#160 Two Pink & Gold Weddings

I love this pale pink, gold & champagne wedding inspiration shoot styled by Elissa Keno & Kellie Kano with photography also by Kellie, featured in Elizabeth Anne Designs & The Sweetest Occassions 'Inspired Creations Contest'.


  


The May Tree tradition is a fantastic inspiration that has worked so well, it's such a whimsical centrepiece.
I love the glittery gold Nine West heels matched with all those soft, subdued & romantic tones & the floaty Pronovias gown & I am absolutely head over heels, butterflies in tummy in LOVE with that loft! Dreamy.

Also spied on Elizabeth Anne Designs, is this delicious ballet inspiration shoot for Project Wedding by Chelsea Fuss with Photography by Lisa Warninger.


  
  


The Elizabeth Dye Gown was coloured to a perfect pink & i suspect you can never really go wrong with peonies...
The op-shopped decor is fabulous & yet again I demonstrate my weakness for birch!

#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.

#148 DIY Light Shades

Remember me? Finally back up & running after a ridiculous stretch of computer problems.
Whoever it is out there with a little voodoo collection consisting of the majority of my electrics?
Thanks for easing up.
I have certainly realised that a back up plan is required! In the meantime I will be keeping my fingers crossed that I've used up all my technological bad luck for a long long time...

Lets get back to the good stuff shall we!?

These fabulous rustic chic light shades are via a very easy to follow diy tutorial on Project Wedding.
Even though I didn't get around to making these before our wedding I will definitely still see they turn out & if I am happy with the result, hopefully I can convince one of my lovely brides to let me work them into their big day! I'm also interested to see how they could be adapted to be a candle/tea light candle holder.



Speaking of tea light candles, here's a few that would look gorgeous as decor for a rustic event or as features for an event with neutral tones.

I adore silver birch & actually, just any kind of birch really? It brings such a stunning aesthetic to both event decor & home interiors without being overbearing.

It's good to be back!

#146 Porcelain Fortune Cookies

A bit of fortune cookie & chopstick action went down at our wedding. I will eventually share more of those details someday soon but I'm waiting on some exciting happenings first.
In the meantime, how deliciously gorgeous are these porcelain fortune cookies from Yoga Goat!

Lovely decorations & brilliant favour inspiration.
How cute is the tree decoration cookie idea? I love the matte finish & while I still like the gloss finish as pictured for the chopstick rests (chopsticks via pacific merchantile) I would much prefer the matte finish on those as well. There's something about white matte porcelain that just gets me, every single time.
Each one is hand sculpted & arrives packaged in a mini chinese takeout box. They are very durable & can even be washed in the dishwasher if they get a little dusty over time.

Even though clearly I came across these a little late to use for our wedding, I'm definitely keen to have some simply as home decor &/or tree decorations!

#130 Bamboo Earrings + Cuff links

Wooden earrings are brilliant, they are aesthetically very lovely but also so lightweight that they are incredibly comfortable to wear. I have a couple of pairs & they are easily favourites.
These earrings are from Bamboo Village, any guesses what they're made from?

 
 

So beautifully ornate. A bridesmaid accessory &/or gift?
The lotus pair are definitely my top pick of these & they're only $24.95!

And a pair of Bamboo Village cuff links for the boys, you know, so they don't feel left out.

#113 Place 'Cards'

I just love the contrast of these smooth pebbles & the crisp lines of the engraving. They seem like one of those things that are beautiful to look at but would be even lovelier to hold?
They would add a really gorgeous & understated aesthetic to a neutral colour scheme.
I would have loved them as a place card alternative!
I also think they would work really well as place cards for a wedding in the two birds theme that is so popular at the moment, perhaps even cradled in one of these nests?

I also think these wedding gifts & oathing stones are really quite sweet
