#155 Stunning Centrepieces

There are so many photographers who's work I am completely in awe of & the girls at U.S based Simply Bloom Photography certainly rank very highly in my list of favourites.
Their photographs are seriously stunning, as are these centrepieces from the recent wedding of Geri + Zach ...




Loving the colours & mix in textures, love that it's a bit quirky & fun but still absolutely perfect & polished. Each one looks like a miniature work of art, each one is a miniature work of art!
If I could redo my own centrepieces, I  think I would want them exactly like this. Just gorgeous.

Speaking of gorgeous...



Geri + Zach used black as their accent colour, I'm lusting over Geri's fabulous shoes! I also love that the shoe shot is a little more contemporary? I much prefer this to the standard shoe photograph that so many people seem to take & it's particularly fitting for shoes such as these that break the 'bridal' norm.

#128 Wedding Sandals With Some Sparkle

These white & silver sequined sandals from Sense Of Fashion would be ideal wedding flats & coming in at under $50 they are nice on the wedding budget too...

 

Beautiful don't you think?
Your feet would probably thank you after a whole night of dancing too!

It is absolutely amazing the prices some places charge for 'wedding shoes' . As in, white shoes...
In a Melbourne bridal shoe shop that shall remain nameless, I came across white platform thongs which yes, were definitely nothing more than thongs (I'm not not using the term loosely they were made from that cheap foamy stuff), they were presented in a red velvet lined wall recess with their own downlights.... $500. Five. Hundred. Dollars. For thongs!
Unbelievable. But obviously someone is buying these things...

Thank goodness for the ideas & options the internet supplies!

So I went missing.
I'm sorry ok? I was busy... & feeling lazy... & to be honest, a bit burnt out & uninspired.
Feeling a lot better now!

So annnnyway...
How cute is this wedding dress by Elizabeth Dye?
I think it would be so gorgeous as a bm dress too...

#34 Men in Grey

It would seem I'm on a roll (or not?!) with the dad jokes?

I think I *ahem* we have decided on grey suits.

This kind of pale shade of grey.

I have however, discovered that I am a little (ok a lot) suit ignorant?

There's so much to learn!

So apparently you can wear either brown, black or grey shoes with a grey suit.

I'm thinking that perhaps grey shoes could have a leaning towards being very...white shoe-ish though?

I haven't seen anyone, either about the place or in photos wearing brown shoes so I'm not sure what i think about that, and I'm thinking that black shoes look good - but do you think that means that you have to wear a black tie as well???

What would you think of a green tie? And would you think a charcoal grey tie would also be ok?

And that's not even getting into morning suits, dinner suits, yadda yadda yadda...

Not that I care too much what you are 'supposed' to do? hehe

I have a preference for the suits to be quite casual I guess, or maybe I mean semi-formal?

I've talked Mr N down from tuxedo-ing it at any rate.

I love vests. I love skinny ties. I love braces. I love hats?

So! What I would like to know, is what your preference is for a wedding suit - both in colours and styles???
