Spring and Winter weddings.

fashion shoot

Finally! After searching far and wide I've found a husband and wife Photography team Chanelle & Craig, otherwise known as Segerius-Bruce Photography who are UK based and who produce the most amazing shots! Here are some gorgeous examples of their work, which also includes their 'fashion-style' shoots. Along with their stunning wedding portraits, they also offer 'Shoot The Dress' (aka trash the dress) which is a post-wedding shoot of the bride (and her groom) in their wedding attire at a chosen location to create memorable images for keepsake - what bride wouldn't want to wear her dress for a second day...? For more beautiful photography check our their blog.

sunny days

Not sure why i'm feeling particularly sunny on a Monday morning when the sun isn't really shining, but these sunflower bouquets seem to have set me on a cheery note! The best thing about Sunflowers is not only are they perfect for a summer wedding, they are budget friendly too. If you are green fingered, you can even grow your own as they are easy to cultivate and how satisfying to have grown your own bouquet! There are two sizes of flower so you can choose to have a few larger flowers or many smaller ones. These images hopefully give some sunny inspiration!

Etsy Buy #1

I've seen this idea around a fair bit and now i'm quite excited as I can get my hands on them from Etsy! Mini personalised retro looking flags to pop into individual fairy cakes to give a kitsch tea party look. Gives oomph to plain fairy cakes (especially if you are making them yourself) or can add a cute finishing touch to favour cakes instead.

site savers

If you are looking to add more blogs to your browser (god knows I have enough!) then here are some new ones to look out for. Daily Candy have started up a site dedicated to weddings featuring unique and fab details on dresses, dancing and drinking and if you are already a fan of Daily Candy then you know they always come up trumps with ideas, whether you are marrying in London or New York. A favourite shopping site of mine has also produced a section dedicated to the big day, Sheerluxe weddings. If you are looking for where and what to buy then this is the place. Dedicated to everything gorgeous, you can find where to get pretty much everything for your day from rings to underwear to dresses to shoes to, well you get the idea. Be warned though - this site gives you the I-Wants. Badly.
